Egyptian warplanes bomb targets in Libya after attack on Christians, as al-Sisi asks Trump to head fight against terrorism
Egyptian air force planes on Friday carried out six strikes directed at camps near Derna in Libya where Cairo believes militants responsible for a deadly attack on Coptic Christians earlier in the day were trained, Egyptian military sources said. 28 people were killed in Friday's attack.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said he had directed strikes against what he called terrorist camps, declaring in a televized address that states that sponsored terrorism would be punished.
Al-Sisi called on US President Donald Trump to head the global fight against terrorism.
