Egyptian blasts

The loss of 88 lives in Egypt by terrorists is not humanity. Those who did that awful act are enemy of humanity. The carnage here and there done by them is a sign that some are gone out of their minds and their masterminds must be caught for severe punishment. My heart goes with the families of those who lost their loved ones.
