Minst sju personer ble drept da flere væpnede menn åpnet ild mot en buss på vei til et koptisk kloster i Minya-provinsen i Egypt.
Klosteret ligger om lag 20 mil sør for Kairo.
A similar attack involving the same monastery took place in May 2017, when gunmen driving three 4×4 wheelers shot at a bus carrying Coptic pilgrims to the same location, killing 30 people.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for that attack.
Kopterne er kristne og var i Egypt før islam kom. Islam liker ikke konkurrenter.
