The article claims that President Husnī Mubārak has admitted that this has been a bad year for Egypt's Copts, who were victims of several attacks.

He also promised a prompt response to the latest attack and called for national unity, even referring to the victims of the Alexandria church bombing as "martyrs," which the article claims is usually reserved for Muslims. He added that the target of the attack was the entire Egyptian nation, not only Copts.
