As many as 10 attackers in 3 SUVs stormed the bus dressed in military uniforms and wearing masks, according to witnesses. The victims were on their way to visit a monastery to pray. Only three children survived the attack, the Copts United news portal reported.

Video circulating on social media after the attack showed about the bodies of about 10 men scattered in the sand on the side of the road with pools of blood around them. Children hysterically screaming could be heard in the background. Local media also reported that the attackers were recording video themselves.

Coptic Christians have often become the primary target of the Islamic State in the region.

Well liberals? Here we are again. What do you propose we do about this? More candles? More crying? More hugging? More changing the profile pictures? I don't think so.

There's room for that after the fact. Let's do something about this. Remember what Dan said? We'd be right back here discussing the next one months away. (Well, he was partly wrong because this severe of an attack happened before his time limit expired.)

Current methods didn't work after the Manchester bombing, we need to change.

Dude this is in Egypt, don't drag us into this. And don't use people's deaths to shamelessly promote political beliefs. Not cool.

You're throwing the attack under the bus because you don't live there. Bigot and hypocrite.

Without promoting political beliefs during the attacks, nothing is ever done. No wonder they're still attacking. We're too busy grieving every time.

Don't drag in the fact that nothing happened after the Manchester bombings? That right there is the reason why we still have attacks!

The reason we still have attacks is we're attacking them. What do you expect to happen?

Explain how? We don't know who they are so can't kill them.

Yes we do. They're radical Islamic terrorists. And we bomb the hell out of them.

You can't "bomb the hell out of them" if you don't know where they are. You seem to think they're a proper state based in one place with an evil lair that we can break into and steal their plans for world domination, but this is guerrilla warfare with moving targets who hide behind children when they get found. Also how exactly do you believe bombing a random middle eastern country will stop people born and raised in the country of attack from doing anything?
