26 Coptic Christians gunned down on bus in Egypt
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/26/...st-26.html

Quote:A team of gunmen opened fire on a bus carrying Coptic Christians south of Cairo Friday, killing at least 26 people, including children, and wounding 25 other people, Egyptian officials confirmed.

As many as 10 attackers stormed the bus dressed in military uniforms and wearing masks, according to witnesses. The Christian victims were on their way to visit a monastery.

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but Egypt’s Coptic Christians have become the preferred target of the Islamic State in the region. Egypt's Copts, the Middle East's largest Christian community, have repeatedly cried out for help from discrimination, as well as outright attacks, at the hands of the country's majority Muslim population.


So who do y'all think did it this time? The Irish Republican Army or the Mennonites?

WaPo reports that three gay men have been killed in Chechnya.

Just a little perspective for the board to cogitate on.
