Death toll in Egypt up to 305; attackers carried ISIS flags
The militants who carried out an attack during Friday prayers at a mosque in Egypt's Sinai peninsula were carrying ISIS flags, the country's chief prosecutor, Nabil Sadeq, said Saturday.
Sadeq also said that the death toll has risen to 305 worshipers, including 27 children -- a dramatic increase from the previously announced 235 fatalities. Another 128 were injured, he added.
The attack was carried out by 25-30 militants who arrived at the mosque in five all-terrain vehicles, Sadeq said.
They also torched seven cars belonging to the worshipers that were parked outside, he added.
