Lebanese president cables Sisi, denounces Sinai mosque attack

BEIRUT - 25 November 2017: Lebanese President Michel Aoun on Friday sent a cable to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to sternly deplore the heinous terrorist attack on Al Rawda mosque in North Sinai that left scores dead and wounded, the Lebanese news agency reported.

Aoun extended his sincere condolences to the families of the victims, wishing the wounded a speedy recovery.

He reiterated Lebanon's stand beside Egypt, its leadership and people, in the fight against terrorism and the need to eradicate it wherever it exists.

"This cowardly act against citizens who were at a worship place proves beyond doubts that terrorism denies all heavenly religions, and it only believes in criminality and murder," Aoun said.
