8:06 PM (7 minutes ago)Car Bomb Kills 7 at Egyptian Church As Worshippers Gathered to Greet New Yearfrom Gateway Pundit by Jim HoftAt lease seven Christians were killed today when a car bomb exploded outside a Christian Coptic Church in Alexandria, Egypt.


The worshippers were leaving mass when the bomb went off.

France 24 reported:



At least seven people died and 24 were injured early Saturday in an attack on a Christian church in the northern Egyptian city of Alexandria, rescue workers told AFP.



The toll was expected to rise as a number of victims were taken away by car from the scene of the explosion, they said.



The attack, apparently caused by a car bomb, took place as the faithful left the church in the Sidi Bechr district at around half past midnight on New Year’s Day. The witnesses said a burnt-out car was in front of the entrance to the church.



Many Christians were demonstrating in front of a nearby mosque, the witnesses told AFP.
