Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim condemned Thursday the terrorist acts that Egypt is undergoing, the latest being the Nasr City bombing.
A bomb exploded on Thursday morning near the girls' campus of Al-Azhar University in Nasr City, injuring five people, at least one of whom is in serious condition.
“This shows the nature of these terrorist groups and their disgusting goals,” said Ibrahim. “The ministry will not ease its crackdown on terrorist groups that aim to intimidate citizens in order to hinder the roadmap.”
Ibrahim also said that police will step up security, and special teams have been instructed to look for explosives near crowded areas on main streets, such as schools and universities, in coordination with the Armed Forces.
“The Ministry of Interior will stand up to demonstrations that are staged by the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood members,” added Ibrahim. “These demonstrations now violate the law.”
