U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Condemns Terrorist Attack on Jerusalem Bus

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Senior Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Congressman Gregory W. Meeks, issued the following statement regarding a terrorist attack on a bus in Talpiot, a neighborhood in Jerusalem, Israel:

"I emphatically condemn the attack in Jerusalem today. Blowing up a bus full of civilians with an IED is an appalling act of terrorism and those who are behind it should be brought to justice. These sorts of attacks not only injure innocent civilians, but they hinder the prospects of achieving peace in the region.

"I join those in our nation and others around the world in wishing for a full and speedy recovery for the victims of the attack."
