BBC News - Egypt's president calls for unity after church bombing

BBC News - Egypt's president calls for unity after church bombing: "Hours after the attack, President Mubarak went on state television to express his shock and vow to track down those behind it.

'This act of terrorism shook the country's conscience, shocked our feelings and hurt the hearts of Muslim and Coptic Egyptians,' he said.

'The blood of their martyrs in Alexandria mixed to tell us all that all Egypt is the target and that blind terrorism does not differentiate between a Copt and a Muslim.

'We are all in this together and will face up to terrorism and defeat it.'

I am most impressed with President Mubaracks reaction, it really shows how he has managed to lead Egypt for so long.
