[quote]Gunmen have attacked a bus carrying Coptic Christians in central Egypt,[B] killing at least 28 people and wounding 25 others, officials say.[/B]

The bus was travelling to the Monastery of St Samuel the Confessor, 135km (85 miles) south of Cairo, from Minya province when it came under fire.

[B]No group immediately said it was behind the attack.[/B]

But Islamic State (IS) militants have targeted Copts several times in recent months, and vowed to do so again.

Their bus was in a small convoy that was stopped on a desert road near Adwa police station on the border between Minya and Beni Suef provinces.

[B]Between eight and 10 gunmen wearing military uniforms attacked the convoy, officials cited witnesses as saying. The gunmen then fired at the vehicles with automatic weapons before fleeing in three 4x4 vehicles, they added.[/B][/quote]

The sheer inhumanity of these people amazes me. How does one shoot at a bus full of civilians and think he's doing the right thing?

I scanned SH but missed it, guess the thread dropped lower than what I searched.
