Egypt denounces the militant attack carried out on Monday against the Iraqi embassy in Kabul, where one Afghani soldier was injured, the Egyptian foreign ministry said in a statement. The ministry expressed Egypt's solidarity with the Iraqi government and people, adding that that attack took place after the recent victories by the Iraqi army against the militant group Daesh. On Monday, a suicide bomber detonated explosives at the gate of the Iraqi embassy in Kabul, after which three gunmen stormed the building and engaged in a four-hour firefight with Afghani security forces. All the militants were killed in the shootout and none of the embassy staff was harmed, according to Afghani official statements. Daesh has claimed responsibility for the attack.
