CAIRO, July 13 (Xinhua) -- Egypt condemns the recent terrorist attack in Cameroon that killed at least 14 people and wounded 30 others, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

"Egypt's government and people stand in solidarity with the government and people of Cameroon against sinful terrorism," said the statement, urging the international community to intensify collective efforts to combat "the phenomenon of terrorism" and uproot its sources of finance.

Earlier on Wednesday evening, a deadly suicide bombing rocked northeast Cameroon, killing at least 14 and injuring 30 others. Boko Haram terrorist group is suspected to be behind the attack.

Egypt itself is facing a rising wave of terrorism that killed hundreds of police and military men since the army removed former Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.

Most of terror attacks in Egypt have been claimed by a Sinai-based group loyal to the Islamic State (IS) regional terrorist group.
