Vigil marks Coptic church attack
Description
Hundreds of Egyptians hold a silent vigil in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria.
They are marking the first anniversary of a large explosion that went off outside "The Saints Church" on the 31st December 2010.
Twenty-three people, both Muslim and Christian, were killed in the attack, for which no-one has yet been brought to justice.
Ayman Nour, chairman and founder of al-Ghad political party, joined the vigil.
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) THE CHAIRMAN OF AL-GHAD PARTY, AYMAN NOUR, SAYING:
"Egypt still feels bitterness and pain because of that treacherous accident. And after a year, the criminals are still free men. Egypt feels bitterness and pain because of the death of those people who were killed without any guilt."
At a service held inside the Coptic Christian church, a priest gave a sermon on tolerance in life.
He also highlighted the violence that Egypt's Coptic minority has suffered in the last ten years.
