Deadly Egypt bomb 'foreign-backed'
"A bomb that has killed 21 people outside an Egyptian church was possibly the work of a foreign-backed suicide bomber.
The interior ministry has said the blast did not originiate in any of the cars that were destroyed: "It is likely that the device which exploded was carried by a suicide bomber who died among others."
The explosion wounded 43 people as worshippers marking the New Year left the church in the city of Alexandria.
The bombing prompted hundreds of Christians to take to the streets in protest. Some Christians and Muslims pelted each other with rocks, a witness said, and cars were set on fire."
