The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman on Saturday denounced Friday's Wahat terrorist attack that left several policemen dead and wounded.

UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar bin Mohamed Qarqash underlined his country's support and solidarity with efforts of the Egyptian government for fighting terrorism.

This terrorist crime will not sap the determination of the Egyptian people for uprooting terrorism, he added, in statements to the UAE news agency (WAM).

Also, Oman condemned the terrorist attack, according to the Omani news agency.

Oman is siding with Egypt until ending the scourge of terrorism, the agency quoted an Omani Foreign Ministry statement as having said.
