Cairo - Egypt's government has approved President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi's proposal to extend a national state of emergency for an additional three months, the cabinet said in a statement on Thursday.

Parliament unanimously approved a three-month state of emergency in April, broadening the power of authorities as an attempt to crack down on terrorists, especially after the killing of at least 45 people in two church bombings. 

El-Sisi declared a three-month state of emergency after two blasts rocked Coptic churches in Alexandria and the Nile Delta city of Tanta during the celebrations of Palm Sunday in April.
