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.
