A suicide bomber was behind the blast at an Alexandria church that killed 11 people on Sunday, Egypt's interior ministry said.
The bomber tried to storm the church where Coptic Pope Tawadros II was leading a Palm Sunday service but blew himself up when police prevented him from entering, the ministry said in a statement.
A Coptic Church official said Tawadros had left the church before the blast.
