Over 40 DEAD in bombings at Christian churches on Palm Sunday; ISIS claims responsibility

Another postcard from the religion of peace.

Watch below:

From the UK Independent:

At least 37 people have been killed in two bomb attacks targeting two Egyptian churches packed with Palm Sunday worshippers claimed by Isis.

​The first attack took place in the Saint George church in the Nile Delta town of Tanta, north of Cairo, killing 26 and wounding more than 70.

Later, an explosion hit Saint Mark’s Cathedral in the coastal city of Alexandria, the historic seat of Christendom in Egypt, killing at least 11 and wounding 35 just after Pope Tawadros II finished services.

His aides later told local media he had escaped unharmed.

Egypt’s Interior Ministry said a suicide bomber tried to storm the entrance before being stopped in police. The ministry said three policemen were among those killed in the attack.

UPDATE!

ISIS has taken responsibility for the attacks:

Analysts have been saying that it’s only a matter of time before ISIS loses its “caliphate” completely – but that doesn’t mean it will stop existing. It is moving to be a non-state decentralized leader of terrorism all around the world.
