Three Egyptians killed a Christian worshipper and wounded three others on Friday in knife attacks in three churches in the coastal city of Alexandria, security and police officials said. "We believe the three men were working together to carry out the attacks," said a security official, who did not want to be named.
He said all three were captured after the attacks and a fourth man was apprehended before he could carry out a similar attack on a fourth church in an area called Sporting.
The officials said Mahmoud Abdul Galil, a former government employee who was removed from his position because of mental illness, killed a 67-year-old worshipper at Saint George Church in the Hadra area of Alexandria. Mohammed Salah Eddin, a recent university graduate, wounded three worshippers in the Saints Church in the Sidi Bish area of Alexandria and an unknown man attacked worshippers in the Virgin Mary Church in the Fleming area, the officials said. No one was hurt in the Fleming incident, they said.
