In a statement released on social media, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi said that “today” terrorism had taken the lives of “a number of our sons…who sacrificed their lives for their homeland”. “The cancer of terrorism continues to try to steal this country, but we stand firm, fighting it with all our strength and faith,” said a message released by President Sisi on Twitter. “I would like to emphasize that our fight against terrorism has not and will not end without the people’s determination to eradicate all of its kinds – whether it is terrorism of the minds or souls.” President Sisi’s statements imply the deaths of Egyptian security personnel occurred on Friday 27 September, although this could not be immediately confirmed. سلامٌ على كل من روى بدمائه الزكية تراب هذا الوطن العظيم، اليوم…
