Governments around the world have begun condemning these atrocities in Alexandria Egypt.

American President Barack Obama Released the following statement from the white house

I strongly condemn the separate and outrageous terrorist bombing attacks in Egypt and Nigeria. The attack on a church in Alexandria, Egypt caused 21 reported deaths and dozens of injured from both the Christian and Muslim communities.  The perpetrators of this attack were clearly targeting Christian worshipers, and have no respect for human life and dignity. They must be brought to justice for this barbaric and heinous act.  We are continuing to gather information regarding this terrible event, and are prepared to offer any necessary assistance to the Government of Egypt in responding to it.

The United States extends its deepest condolences to the families of those killed and to the wounded in both of these attacks, and we stand with the  Egyptian people at this difficult time.

The EU released the following statement

“The High Representative is deeply saddened by the news of the attack against worshipers at the Coptic Church in Alexandria that killed and injured a large number of innocent civilians. Catherine Ashton condemns unreservedly the attack against innocent Copt worshipers and expresses her deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the victims, and to the Egyptian Authorities. There cannot be any justification for this attack. The right of Christian Copts to gather and worship freely must be protected.”
