At the request of Senator Singh, I move:
That the Senate—
(a) condemns the appalling and cowardly attack on worshippers in the al Rawdah Mosque in Egypt's Northern Sinai region;
(b) extends its sympathy and support to the families of the 305 victims, including 27 children, who were killed in the attack while they were attending prayers, the 128 people who were wounded, and the Egyptian people; and
(c) stands with all people of goodwill in complete rejection of those who try to use terror and violence to destroy peace.
Question agreed to.
