ISIS claimed responsibility Tuesday for a suicide bombing at Cairo’s main Coptic cathedral and threatened more attacks against Christians.
The militant group said in a statement that a suicide bomber whom it identified as Abu Abdallah al-Masri had detonated his explosive belt inside the church.
“Every infidel and apostate in Egypt and everywhere should know that our war … continues,” the group said in the statement, published by its Amaq news agency.
The name it gave for the suicide bomber differed from that announced by Egyptian authorities Monday – Mahmoud Shafik Mohammed Mostafa. It gave no explanation.
