Despite losing territory in recent months the terrorist group has maintained a network of terrorist cells in the country.
Coptic Christians were travelling on a bus to a monastery 120 miles south of Cairo.
The jihadist group's Amaq news agency claimed in a statement that its fighters 'set up a checkpoint' for the Christians as they headed to the monastery, shooting at them and setting one of their vehicles on fire.
