The EU Tuesday condemned the beheading of eight Bedouins by terrorists in the Northern Sinai region of Egypt as "a demonstration of their denial to dignity and human life.
"Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and the people of Egypt," said Catherine Ray, spokesperson for EU High Representative Federica Mogherini, in a statement.
She underlined that the EU stands by Egypt and all countries exposed to terrorism and is determined to work with its regional and international partners to tackle this common challenge that endangers lives and threatens global stability.
