On Thursday, the Speaker of Egyptian Parliament, Dr. Ali Abdel Aal, condemned the attack that rocked the airport in Yemen's port city of Aden soon after a plane carrying the new government arrived from Saudi Arabia.

In a message sent to the the Yemeni Parliament's Speaker Saeed Sultan Saeed Al-Barakani, Abdel Aal reaffirmed his position to support Yemen in its struggle to restore security and stability, achieve the aspirations of the Yemeni people, and confront all forms of terrorism and its supporters.

He also described the blast as a coward terrorist attack that aimed at sabotaging the political agreement recently reached under the auspices of Riyadh.

"Those behind the attack do not want good for Yemen and its people, and seek to prolong the chaos and the sufferings of the citizens," he added.

the Parliament speaker also expressed solidarity with the Yemeni government and people, offered his condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery for the injured.

Three massive explosions rocked the Aden International Airport in southern Yemen on Wednesday minutes after a plane carrying the new power-sharing government members from Saudi Arabia landed at the airport, killing at least 20 people.
