CAIRO—More than two dozen militants carried out the attack on a Sufi-linked mosque in the restive Sinai Peninsula that has killed at least 305 people, Egypt’s public prosecutor said Saturday, revealing new details about the deadliest assault in the country’s modern history. Between 25 and 30 militants waving the Islamic State flag and armed with explosives and machine guns attacked during Friday prayers the Al Rawda mosque in Ber al Abd, which lies west of the city of Al Arish, according to the public prosecutor’s statement.
