埃及教堂炸彈襲擊致47人亡 總統宣佈進入緊急狀態
Egypt's President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi announced a three-month state of emergency across the country after attacks on two Coptic churches that left at least 47 dead.
在兩座科普特教堂遭襲導致至少47人死亡後，埃及總統阿卜杜勒·法塔赫·阿爾塞西宣佈全國進入爲期3個月的緊急狀態。The first bombing, in Tanta, a Nile Delta city about 100 km north of Cairo, tore through the inside of St George Church during its Palm Sunday service, the Ministry of Health said.
據埃及衛生部介紹，第一起爆炸發生在距開羅以北約100公里的尼羅河三角洲城市坦塔的聖喬治教堂，事發時教堂正在舉行棕枝主日彌撒。The second, a few hours later in Alexandria, hit St Mark's Cathedral.
數小時後，第二起爆炸發生在亞歷山大聖馬可教堂。
Mr Sisi made a defiant speech at the presidential palace after a meeting of the national defence council to discuss the explosions.
在與國防委員會開會商討爆炸事件後，塞西總統在總統府發表了一段措辭強硬的演講。He warned that the war against the jihadists would be "long and painful", and said that the state of emergency would come into force after all "legal and constitution steps" were taken.
他警告稱，對伊斯蘭聖戰分子的鬥爭將是“漫長而痛苦的”，緊急狀態將在採取所有的法律和憲法措施之後開始生效。So-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying two of its fighters wearing suicide vests carried out the attacks and warning of more to come.
所謂的“伊斯蘭國”宣稱對襲擊事件負責，稱兩名身穿自殺式炸彈背心的“伊斯蘭國戰士”實施了襲擊，並警告將製造更多襲擊事件。The assault is the latest on a religious minority increasingly targeted by Islamist militants, and a challenge to President Al Sisi, who has pledged to protect them as part of his campaign against extremism.
伊斯蘭武裝分子越來越多地將少數派宗教作爲襲擊目標，針對埃及教堂的襲擊是其最新行動，也是對埃及總統塞西的挑釁。塞西曾承諾保護少數宗教派，作爲打擊極端主義的部分舉措。
