[Pop. 67,273,906 Muslim 94% Arabic (Egyptian, Bedouin, Berber)]

"I am following closely with shock and dismay the horrible news about the vicious attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and other United States federal buildings early this morning.
Egypt unequivocally condemns such attacks on American civilians and military men and women, which resulted in loss of many innocent lives. I would like to extend to you as well as to the families of all the victims of those acts of terror my sincere condolences of the Government and people of the Arab Republic of Egypt, and to express to you my readiness to present any kind of assistance you may require at these difficult moments."

Official letter by President Hosny Mubarak to President Bush online at the site of the Egyptian Embassy in Washington http://www.embassyofegyptwashingtondc.org/1.htm#update
