Eiffel Tower goes dark to mourn victims of Arish attack

CAIRO – 24 November 2017: Lights of Paris-based Eiffel Tower were turned off in solidarity with Egypt to mourn the fallen victims of the Arish attack.

The world has come out in support of Egypt’s bitter, prolonged war against terrorism and extremist terror attacks within the country. Most recently, the brutal attack that targeted Friday prayer congregates in Arish’s Rawdah mosque which killed over two hundred and injured dozens on Friday, November 24.

A group of 15 armed terrorists broke into Al-Rawdah mosque in Arish City, leaving at least 235 dead and 125 injured.

According to eye witnesses, the terrorists came out initially riding two all-terrain vehicles which they ditched 150 meters away from the crime scene. They detonated a bomb outside the mosque, and then opened fire at panicked Friday prayers congregants.
