Pope Shenuda to leave Cairo tomorrow for the USA

Pope Shenuda of Alexandria (Egypt) is leaving Cairo tomorrow for the USA to attend Pope Antonios' day in his convent in California.

Pope Shenuda is to return to Egypt before February 24 to receive Pope John Paul II of the Vatican, who will visit Egypt on February 24 - 26.

Egyptian sources denied anything to do between Pope John Paul's visit and the developments between the Moslems and the Christians in al-Kosheh village as the sources said that Pope John Paul's visit was scheduled before the al-Kosheh events, and Egypt will not allow anyone to interfere in its internal affairs and that it does mind Pope John Paul's visit to al-Kosheh village.
