U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Statement on Terror Attacks in Brussels

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Gregory W. Meeks issued the following statement regarding the terror attacks in Brussels, Belgium:

"I join my fellow Americans and others worldwide in mourning the tragic loss of life at the hands of terrorists in Brussels today. I extend my deepest condolences and prayers to the victims, their families and friends, and the Belgian people. Whenever such heinous attacks take place against innocent people, we are all victims.

"As a global community we must continue to unite against this global threat until we have brought the extremists who perpetrate such crimes to justice. I am confident that the U.S. Government will continue to provide all possible assistance to the Belgian authorities. The cowardice of terrorism will never erode the compassion we have for one another."
