CAIRO - 20 February 2019: Prosecutor General Nabil Sadek said Wednesday that the Egyptian prosecution team have a great experience in crimes of terrorism that could be useful at the international level, adding that terrorism practices are the most serious violations of international peace and human rights.

This came at a conference on fighting terrorism, Sadek added that since the start of the past century, Egypt has been keen on fighting terrorism and its funding and money laundering at the national and international levels.

Therefore, Egypt has joined many international agreements on fighting terrorism and outlined a national strategy for fighting it, he added.

He reviewed challenges in fighting terrorist crimes and funding, noting that besides the military confrontation on the ground there is another challenge which is in the cyber domain.

Terrorist groups had developed their methods via using modern technology for spreading and implementing their terrorist ideology, he said, explaining that they do not need now to physically move from one place to another.

Simply they can communicate via modern technology and use encrypted messages away from the control of the men of law enforcement.

This requires the international community to enhance cooperation and coordination for fighting these criminal methods, he said, adding that world countries have to upgrade their methods of cooperation and their exchange of information to fight terrorist groups.
