At least 184 people were killed Friday when militants attacked a mosque in Egypt’s North Sinai region, state media reported.

At least 125 people were injured, the official MENA news agency said. The local Islamic State affiliate — Sinai Province — appeared to be responsible, the Associated Press reported.

Police said extemists in four off-road vehicles bombed the mosque and fired on worshippers during a sermon at the al-Rawdah mosque in the town of Bir al-Abd, located 25 miles from the regional capital of el-Arish.

The militants stopped people from escaping by blowing up cars and leaving the burning wrecks blocking the roads, police told the AP........... ...............................
