A bombing at a church in Egypt’s Nile Delta city of Tanta left at least 21 people dead and scores more wounded on the morning of April 9.
The Coptic church of Marjetes, also known as St George, was full to capacity at the time of the explosion as worshippers gathered for Palm Sunday.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility and the cause of the blast was not yet known.
The bombing comes just week prior to a visit to Egypt by Pope Francis.
