A terrorist detonated a 12kg bomb inside a church targeting Cairo’s main Coptic Christian community killing 25 people, including six children, and wounded a further 49.
The bombing, which is the latest attack on Cairo’s Coptic community, saw a terrorist enter the church and blast the female’s side of the building.
