At least 25 people were killed and 49 people were injured after a bomb ripped through Cairo’s main Coptic cathedral during Sunday Mass, Egyptian officials said. The bomb struck an adjacent chapel of St. Mark’s Cathedral, the seat of the Coptic Orthodox Church and the spiritual center of Egypt’s Christian minority. According to the New York Times, Egyptian security officials said the attackers had placed 26 pounds of TNT in the chapel for the bombing. No groups have yet claimed responsibility, but security forces have been battling an ISIS-affiliated insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula, which has also carried out bombings in larger Egyptian cities. The blast did not endanger Coptic Pope Tawadros II, who was in Greece for a meeting of Orthodox leaders.
