Iran condemns terrorist attacks in France, Afghanistan, Egypt

Sympathizing with the families of the victims, the spokesman said, 'The wide geographical scope of the incidents indicates that terrorism is a global problem which requires global solutions.'

The only way to get rid of this global threat is to uproot the ideological and financial resources of terrorism, Qasemi said.

In a terrorist attack on Friday, a gunman killed three people and wounded 16 others when he stole a car, fired at police officers and took hostages in a supermarket in Trèbes, south of France.

In another terrorist attack on the same day, a car bomb explosion near a sport facility in southern Afghanistan killed at least 15, leaving more than 50 others injured.

This is while Egyptian media said that a powerful explosion rocked the city of Alexandria in the north central part of the country on Saturday.

The explosion took place two days ahead of Egypt's presidential elections.
