Coptic Christians celebrate mass in Libya. They were hoping for a new era after the 2011 revolution and death of Gaddafi.
An explosion at a Coptic Church in Misrata, Libya killed two Christians yesterday.
France 24 reported, via Religion of Peace:
An explosion rocked a Christian Coptic church near the western Libyan city of Misrata on Sunday, killing two people and wounding two others, all of them Egyptians, an Egyptian diplomat told AFP.
“Two Egyptians were killed and two were wounded,” said the diplomat at the Egyptian embassy in Tripoli who declined to be named.
“The church explosion was in the town of Dafniya in Misrata (province). The consul went directly to Misrata to find out the details. We still don’t have clear information,” the diplomat said.
Earlier, a security official said one Egyptian was killed and three others were wounded in the blast at a Coptic church. The Egyptian diplomat said that one of those hurt in the explosion died later at the hospital.
