Islamic State claims Egypt church bombings

The Islamic State group claims responsibility for bombing two Egyptian churches on Sunday in the deadliest attacks on the country’s Christian minority in recent memory.

“Islamic State squads carried out the attacks on two churches in Tanta and Alexandria,” says the group’s self-styled Amaq news agency in a statement published on social media accounts.
