RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Brazil condemned the deadly terrorist attack in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and conveyed condolences to Egypt, said the Brazilian government in an official statement Friday.
"As it expresses its condolences to the families of the victims, its wishes for the prompt recuperation of the injured and its solidarity with the people and government of Egypt, Brazil reiterates vehemently its repudiation to all and any acts of terrorism, regardless of their motivation," said the Brazilian government.
The country's Foreign Ministry said there has been no news of Brazilian citizens being among the 235 victims registered so far. The Brazilian embassy in Cairo is ready to offer all sorts of assistance for Brazilians currently in Egypt.
Earlier on Friday, gunmen broke into a mosque west of the city of Arish in the north of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, set off an explosive device and shot those running out. So far, the attack has killed 235 people and injured at least 109 others.
