Hoyer Statement Condemning Terrorist Attack in Bulgaria
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today condemning a deadly terrorist attack on an Israeli tour bus in Bulgaria:
"Today's attack is a tragic reminder of the threat of terrorism Israelis face at home and abroad. Those who planned, carried out, and sponsored this attack will surely be identified and face justice for their actions and involvement.
"The murder of innocent tourists is a shameful act of cowardice that should give all Americans pause. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims' families, with Israelis and Bulgarians wounded in today's attack, and with those in Jewish communities throughout the world for whom it has brought a terrible moment of uncertainty and heightened vigilance. Let there be no uncertainty, though, that the people of the United States stand side-by-side with the people of Israel in their quest for security and the peace all nations deserve.
