The statement also conveyed condolences to “the bereaved families and the entire Egyptian nation”.
On Sunday, at least 21 people were killed when a bomb struck a church inside the St. George Church in the Nile Delta city of Tanta in northern Egypt.
Meanwhile, hours later, nine people were killed in a second church bombing outside St. Mark’s Cathedral in the coastal city of Alexandria, an Egyptian security source said.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombings.
