FM: Egypt keen to uproot terrorism

Cairo – Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said on Wednesday that recent terrorist attacks in Egypt will only add to Egypt's determination to uproot terrorism.
At a meeting of the House Arab Affairs Committee, he noted that Egypt has a clear vision on this score for three years now, and is working to apply it.
He underlined the necessity that the international community should cooperate for standing up to terrorism.
A day after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi ordered a state of emergency following two deadly church bombings, militants in the Sinai Peninsula fired a rocket into Israel on Monday, casting doubt on the president’s ability to counter a growing Islamist insurgency.

Sisi, rose to power four years ago on promises to confront extremists and secure the country and its economy after the overthrow of Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.
