Summary: ISIS claimed responsibility for deadly bombings at two Coptic churches in Egypt on Palm Sunday. Attacks against Christians one of the most important religious days is a horrible thing. The death toll rose to around 47 early Monday, media reported. Out of the 4 bombing targets they are not sure which one was bombed first. The first blast ripped was through a Palm Sunday service at St. George's Church in Tanta, killing at least 27 people and around 78 wounded, stated tv reporter. Supposedly there was a explosive device planted under a seat in the main prayer hall, they stated. "Everything was destroyed inside the church," said Peter Kamel, who saw the aftermath of the bombing. "It's marble pillars were covered with blood," Kamel also said while he was looking around the remains of the church. Moments after, at least 16 people were killed and 41 others wounded in a suicide bomb attack outside St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Alexandria, according to two state news outlets. Women were crying looking for their loved ones and hoping they weren't hurt.
Analysis: This article was posted on CNN. When I came across this article I related it to my family and my community. My family and I are Christian and i cant even image if that were to happen to us. It was a religious day, why cant the world just have peace? These were all innocent lives. North Korea is testing missiles that can possibly reach the US. We have fired missiles at Syria. It is as if bombs and missiles are the answer to all disagreements. We all see the terror and awfulness that ISIS has impacted in our world.
