[h=1]Attack on mosque in Egypt's Sinai kills at least 235[/h]
What depravity, all in the name of religion.
[FONT="]Cairo (AFP) - Attackers killed at least 235 worshippers Friday in a bomb and gun assault on a packed mosque in Egypt's restive North Sinai province, in the country's deadliest attack in recent memory.[/FONT]
[FONT="]A bomb explosion ripped through the Rawda mosque, roughly 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of the North Sinai capital of El-Arish, before gunmen opened fire on the Sufi worshippers gathered there for weekly Friday prayers, officials said.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Witnesses said the assailants surrounded the mosque with all-terrain vehicles and then planted a bomb outside.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The gunmen then mowed down the panicked worshippers as they tried to flee and used congregants' vehicles they had set alight to block routes to the mosque.[/FONT]
