More than 184 dead and scores more injured in terror attack on mosque in Egypt's North Sinai

At least 184 people were killed and 125 more wounded on Friday when Islamist militants set off a bomb and opened fire on people attending prayers at a mosque in Egypt's restive northern Sinai, state media said.

No group claimed responsibility for the terror attack, but it was the deadliest yet in the region where for three years Egyptian security forces have battled an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) insurgency that has killed hundreds of police and soldiers.

State media showed images of bloodied victims and bodies covered in blankets inside the Al Rawdah mosque in Bir al-Abed, west of the city of El Arish.

"They were shooting at people as they left the mosque," a local resident whose relatives were at the scene told Reuters. "They were shooting at the ambulances too."

Arabiya news channel and some local sources said some of the worshippers were sufis who hardliners such as Isil regard as apostates because they revere saints and shrines, which for Islamists is tantamount to idolatry.

Although he was correct about the Eiffel Tower – it was not lit up in Egypt’s colors.

Over 300 dead now.

Madness. Apparently ISIS doesn't approve of the way these people worship their prophet.

Another terrible terrorist attack by evil bastards!


But we don't hear Gallawank complaining when Christians are routinely being attacked in Egypt...


In fact... you don't even hear it being reported on the news very often either...!
