on coptic christians in egypt that killed almost a0 people. earlier, my colleague spoke to a representative of the coptic christian church in the uk about the attack. it is a heretic thing to happen, especially as people were celebrating palm sunday around the world. i have spoken to our bishop in tanta, as well as our representatives in cairo, and we have confirmed that a lot of the people who died were families celebrating in churches, and our hearts go out to the security services in alexandria who tried to stop the suicide bomber, most of whom lost their lives as well. this attack in tanta was time for maximum impact, wasn't it? they both were. they were targeting full churches on a day that is very well attended. 0f course, it is really difficult to understand the psyche of someone who tries to cause such indiscriminate carnage, especially at a time of vulnerability, when people are standing and praying. this, sadly, is of course not the first time that coptic christians have been targeted in egypt. it does seem to be getting worse, the threat rising to a whole new level
