CAIRO: Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry told his US counterpart Rex Tillerson that jihadists who attacked a Christian convoy had trained in Libyan militant camps, a statement said Saturday.
Egypt carried out a number of air strikes on Islamist militant targets in Libya on Friday after jihadists shot dead 29 people heading in buses to a monastery south of Cairo.
Shoukry said "there was enough information and evidence of the terrorist elements involved in the (attack) having trained in these camps", a foreign ministry statement said.
