CAIRO, July 31 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian Foreign Ministry on Monday condemned a terrorist attack in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, which killed six people and wounded 20 others.

In a press statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry renewed calls for the international community to counter terrorism and dry up terror funds.

Egypt also expressed full support for the Somali government's efforts to achieve stability in the country and to rebuild its institutions.

On Sunday, a car loaded with explosives went off in a busy street in Mogadishu, leaving six civilians dead and 20 others injured.

No group has claimed responsible for the blast, but Al-Shabaab insurgents have carried out a string of car bomb attacks in recent months.

Meanwhile, Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit condemned the terror attack in Mogadishu, reiterating the need to support the Somali's security apparatuses in their fight against terrorism.

He also urged the international community to double their backing for the Somali government in order to reconstruct its foundations.
