Egyptian legislative and religious institutions condemned on Tuesday the deadly bombing in the St. Petersburg metro station in Russia, which killed 14 civilians and injured others. The Egyptian parliament condemned the attack and parliament speaker Ali Abdul Aal presented his condolences to the families the victims. The Egyptian religious authority Dar Al-Ifta said that the attack should lead to a further intensification of the global efforts to combat terrorism. “The Islamic world stands in solidarity with the families of victims and injured against these acts—as it [the Islamic world] is greatly affected by it,” the statement said, declaring its support for Russia. Al-Azhar followed the same line of condemning the attack and asserted that no religion is responsible for the attacks.
