CAIRO, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Egypt has strongly condemned the terrorist attack that took place in London on Friday, leaving at least 22 persons wounded.

"Egypt asserted its solidarity with the British government and people in war against terrorism," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

"The accident asserted the importance of mobilizing all the international efforts to uproot terrorism," the statement added.

A bomb detonated on a packed London underground train during the morning rush hour on Friday in what police are treating as a "terrorist incident."

The incident created chaos in the area as the subway service was shut down and police stopped people from getting close.

The blast took place after three deadly attacks hit areas of London this year, including Westminster Bridge, London Bridge and Finsbury Park, and one hit at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.
