Former Lebanese Prime Minister and current Future bloc leader MP Fouad Siniora visited the headquarters of the Christian Coptic Church in Sin al-Fil on Tuesday and offered his condolences over the violent clashes that killed a number of Egyptian Copts Sunday in Cairo.

Siniora called for uncovering the perpetrators of the violence punishing them, according to a statement issued his office.

On Sunday, 25 people were killed and more than 300 injured in clashes after a demonstration by Coptic Christians was attacked by the army and thugs, sparking furious condemnation of the leadership’s handling of the transition from Hosni Mubarak’s rule.
