“Dr Ismail Serageldin, Director of the BA, and the BA staff express their heartfelt condolences to the families of the martyrs and their solidarity with the wounded victims of the terrorist attack on Al Boutroseya Church in Abbassia, Cairo,” the library posted on its website earlier on Monday.

“The BA administration has declared three days of mourning, and all BA activities will be suspended during this period.

“God save Egypt,” it concluded.
