Suspected militants target mosque with bomb, gunfire in Egypt's north Sinai - witnesses
CAIRO, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Suspected militants set off a bomb and opened fire at a mosque in Egypt's restive northern Sinai on Friday, targeting supporters of the security forces attending prayers there, two eyewitnesses and a security source said.
No casualty figures were immediately available from the attack on Al Rawdah mosque in Bir al-Abed, west of Arish city, but eyewitnesses reported ambulances ferrying wounded from the scene to nearby hospitals.
