CANBERRA, April 25 (Xinhua) -- Australian Prime Minister John Howard on
Tuesday condemned the triple terror attacks in Egypt, describing them as
"inexcusable."
Three explosions rocked Red Sea resort of Dahab in Sinai Peninsula on
Monday evening, killing at least 30 and wounding morethan 100, including two
Australians.
"I want to join others in unreservedly condemning what is obviously another
terrorist attack," Howard told reporters.
"It has indiscriminately claimed many lives, both of Egyptians and also
foreigners," he said.
"It is plainly another inexcusable terrorist attack which deserves
universal condemnation," he said.
"It is a reminder to nations, Islamic and non-Islamic, all nations, that
terrorism doesn't respect national identity," said the prime minister.
"It doesn't respect religion. It doesn't respect national borders and it
plainly doesn't respect human life and the nature of the challenge remains
immense," he said.
The Australian government has reviewed and reissued its travel advisory to Egypt, advising Australians to exercise "high degree of caution" in the Middle East country. Enditem |
