Morocco strongly condemns church terrorist attacks in Egypt

Xinhua, April 10, 2017 Adjust font size:

Morocco strongly condemned the terrorist attacks that targeted on Sunday two churches in the Egyptian cities of Tanta and Alexandria.

"Terrorism unveils once again its atrocious and criminal face rejected by all religions," Morocco's foreign ministry said in a statement, stressing that the perpetrators of these "ignoble" acts are "infidels who have no connection with the holy Islamic religion and its tolerant principles."

The ministry also offered its condolences to the grieving families and Egyptian people and reiterated its full solidarity with Egypt in countering terrorism.

The twin bomb attacks killed at least 44 people and injured over 120 others, according to local media. Endit
