Egypt condemned on Friday the terrorist attack that targeted a mosque in Afghanistan’s Kunduz province, leaving scores of worshippers dead and injured.
In a statement, the Foreign Ministry offered Egypt’s sincere condolences to the Afghan people and the families of the victims of this terrorist attack, wishing the injured a speedy recovery.
It also renewed Egypt’s solidarity to face the phenomena of terrorism, violence and extremism in all their forms.
The so-called Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing at a Shiite Muslim mosque in northern Afghanistan that killed at least 46 people and wounded dozens.
The claim, carried by the IS-linked Aamaq news agency and cited by the Site Intelligence Group – which monitors militant postings, came just hours after the blast tore through the packed mosque in the city of Kunduz.
