TUNIS, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Tunisian presidency said on Friday that it strongly condemned the bloody attack on a mosque in Egypt's North Sinai, which killed at least 235 people.

Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi sent a message of condolence on Friday evening to his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, it said.

In his message, Essebsi expressed his solidarity and compassion with the Egyptian president and people, calling the attack a "cowardly terrorist" one.

"We are convinced that the Egyptian people will win their fight against terrorism and will be able to guarantee its prosperity and stability that we see as the guarantor of stability of the entire region," he said.

"Tunisia is fully committed to the Egyptian side in this painful circumstance, especially as we support all measures from the Egyptian authorities to ensure the safety of citizens," the president added.
