Egypt: Bomb Targets Minority Coptic Christians, Killing 25
----------------------------------------------------------

In Egypt, a bomb exploded during Sunday mass in Cairo's main Coptic
Christian cathedral, killing 25 people and wounding nearly 50 others.
The blast tore apart pews and seared pillars, leaving at least six
children among the dead. There's been no claim of responsibility. It was
the worst violence against Egypt's minority Christian population since a
series of attacks in 2011.
