TRIPOLI, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Libya's UN-backed prime minister, Fayez Serraj, on Friday condemned the terrorist attack on a mosque in northern Egyptian Sinai that killed hundreds of people.
"Prime Minister, Fayez Serraj, strongly condemns the cowardly treacherous terrorist attack on Al-Rawda mosque in northern Sinai on Friday," Serraj said in a statement.
"This terrible crime against a house of God can only be carried out by those who have no human or religious morals," the statement added.
Serraj expressed condolences to the Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, the Egyptian government, people and families of the victims, stressing that "the Libyan people stand by their Egyptian brothers in these critical times," the statement added.
An attack on Friday on a mosque in Egypt's North Sinai province killed 235 people and injured 109 others so far.
Egypt is suffering a wave of terrorist attacks, mostly centered in Sinai where militants have killed hundreds of police and soldiers since the army-led ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
