Fire in Giza church contained, suspect detained

A man set fire to curtains in the Virgin Mary Church in Kerdasa, Giza, and was detained; the interior ministry says he suffers from a psychological disorder.

• The fire damaged three curtains and a floor carpet in a hall on the church's first floor.
• Security forces subdued and detained the man, who was found stripped of his upper clothing and muttering incoherent words.
• The interior ministry said his psychological disorder stems from "ice" drug addiction and that he was previously admitted to a mental health facility.
• The Coptic Orthodox Bishopric of Central Giza said the fire broke out at 6 a.m. when the man entered under the pretense of prayer, confirming no casualties.
