Muhammad Nour, Security Chief of Luxor tells Fr. Sarabamoun : These forces are not here to protect the Copts but to prevent them from praying in church:
Security Chief has asked Fr. Sarabamoun,- the priest of Holy Virgin Mary Church in the village of Udayasaat, Luxor- to enter the church, once he did and saw the alters he informed the priest not to pray and to leave the church, later on he informed the security forces that their mission is not to protect the Copts nor the church but to prevent them from praying. Afterwards the Muslim crowd started attacking the church and the Copts in a barbaric way at 7:00 PM on Wednesday night ( January 18, 2006) , the raid continued till 2:00 AM despite the heavy presence of security forces
