NEW DELHI, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strongly condemned the "barbaric" terror attack on a mosque in Egypt that killed 235 people and injured over 100 others.

"Strongly condemn the barbaric terrorist attack on a place of worship in Egypt. Our deep condolences at the loss of innocent lives," Modi tweeted Friday night.

The prime minister has also expressed India's support to Egypt.

"India resolutely supports the fight against all forms of terrorism and stands with the people as well as Government of Egypt," he added.

The al-Rawda mosque in the town of Bir al-Abed in Egypt's restive North Sinai region was first bombed and fleeing worshippers were then gunned down by terrorists during Friday prayers.
