The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia strongly deplores and condemns the cowardly terrorist bombings in the Arab Republic of Egypt, which claimed the lives of many innocent people, an official source said. "These bombings, which target the security and stability in Egypt and desperately attempt to break up Egypt's national unity, were carried out by a criminal group endeavoring to confiscate the Egyptian people's will and to tamper with Egypt's capabilities, the source added. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia renews its stand by Egypt, and is totally confident that the Egyptian government and people are able to strike terrorism with an iron fist and to put an end to these criminal acts which have no relevance to Islam, the source said. The source expressed sincere condolences to the Egyptian government and the families of the victims, praying to Allah Almighty to bless the injured a speedy recovery.
