Egyptian president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has declared three days of national mourning after at least 26 people died in a blast at Cairo's main Coptic cathedral.


Mr al-Sisi has described it as a heinous terrorist act and promised to bring the perpetrators to justice.

It is the deadliest attack on Egypt's Christian minority in years.
