The Jordanian government has strongly condemned a terrorist attack on a security checkpoint in Giza's El Badrasheen district, which left five policemen dead.

In a statement on Friday, Minister of State for Media Affairs Mohammad Al Momani affirmed his country's full solidarity with Egypt in countering terrorism.

He added that such terror acts require concerted efforts by the international community and regional parties to eradicate terrorism that claimed the lives of innocent people.

Momani also offered Jordan's warm condolences to the Egyptian government, people and the families of martyrs.
