I am appalled and saddened by today’s terrorist attack at the Imam Ali Mosque in Najaf. I condemn in the strongest possible language this barbarous action, and offer my sincerest condolences to the victims. My thoughts and prayers are with the families who lost loved ones in today’s heinous attack.
The time has come for Iraqis to unite against terrorism. Terrorists are the enemies of Iraqi unity, security, democracy and prosperity. In addition to uniting, the best response to today’s attack is for Iraqis with information about terrorist activities to provide it to the security forces.
The United States government mourns the loss of every innocent Iraqi and is determined to help the Iraqi government bring peace to all Iraqis. We pledge to work with the Iraqi government and security forces to bring the perpetrators and organizers of this crime to justice.
God bless the people of Iraq.
