The U.A.E. strongly condemned the terrorist, atrocious attack committed by criminal elements in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula Friday and emphasised its full support for sisterly Egypt and its Armed Forces.
'This cowardly act and heinous crime underscore once again the need for joint serious action and mobilisation of collective efforts at all levels to confront the menace of terrorism at regional and international levels,' the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement yesterday.
The statement added that this crime reaffirms that terrorism has only one goal and the method of terrorist groups, regardless of their forms, seeks to defile human values. This method, the statement said, contravenes all national and religious values and principles and only seeks to trigger chaos and spread destruction.
