Copts link killings to politics

Egyptian police have said the three suspects arrested over a mass shooting outside a Coptic Christian church on January 6 have denied involvement.

It was the worst attack against Christians in Egypt in nearly a decade.

Some of the victims' families have told Al Jazeera that politicians may have been behind the shooting.
