Egyptian Christians have buried their dead a day after suicide bombers from the so-called 'Islamic State' group killed at least 45 people in co-ordinated attacks targeting Palm Sunday services in two cities.

A string of attacks has killed nine members of Egypt’s security and military forces in an apparent retaliation by Islamic militants a day after more than 50 supporters of the ousted president were killed in clashes with police.

At least 12 Egyptians were killed and 50 injured when two buses collided head-on near the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh today.

POLICE said yesterday they were searching for six Pakistani men in their widening investigation into Egypt’s deadliest terror attack that killed at least 88 people at the Red Sea resort, according to the latest figures.
