ZAWIYAT ABU MUSALLEM, Egypt (Reuters) - Kasbana Abdelaziz's house guests had barely arrived when the mob was upon them, hurling petrol bombs and smashing holes through the roof of her home.

The attackers then dragged four men - Shi'ite Muslims who had come to this Cairo suburb for a religious festival - out into the street and beat them to death.
