ALEXANDRIA, Egypt
(Reuters) - A bomb killed at least 17 people outside a church in the Egyptian city of Alexandria early on New Year's Day and the Interior Ministry said a foreign-backed suicide bomber may have been responsible.
Dozens of people were wounded by the blast, which scattered body parts, destroyed cars and smashed windows. The attack prompted Christians to protest on the streets, and some Christians and Muslims hurled stones at each other.
Egypt has stepped up security around churches, banning cars from parking outside them, since an al Qaeda-linked group in Iraq issued a threat against the Church in Egypt in November. the rest

Terrorism MUST STOP ! muslims and christians have lived in relative peace side by side, yes we all have had wars in past , but we eventually get along. This attack was horrible and I condemn it. I hope the people who did this attack are found and get punished. R.I.P to those victims and may the peace be with all christians and all faiths.i hope this year 2011 will be a peaceful year to all.
