(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The EU Saturday condemned the attack in front of the Italian consulate in Cairo and underlined its support to Egypt in the fight against terrorism.
"Once again Egypt is under attack, once again Europeans have been hit by terrorists. The attack, which killed at least one and wounded many others in front of the Italian consulate in Cairo during the holy month of Ramadan, is another attempt to defy the Egyptian and European resolve to fight terrorism," said EU High Representative Federica Mogherini in a statement.
"My thoughts go to the families of the victims, to the Egyptian and Italian authorities and people. We will remain united in facing the common threat of terrorism," said Mogherini, a former Italian foreign minister.
She added that the EU stands by the Egyptian authorities in their efforts to fight terrorism and bring the perpetrators of this attack to justice.
