|   ” EGYPT As part of an ongoing anti-Christian campaign of violence in Egypt,
gunmen am bushed a caravan of Coptic Christians in late May. The two buses
and two other vehicles were travelling to the Monastery of St. Samuel the
Confessor, roughly 140 miles south of Cairo. Suddenly, a group of masked gunmen stormed the vehicles and opened fire on the passengers. In total, at least 35
people died in the attack and more than 25 were wounded. Many of those who
were killed or wounded were children. Sources told ICC that the precision and
execution of the attack indicate that it was planned out well in advance.”  Persecution Magazine,  9/2017, 35
