CAIRO (Reuters) - Gunmen who attacked a mosque on Friday in Egypt’s North Sinai brandished an Islamic State flag as they opened fire through doorways and windows, killing more than 300 worshippers, including two dozen children, officials said on Saturday.

No group has claimed responsibility, but Egyptian forces are battling a stubborn Islamic State affiliate in the region, one of the surviving branches of the militant group after it suffered defeats by U.S.-backed forces in Iraq and Syria.

The assault on a mosque has stunned Egyptians, prompting President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s government to tighten security at places of worship and key buildings, and call three days of mourning for the bloodiest attack in Egypt’s modern history.

Sinai is another failure of the west and its small minded approach to the region.

This area is full of weapons that was given freely to overthrow Ghadaffi.

Libya on the other hand is now a slave trading stop

Yes, the weapons came from US, Britain, Canada etc.

Plus the propping up of the puppet Sisi.

Unfortunately, much worse is yet to come.

So I am right, the ME people are brainless to allow the West convince them to kill each other.

They didnt convince any one about anything, they just stupid to give weapons out freely and thinking it will not have negative consequences.

The facts are there to see...but if you feel better to see people slaughtered in a mosque by others who look just like them, but prefer to blame the  west, then go ahead. It would be difficult to convince you otherwise, just like it would be difficult to convince the killers about the error of their ways

How does me stating a fact that most of the weapons came from the Libyan campaign (supplied by the west) equates to my support for these idiots.

 

I also state the fact that things in Egypt will get worse because of the political and economic climate.  How do you equate this with me wanting to see more killings.
