Mass funeral for victims of St. George church in Tanta

Mourners filled one of the churches in Egypt bombed during Sunday morning hymns for the funeral of victims of a pair of attacks that killed at least 44.

Families wept over coffins following yesterday’s Palm Sunday massacre against Coptic Christians, who were targeted in two suicide attacks that were claimed by the Islamic State

27 were killed and 78 injured in the Nile Delta town of Tanta, about 60 miles north of Cairo, when a bomber slipped past closed church doors and metal detectors at the Coptic church of St. George.
