An Egyptian woman holds a placard with Arabic inscription reading 'We are consoled as retribution began' to denounce the killing of Egyptian Christians in Libya, outside the Coptic Cathedral of Saint Marcos, in Cairo, Egypt, 16 February 2015. An Islamic State video released on 15 February claimed to show the extremist group beheading 21 Egyptian Christians abducted in Libya more than a month ago. The Egyptian army responded on 16 February by an airstrike against the militants targeting bases and weapons storage facilities in Libya. Photo by Amr Sayed
