Two blasts targeting Coptic Christians in Egypt on Palm Sunday have killed at least 42 people, officials say.

In Alexandria, an explosion outside St Mark's Coptic church killed 13 people. Pope Tawadros II, head of the Coptic Church, had been attending Mass inside and was unhurt, state media reported.

An earlier blast at St George's Coptic church in Tanta killed 29 people.

So-called Islamic State (IS) says it is behind the explosions. The group has recently targeted Copts in Egypt.

Interesting how we view events beyond Europe and America completely differently.

Some lives matter more than others. Discuss..

Exactly, if it were 42 Sunni or Shia killed then we wouldn't bat an eye. Media wants to report what hits home. We are a largely Christian and secular country, this hits home more. Media are there to sell stories it can be both goodand bad.

I wonder how many were killed yesterday (without a Google) by guns in the US? My guess would be over 42.

Don't agree with some lives matter more than others but with ISIS and their sympathisers waging a world wide war it is obviously going to get more attention because we have been affected by it ourselves.
