Pakistan condemns henious terrorist attack in Egypt's Sinai

 

The Government and people of Pakistan extend deepest condolences to the bereaved families. We pray for the early recovery of those injured in the attack, according to a press statement issued by Pakistani Embassy in Cairo. 

 

"Pakistan condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations," read the statement, adding "We also reaffirm our solidarity with the brotherly people of Egypt."

 

Many countries have voiced their denouncement to the deadly attack that killed Egyptian military personnel in Sinai. 

 

On Saturday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said that terrorist attacks will not undermine the determination of people and the army to uproot terrorism.

The president’s remarks came shortly after the army spokesman said on Saturday that the military foiled an attack by a group of takfiri elements on a water lift station east of the Suez Canal, noting that the confrontation left 11 military personnel killed.

“The loyal sons of the homeland are still responding to the call of the nation with full courage and sacrifice, continuing unique self-denial and a belief in the doctrine of safeguarding the homeland, which would not be shaken,” Sisi wrote in a Facebook post.

The president extended sincere condolences to the great Egyptian people, armed forces and the families of the martyrs, wishing the injured people a speedy recovery.
