President of the Evangelical Church Rev. Andrea Zaki on Thursday slammed the failed terrorist attack that targeted the Karnak Templ in Luxor.

He deplored such terror acts aimed at intimidating tourists and striking a severe blow to the Egyptian tourism industry.

In a statement, Zaki hailed the vigilance and performance of the security forces in aborting the terror attack at the temple.

He asserted that these coward attacks will not prevent Egyptians from going ahead with establishing its modern, democratic and civil state and will not weaken the will of the Egyptian leadership, police and army in wiping out terrorism.
