Egypt’s military says warplanes have struck several vehicles used in the attack on a northern Sinai mosque that killed 305 people, destroying and killing all passengers.
The military’s Saturday statement said the vehicles were hit in the vicinity of the previous day’s attack on a mosque in the Sinai town of Bir al-Abd, the deadliest by extremists in Egypt’s modern history.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the extremist ISIL group has in the past vowed to rid Sinai, and Egypt, of Sufis. A local ISIL affiliate is spearheading the insurgency in Sinai, where government forces have battled militants for years.
