(Vatican Radio) Egypt’s Christian community was the target
of a pair of terror attacks in different cities on Sunday, in which dozens of
people were killed and scores of others injured.
In Alexandria, an explosion outside St Mark’s cathedral
killed 11 people.
Pope Tawadros II had been attending Mass inside, though he
was unhurt.
An earlier blast at St George’s church in Tanta in the Nile
Delta north of Cairo killed more than two dozen people.
The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for
both attacks.
