Gunmen have attacked a bus carrying Coptic Christians in central Egypt, killing at least 28 people and wounding 25 others, officials say.
The bus was travelling to the Monastery of St Samuel the Confessor, 135km (85 miles) south of Cairo, from Minya province when it came under fire.
No group immediately said it was behind the attack.
But Islamic State (IS) militants have targeted Copts several times in recent months, and vowed to do so again.
Two suicide bombings at Palm Sunday services at churches in the northern cities of Alexandria and Tanta on 9 April left 46 people dead.
Another suicide bombing at a church in the capital in December killed 29 people, while a Christian community was forced to flee the town of el-Arish in the northern Sinai peninsula after a series of gun attacks in February. * +

President Sisi said he would not hesitate to strike terrorist camps anywhere.

Announcing the strike in a TV speech late on Friday, he promised to protect our people from the evil.

He said that countries which support terrorism should be punished, and appealed to US President Donald Trump for help. * +

Daesh strategy depends on driving a wedge between Muslims and Christians, Mr Sisi said, using an alternative name for IS.
He said that children had been on the bus and were among the dead, adding that a pick-up truck in the convoy carrying workmen at the monastery was also targeted. * +

Copts are the modern day descendants of the Ancient Egyptians. Their language as well. The Egyptian Muslims are from the same lineage too. Egyptian Arabic eventually replacing the Coptic language and most of the population being Arabized. * +
