Islamists supporting former president Mohamed Mursi and members of the hardline Islamist group al-Gamaa al-Islamiya fired at a diocese in Qena while marching on Friday, an Aswat Masriya eyewitness reported.

The Qena diocese is a district under the care of a Christian bishop.

The protesters also ransacked two offices as they marched to the governorate's headquarters, the eyewitness added.
