An Egyptian court has sentenced two men to death for an attack on Coptic Christians in 2017 that killed 10 people.

A gunman first opened fire on a Christian-owned shop in Cairo, then shot at worshippers at the entrance to a nearby church.

The Islamic State group said it was behind the attack.

One of the two men sentenced to death was tried in absentia. Two other defendants were given life jail terms.
