CAIRO, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- Egypt condemned on Saturday a bomb attack targeting a Colombian police academy which left at least 21 people dead.

Cairo offered its deepest condolences to the victims' families and wished the injured a speedy recovery, said a statement by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.

Cairo rejects all forms of violence, extremism and terrorism, reiterating its call for pooling international anti-terrorism efforts to eliminate this phenomenon wherever it exists, the ministry statement added.
