Sinai Bomb Attack Denounced

The foreign ministry has strongly denounced a bomb attack at a military checkpoint in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on Friday which killed at least 31 Egyptian soldiers, saying Israel benefits from insecurity in the North African country. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham sympathized with the families of the victims of the terrorist act, stressing that the Israeli regime takes advantage from weakening and causing insecurity in the Egyptian society, Press TV reported. Iran hopes that the Egyptian nation and the leaders of the country “maintain their national and revolutionary unity” and “prevent the Zionist regime’s acts from instigating sedition among the Egyptian people,” Afkham added.
