Angrep på buss på vei til koptisk kloster, minst syv drept

Bilde fra et tidligere angrep

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.
