Hisham Barakat
Jeddah (IINA) – The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned in the strongest terms the assassination of Egypt’s state prosecutor Hisham Barakat and a number of his security guards on Monday, describing the murder as a terrorist act targeting Egypt’s security and stability.
OIC Secretary General Iyad Madani said committing such a crime during the holy month of Ramadan is an act premeditated to smear Islam, Muslims and Muslim societies.
Madani reiterated OIC’s firm stand in combating terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. He stressed the necessity to consolidate the efforts of the member states to strengthen joint cooperation in combating terrorism and to identify its root causes at the political, economic, social and intellectual fronts.
The secretary general conveyed his condolences to the government of Egypt and the family of the deceased and wished speedy recovery for the injured.
