Egypt Coptic Church cuts back Easter celebrations after attacks

Egypt's Coptic Church says it will cut back Easter celebrations after the two bomb attacks that killed at least 45 people last weekend.


Church events are cancelled and only prayers will be held, it says.

Egypt's government imposed a three-month state of emergency following the bombings in Alexandria and the Nile Delta city of Tanta on Palm Sunday.

Meanwhile, officials say one of the suicide bombers was a fugitive with links to "militant" cells.
