A bomb has struck a church north of Cairo, killing at least 13 people and wounding 35 others.

The attack took place on the Coptic Christian Palm Sunday, when the church in the Nile Delta town of Tanta was packed with worshippers

Christians make up around 10 per cent of Egypt's population and have repeatedly been targeted by Islamic extremists.
