Gunmen in Egypt killed at least 26 people on a bus carrying Coptic Christians today. The bus was traveling to the St. Samuel Monastery, which is about 140 miles south of Cairo. Officials said there were eight to ten attackers, all dressed in military uniforms. Egypt has seen violence targeting Christians in recent months, including twin suicide bombings in April. Pope Francis visited Egypt last month to show his support for Christians in the country. After the pope’s visit, however, the Islamic State’s Egyptian affiliate vowed to escalate attacks against Christians in Egypt.
