Another group of 11 people was also killed outside Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Alexandria. Sources say Pope Tawadros II, the head of the Coptic church was inside Saint Mark’s during the attack but he was not hurt. Shortly after the attack, the government reported that the police thwarted a suicide attack on Saint Mark’s, when they intercepted a man carrying an explosive belt. But this is not going to happen if 99% of the Egyptian population is sidelined and repressed. Including the Coptic minority which must know by now that the Sisi regime cannot protect it.
