The next dialogue between Palestinian factions. By Bahaa El-Bokhari in the Palestinian daily Al-Ayyam

"Terrorism is still alive among us and targets any country or sector as long as our societies are not alert enough or believe that terrorism is gone." -- Tariq Al-Homayed , Asharq Al-Awsat

"Security measures should be accompanied by social security and improving the standard of living of the citizen in order to avoid terrorist attacks like the Al-Hussein explosion." -- Mohamed Kaoush , Al-Arab Al-Yom

"The only excuse for terrorism is terrorism." -- Urayeb Al-Rantawi, Addustour

"Egyptians do not sympathise with any terrorist act regardless of its objectives. They can differentiate between terrorist acts and political activities which are the right of every citizen within the boundaries of the law." -- Akhbar Al-Khaleej

"It is useful to point out that the vast majority of Egyptians has always rejected this kind of criminal violence whatever its fake excuses are." -- Al-Ahram

"The Al-Hussein explosion is not only against the Egyptian government but the people as well." -- Gamal Abdel-Rahim , Al-Gomhuriya

"That solution could have come 48 hours earlier to prevent pharmacists from striking, patients from suffering and to save the face of the Ministry of Finance," -- Mohamed Abdel-Hafez , Al-Akhbar
