About Nag Hammâdi
The Nag Hammadi massacre was a massacre of Coptic Christians carried out on the eve of 7 January 2010, in the Egyptian city of Nag Hammadi. The massacre occurred when Mohamed Hussein started shooting in front of the Nag Hammadi Cathedral, as Coptic Christians were leaving the church after celebrating the midnightRead more
Christmas Divine Liturgy. The massacre resulted in the murder of six Coptic Christians and one (1) police officer. Nine other Copts were confirmed to be wounded, and two Muslims were reportedly wounded in the attack. Egypt's Interior Ministry said it suspected the attack was motivated by the alleged rape by a Christian of a Muslim girl.
The Nag Hammadi massacre gained widespread international attention, and was condemned by Pope Benedict XVI, Lebanese MP Nadim Gemayel, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, and Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon. The massacre was one of the most serious outbreaks of anti-Christian violence in Egypt, and the worst since the murder of 21 Coptic Christians in Kosheh in January 2000.
