UN chief condemns latest Egypt terrorist attack
In a statement issued this afternoon by the United Nations spokesperson's office, the Secretary-General deplored the series of attacks committed earlier on Wednesdayin Egypt's Sinai Peninsula resulting in the deaths of over 70 Egyptian soldiers and the injury of many others and conveyed his condolences to the families of the victims and to the Government of Egypt.
“The United Nations stands firm with the people of Egypt in their fight against terrorism,” Ban's spokesperson added.
Today's attack comes just days after a bombing rattled the Cairo suburb of Heliopolis killing the Egyptian Prosecutor General Hisham Barakat and injuring at least eight others.
According to initial reports, the two incidents do not appear to be related.
