IS Claims Deadly Attack on Egypt Christians
The Islamic State jihadist group on Saturday claimed responsibility for an attack on a bus in central Egypt that killed dozens of Christians, its propaganda arm said.
"A security detachment from the Islamic State carried out an attack yesterday in Minya, targeting a bus carrying Copts and taking the lives of 32 of them," Amaq reported.
Egypt's prime minister said in a statement late Friday that the official death toll had risen to 29.
