At least 26 Coptic Christians have reportedly been killed by gunmen in Egypt.
The Christians were travelling by bus to a monastery when they were attacked. Many of those killed were children, according to the New York Times.
Health officials said that the attack happened on Friday while the bus was travelling on the road to the St Samuel Monastery in the Minya governorate, about 220 kilometres, or about 140 miles, south of the Egyptian capital.
The health ministry has said there were between eight and 10 attackers dressed in military uniforms, according to witnesses.
