CAIRO: Gunmen shot dead a Coptic Christian priest in Egypt’s lawless Northern Sinai on Saturday in what could be the first sectarian attack since the military overthrow of Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, security sources said.

The shooting in the coastal city of El Arish was one of several attacks believed to be by Islamist insurgents that included firing at four military checkpoints in the region, the sources said.

  1. We must start a campaign that murders should not be called ‘Islamists’!. Any one that murders an innocent civilian has nothing to do with Islam, where ‘ist’ or no ‘ists’.
