Egypt today (November 24, 2017) suffered its worst terrorist attack in its history -- which occurred at a mosque in Northern Sinai Province -- according to the Euro News website.
Reports say at least 235 worshippers were killed and another 109 wounded during Friday prayers at the mosque in Bir al-Abed town.
The terrorists set off explosions and around 40 gunmen then shot at worshippers as they fled the mosque, and when ambulances arrived to treat the wounded they shot at them as well.
President al-Sisi declared three days of mourning and addressed the nation. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the attackers brandished an Islamic State flag when they opened fire.
