Blast kills 22, injures 35 in Egypt
A blast in the Egyptian capital has killed 20 people and injured 35 others, Egyptian state TV says.
The explosion occurred at Cairo’s Coptic Cathedral on Sunday.
No group or individual has so far claimed responsibility for the deadly incident.
Just two days earlier, a terrorist bombing attack in the west of the Egyptian capital had six policemen dead and seven people wounded.
The Friday bombing targeted a security post in the Talibiya district of Cairo.
Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis (ABM), currently known as “The Sinai Province,” is currently the most active group staging terrorist operations in Egypt. It is affiliated to the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group.
Militants from the group have carried out numerous attacks on security forces and judiciary officials since the ouster of the democratically-elected president Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
