Tinley Park Man Among Victims of ISIS Bus Attack in Egypt

TINLEY PARK, IL - A Tinley Park man and several of his family members were among the 26 victims of an ISIS attack on a bus of Christians in Egypt on Friday, ABC-7 Chicago reports.

Mohsen Morkous and his family were traveling to Egypt with other Coptic Christians headed to a religious site when an ISIS gunman forced all the men on the bus to get on the ground and switch their religion from Christian to Muslim, a relative told ABC. When the men refused to change religions, they were killed.

Morkous' two sons, a grandchild and other family members were also killed in the attack. His wife, Samia Ibrahim of Tinley Park, survived and is recovering at a hospital in Egypt.
