Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and ranking member of the Subcommittee on Asia, has condemned the terrorist attacks against India, at a military base bordering Pakistan, and in Afghanistan.
Sherman released the following statement following news of terrorist attacks against India: “I strongly condemn the terrorist attacks on India’s Pathankot military base as well as on the Indian Consulate in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. There is speculation that these attacks might be in reaction to positive outcomes from Prime Minister Modi’s recent visits Afghanistan and Pakistan.”
Sherman added: “I strongly encourage the governments in the region to make every effort to find the terrorists that carried out these attacks and bring them to justice. These attacks are a stark reminder of the ongoing danger terrorism poses throughout much of the world. The United States should continue to assist these governments and ensure they can combat this scourge.”
