Attack on Bus in Egypt: 20 Coptic Christians killed
Attack on Bus in Egypt: 20 Coptic Christians killed: The incident happened in Minya province, which is located about 220km (140 miles) south of the capital Cairo. The bus was heading to the Monastery of St Samuel.
Islamic State (IS) militants have on numerous occasions attacked the Copts in recent months. Earlier two suicide bombings which targeted churches on the 9th, April, 2017 left 46 people dead.
Those attacks had prompted the President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi to declare a nationwide state of emergency. The President had also promised to do whatever that was necessary to confront jihadists.
In Egypt the Coptic Orthodox Church is the main Christian Church. Most of the Copts live in Egypt, however the Church has about a million members outside the country.
According to the Copts it is believed that the history of the Coptic Church dates back to around 50 AD, when the Apostle Mark is believed to have visited Egypt. The head of the Coptic Church is called the Pope and is considered to be the successor of St Mark.
According to this history Coptic Church is one of the earliest Christian groups outside the Holy Land.
The Church had separated from its other Christian denominations at the Council of Chalcedon (451 AD), after a dispute over the human and divine nature of Jesus Christ caused them to split.
