The White House predicted defeat of the «global scourge» of terrorism after deadly bombings in Egypt that had U.S. officials on Saturday urging a united front from «all of us in the civilized world.» The car bombs and another blast ripped through a luxury hotel and a coffee shop in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheik early Saturday, killing scores of people from several nations. The bombings, the deadliest terrorist attack in Egypt's history, came just two days after a second series of strikes in London. White House press secretary Scott McClellan said the U.S. was ready to help the victims and assist Egypt in bringing the bombers to justice, AP reported. «The United States stands firmly with the people of Egypt at this time of national mourning,» McClellan said in a statement. «Standing together with the rest of the civilized world, we will win the conflict against this global scourge.» President George W. Bush, who is at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, spoke with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Saturday morning to offer his personal condolences and the support of the American people.
