    The blast took place outside the church as worshipers were leaving the New Year's mass in the early hours of January 1st this year. The Ministry of Interior later informed that the terror attack was perpetrated by a suicide bomber.

    "The verdict was received with cheers by the Copts"... isn't it a little contradictory with the Bible (or what christianity should be). Instead of cheering, maybe they should start worrying about their deads... Vengeance is not going to bring back anybody, it would change anything. I tought there was still people following what religious book learned us, but every day i am more and more deceive by what i see.
