Al-Azhar Sheikh Slams Mali Terrorist Attack
El-Tayyeb underlined that such despicable acts of terrorism have nothing to do with Islam, the al-Wafd website reported.
He also called for integrated efforts to fight against terrorist groups.
On Friday morning, gunmen stormed the Radisson Blu hotel in Mali’s capital, Bamako, taking hostage 170 people, many of them foreign guests.
The attack began about 7 a.m., when two or three attackers carrying AK-47 rifles got off at least one vehicle with diplomatic plates and entered the hotel while firing their guns.
The assault finally ended, but left at least 27 people dead and six others injured.
According to an agency used by terrorists in the region, the Al-Qaeda terrorist group and its offshoot al-Murabitoun carried out the attack.
It happened one week after a series of terrorist attacks by Daesh terrorists left 130 dead and 352 others injured in Paris, France.
