Cairo clashes leave 24 dead and more than 200 wounded after Coptic church protest since Egypt's former President Hosni Mubarak was ousted in February.
The attack took place in Aswan province last week with Coptic Christians blaming on Muslim radicals.
Prime Minister ESSAM SHARAF said what was taking place were not clashes between Muslims and Christians but attempts to provoke chaos and dissent.
Funerals are to be held and the cabinet organizes an emergency meeting on Monday.
