Egypt: Militant group in Gaza behind church attack

Egypt says an al Qaeda-linked group in Gaza is behind the New Year's suicide bombing that killed 21 Christians and wounded about a hundred outside a church in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria.

The announcement was made Sunday by Interior Minister Habib al-Adly in a ceremony attended by President Hosni Mubarak, senior cabinet ministers and top police officials. He named the group as the Army of Islam. (AP)
