These terrorist crimes are blatant violation of the right to live, the highest part of human rights, which is maintained by all religions.

At least 25 people were killed, while 49 others were injured in an explosion that targeted the Boutrosiya Church which is adjacent to the St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Abbassiya in Cairo.
