More than 36 Killed In Palm Sunday Church Bombings In Egypt... ISIS claim responsibility (Photos)

Bombings at two Egyptian churches killed more than 36 people as they gathered to mark Palm Sunday, officials said, in one of the deadliest recent attacks on the country's Coptic Christians.

The attacks happen at Mar Girgis church in the city of Tanta north of Cairo and Saint Mark's Church in the coastal city of Alexandria

Egyptian officials denounced the attack as an attempt to sow divisions in the country, while Francis sent his "deep condolences" to Coptic Christian Pope Tawadros II.

The first blast killed at least 25 people and wounded more than 70 when it hit the church in Nile Delta City of Tanta, about 120 kilometres (75 miles) north of Cairo, according to a health ministry toll.

The second blast killed at least 11 people and wounded 35 at the church in Alexandria, Egypt's second largest city, according to the health ministry.
