Sofia, December 11 (BTA) - Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev Sunday sent a letter of condolence to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in connection with a bombing at a chapel adjacent to Egypt's main Coptic Christian cathedral, which killed 25 people and wounded another 49 during Sunday Mass.

On behalf of the Bulgarian people and on his own behalf, the head of State expressed condolences to the bereaved, his Press Secretariat said.
