France has condemned the recent terrorist attack in North Sinai which killed 15 policemen and offered condolences to the families of the victims.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Roman Nadal said in a statement Monday that his country renews sympathy with Egypt, its government and people in their fight against terrorism.

The attack, which occurred on Saturday, was a result of the mortal shell that fell on the Safa checkpoint in Arish and followed by an exchange of fire between policemen and gunmen.
