   Palm Sunday attacks: ISIS says it carried out bombings at churches in   
   Egypt that killed at least 37   
      
      
   The ISIS terror group has claimed responsibility for two separate Palm   
   Sunday bombing attacks at Coptic Christian churches in Egypt that have   
   killed 37 people and injured more than 100.   
      
   The first blast happened at St. George church in the Nile Delta town of Tanta,   
   where at least 26 people were killed and 71 others wounded, officials said.   
      
   Television footage showed the inside of the church, where a large number of   
   people gathered around what appeared to be lifeless, bloody bodies covered   
   with papers.   
      
   A second explosion was later reported at St. Mark's Cathedral in the coastal   
   city of Alexandria, leaving at least 11 dead, and 35 injured. The attack came   
   just after Pope Tawadros II -- leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church of   
   Alexandria -- finished    
   services, but aides told local media that he was unharmed.   
      
   ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks via its Aamaq media agency, after   
   the group recently released a video vowing to step up attacks against   
   Christians, who the group describes as "infidels" empowering the West against   
   Muslims.
