Explosion at Cairo’s Coptic cathedral kills 22, wounds dozens
A bomb explosion inside the main Coptic Christian cathedral in Egypt’s capital, Cairo, has killed 25 people and wounded dozens.
Reports say a bomb was lobbed inside a chapel adjacent to one of the cathedral’s walls in the centre of the city.
The spiritual leader of Egypt’s Orthodox Christian community, Pope Tawadros II, has his office in St Mark’s Cathedral.
The deadly attack is the second to hit Cairo in two days.
Six policemen were killed on Friday in a bomb attack claimed by a group suspected by authorities of having links to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
