Turkey has announced that Monday will be a day of national mourning in the wake of last week's deadly terrorist attack in Egypt, Anadolu reported.

Flags will fly at half-mast at Turkish representations in the country and abroad, authorities announced Sunday.

On Friday over 300 people were killed and scores injured when attackers bombed a mosque in the town of Bir al-Abed, in the northern Sinai, and then opened fire on fleeing worshipers.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, the deadliest in modern Egyptian memory.
