Girl's martyring takes Egypt church bombing toll to 26

Martyr Magy Momen

Magy Momen 10-year-old girl died Tuesday of wounds suffered in a Cairo church bombing this month, bringing the martyrs toll to 26 excluding the attacker.

Funeral of 10 years old child Magy Momen who was seriously injured in a terrorist attack against St. Peter Coptic church was held today in the presence of Pope Tawadros and several bishops.

Abba Raphael, General Secretary of the Holy Synod, said that victims of the terrorist attack are martyrs since they were killed for Christ’s sake.

The bombing during mass at the Saint Peter and Saint Paul church was the deadliest attack in recent memory to target Egypt's minority Coptic Christians.
