Attack on Coptic cathedral
Lesson Brief
Ynet
On November 12, 25 people were killed when a bomb went off in St. Mark's Coptic Cathedral in Cairo. The bomb was reportedly planted in a suitcase by a woman who then fled the scene and detonated the bomb remotely. The attack on Egypt's Christian minority has led to a flare in tensions between Christians and Muslims, with many Copts blaming the security forces for not properly securing the church. At the same time, religious clerics from both faiths strongly condemned the attack.
Suggested Set: ISIS imitators in Sinai
