U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Statement on Terrorist Attack in Mali

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Gregory W. Meeks released the following statement regarding the hostage situation at the Radisson Blu hotel in Mali:

"My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and the families affected by the attacks in Bamako. I strongly condemn this heinous act of terrorism carried out against innocent people and join others in mourning the loss of life. The horror of recent atrocities committed against innocent civilians in Nigeria, Beirut, Paris, and elsewhere are difficult to comprehend, but we must fight back against extremist groups that commit these acts by unifying as a global community against this global threat. There can be no tolerance for extremism in society."
