Terrorist attack in Egypt during Jumma prayer, 200 killed, 125 wounded

Egypt's northern Sinai area was hit by a terrorist attack. On Friday there was a fierce attack on a mosque during Jumma prayer. 200 people have been killed in the attack. Number 125 of the injured are being told. The number of deaths is expected to increase. About 50 ambulances were sent to the hospital to take the injured to the hospital. The government has announced a three-day national mourning.

It is being told that this bomb was placed near the Al Rowda Mosque of the city of Al-Rish, which burst during Namaz. According to a news agency gunmen riding in four vehicles also opened fire on people fleeing the spot.

No organization has taken responsibility for this attack so far. The Egyptian government has announced a three-day national mourning. President Abdul Fatah al-QC will hold an emergency meeting with officials to discuss the incident.

There have been many attacks since January, 2011 in northern Sinai, Egypt. President Hosni Mubarak's regime went away in January 2011. After the ouster of Mohammad Morsi from the presidency in 2013, the attackers targeted the police and the army in northern Sinai. More than 700 security personnel have been killed since then.
