The council ordered to transfer all those arrested in connection with Saturday's events, to the Supreme Military Court, to be an example to all those who intent to mess with the destiny of this nation, according to a statement posted on its facebook official page.

The SCAF also said it would "set up a committee to assess the damage caused by the clashes and to restore all properties and places of worship, adding that it will strongly face any attempt to mess with the worship houses.

The SCAF warned of the dangers facing Egypt during this critical phase and called on all communities in Egypt, the youth of the revolution, the national forces and Islamic and Christian scholars to stand like a wall against any attempt by forces of evil to tear the national fabric.

Clashes between Muslims and Coptics erupted outside Saint Mena Coptic Orthodox Church Saturday night in Imbaba neighborhood, Giza Governorate when groups of angry Muslims headed to the church where they said a Coptic girl was held inside for consenting to marry a Muslim. At least ten people were killed and 186 injured in the clashes.
