The Muslim Council of Elders strongly condemns the terrorist attack that targeted civilian facilities in the Capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi which led to three civilian casualties as well as several injuries. 

Under the Chairmanship of His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar and its distinguished members as well as its Secretary General, the Council affirms its complete solidarity and support with the United Arab Emirates against those that target its security and stability. The Council stresses that the treacherous attack comes on the back of the Houthi militia’s defeats on the ground. It is also a clear message to the international community that this militia is nothing more than a criminal gang that threatens regional and international security and disregards international law as well as religious and humanitarian principles. 

The Muslim Council of Elders also extends its condolences to the United Arab Emirates and the families of the victims who perished while praying for a speedy recovery to the injured. May Allah protect the United Arab Emirates and maintain its security and stability so that it continues to be a model of tolerance and moderation as well as a pillar of growth and development.
