The Voice of the Martyrs helps persecuted Christians around the world. One way is by making the plight of the persecuted known through the BE-A-VOICE Network. Here’s the latest report:

Coptic Christians leaving a New Year’s Eve Mass celebration in Alexandria were greeted by a bomb explosion that killed dozens of people and injured nearly 100. Witnesses reported seeing a driver park a car at the entrance of the Church of Two Saints and then run away just minutes before the explosion ripped through the crowd shortly after midnight on Jan. 1. Government officials have claimed they found remnants of the bomb at the site, filled with nails and other makeshift shrapnel.
No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but the attack comes two months after an Islamic group known as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) issued a threat stating that, “All Christian centers, organizations and institutions, leaders and followers are legitimate targets for the mujahedeen [Muslim fighters] wherever they can reach them.”
