"Militants killed 184 people at a mosque in Egypt’s north Sinai region on Friday, detonating a bomb and shooting at fleeing worshippers and ambulances, state media and witnesses said.

 

'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 Islamic State regard as apostates because they revere saints and shrines, which for Islamists is tantamount to idolatry."

 

Absolutely disgusting. Cannot describe how awful such a situation is. Shooting at hundreds of innocent people after they finish praying to the same god is the most despicable thing one could possibly do.
