According to Reuters, Masked gunmen attacked a group of Coptic Christians in southern Egypt on Friday, killing 26 people and wounding 26 others as they were driving to a monastery, medical sources and eyewitnesses said.

The group was traveling in two buses and a small truck in Minya province, which is home to a sizeable Christian minority, the sources said.

 Provincial governor Essam al-Bedaiwy said earlier that 23 people had been killed and 25 wounded.
