The British Embassy in Cairo lowered flags at half mast to mourn the victims of Sunday's bombing inside the Boutrosiya Church next to St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Abbasiya.

British Ambassador to Egypt John Casson condemned on Sunday the terrorist attack which left 25 people dead and 49 wounded.

The terror attack comes as part of malicious plots to destroy the future of Egypt and tear up the social fabric, Casson said in a statement.

The UK will stand by Egypt in its war against terrorism, he added.
