 20 KILLED IN EGYPTIAN RELIGIOUS CLASHES
 Twenty people are reported to have died
 in Egypt's worst inter-communal        
 religious violence for many years.     
                                        
 Gun battles between Muslims and Coptic 
 Christians near al-Kosheh village, 250 
 miles south of Cairo, reportedly arose 
 from a dispute between two shopkeepers.
                                        
 Security sources said one of the dead  
 was a Muslim and 19 were Copts. Between
 33 and 45 people were reported injured.
                                        
 More than 30 shops were looted and     
 burnt during the clashes.
