Egypt and Jordan have called for concerted international efforts to fight terrorist organisations and weaken their sources of support in the wake of Saturday's (June 3rd) attacks in London that killed at least seven people and injured 48.
"Egypt renews its call to all countries of the world to unify against the phenomenon of terrorism, and those who back terrorist organisations with support, finance and arms," the Egyptian foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
The ministry condemned in the "strongest terms" the two terrorist incidents at London Bridge and Borough Market, Ahram Online reported.
Three assailants drove a van into pedestrians at high speed on London Bridge on Saturday night before stabbing revellers on nearby streets, in attacks claimed by the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS).
Police shot dead the three male assailants in the Borough Market area near the London Bridge within eight minutes of receiving the first emergency call shortly after 10 p.m. local time.
Jordanian Minister of State for Media Affairs and government spokesman Mohammad Momani also condemned the attacks, saying they are "a crime against humanity and reveal the monstrous ways of criminal groups that aim to make countries unsafe and unstable", the Jordanian News Agency, Petra, reported.
Momani said that Jordan stands by the UK in facing terrorist groups, calling for unifying international efforts to combat terrorism.
