ISIS cuts the throats of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya, Egypt retaliates with airstrikes
  • 9 years ago
Egyptian warplanes have bombed ISIS positions in Libya after a video showing ISIS-affiliated terrorists decapitating 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians, most of whom were migrant workers kidnapped from the Libyan city of Sirte.

The slickly produced video shows masked knifemen herding their victims along a beach, after which the chief militant makes it clear that the Egyptians are being killed as a message to "The People of the Cross." After the usual speeches, 21 innocent men are murdered.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi promised swift retaliation, and on Monday Egyptian warplanes bombed ISIS targets in Libya. Around 10 percent of Egyptians are Coptic Christians, an ancient branch of the faith that first arrived in Egypt soon after the death of Jesus Christ.
