Reporting from CairoEgypt suffered the deadliest unrest since President Hosni Mubarak's ouster when clashes Wednesday between Muslims and Coptic Christians left 13 dead and 140 injured.
The bloodshed, on the edge of a Cairo slum, renewed concern about the government's willingness to protect the Christian minority. Army units intervened only after Muslims set fire to homes and businesses.

The Egyptian military said it had arrested about 100 men armed with knives and weapons who were planning to carry out a new attack on the protesters.
