KHARTOUM, June 3 (Xinhua) -- Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir on Saturday condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Egypt, describing them as a conspiracy that should be confronted, official SUNA news agency reported.

"The terrorist acts which witnessed by Egypt do not target the Coptic group only but Egypt as a key country and the Egyptian community," said al-Bashir when addressing Saturday the annual fast breaking organized by the Coptic sect in Sudan.

He further reiterated that what has happened in Egypt is not relating to Islam or any of the human religions.

The president expressed condolences to the Egyptian people generally, and to the Coptic group particularly.

The last attack against the Copts in Egypt took place on May 26 against a bus carrying Coptic Christians in Egypt's Minya Province, which left at least 30 people dead.

The attack followed a series of church bombings claimed by Islamic State in a wave of violence against Copts.
