The militants who attacked a mosque in Egypt on Friday were wearing military uniforms and arrived to the building in SUVs, Egyptian officials said. More than two dozen assailants—one of whom was carrying an ISIS flag, according to a state prosecutor—detonated explosives and positioned themselves at each entrance, shooting at innocents as they tried to flee. More than 300 people were killed and 128 were injured, according to officials. No terror group has claimed responsibility yet for the attack.
