Saudi Arabia's powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said on Sunday an attack on an Egyptian mosque that killed more than 300 worshippers would galvanise an Islamic military coalition that aimed to counter "terrorism and extremism". MbS, as the crown prince is widely known, vowed to "pursue terrorists until they are wiped from the face of the earth."
Top defense officials from 40 Muslim-majority nation's met in Riyadh on Sunday. They are part of an alliance gathered together two years ago by Prince Mohammed, who is also Saudi defence minister.
