Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
In a statement on Tuesday, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed Egypt's solidarity with Oman, extending its condolences to the victims and wishing the injured a speedy recovery.
Earlier today, at least four Pakistanis were killed and another 30 wounded in a shooting near a Shiaa mosque in the Omani capital.
Shias this week mark Ashura, an annual day of mourning that commemorates the 7th-century battlefield martyrdom of Hussein.
The Omani authorities said all necessary security procedures have been taken to handle the situation.
Shiaa make up a small minority of Oman's overwhelmingly Muslim population. Most Omanis follow the Sunni or Ibadi branches of the faith.
