In Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood Condemn Attack In Cairo

The Muslim Brotherhood has condemned yesterday's attack in Cairo near the Al-Azhar mosque, in which a French tourist was killed and dozens were wounded.

Muslim Brotherhood General Guide Muhammad Mahdi 'Akef said that the attack was counter to Islam, which advocates struggling for rule in peaceful ways and in accordance with the law.

Senior Muslim Brotherhood official Isam Al-Aryan accused foreign intelligence elements for the attack.
