At St, George’s Church in Tanta, 50km north of Cairo, the blast killed some 25 people and injured 50. Two hours later, another bomb exploded in front of the Coptic cathedral in Alexandria killing up to 18 Christians and injuring 30. The Coptic Patriarch Theodorus who led the prayers, left the church minutes before the explosion.
