A relative of one of the victims reacts after a church explosion killed at least 21 in Tanta, Egypt, April 9, 2017. Reuters"These acts will not harm the unity and cohesion of the people," Tawadros said later, according to state media. Thousands gathered outside the Tanta church shortly after the blast, some weeping and wearing black. Those attacks followed one of the deadliest on Egypt's Christian minority, when a suicide bomber hit its largest Coptic cathedral, killing at least 25 people. Islamic State later claimed responsibility for that attack.
