Easter prayers have begun amid tight security, in Egypt, one week after attacks claimed the lives of at least 45 in Tanta and Alexandria.

Religious minorities are increasingly targeted by Sunni Islamist militants, posing a challenge to President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who has pledged to protect them as part of his campaign against extremism.
So-called Islamic State terror group claimed responsibility for the attacks on Palm Sunday
