President Barack Obama's statement on the terrorist attack in Algeria
The following is a press release from the White House on terrorist attacks in Algeria. It is not edited.
"Today, the
thoughts and prayers of the American people are with the families of all those
who were killed and injured in the terrorist attack in Algeria. The blame for
this tragedy rests with the terrorists who carried it out, and the United
States condemns their actions in the strongest possible terms. We have been in
constant contact with Algerian officials and stand ready to provide whatever
assistance they need in the aftermath of this attack. We also will
continue to work closely with all of our partners to combat the scourge of terrorism
in the region, which has claimed too many innocent lives. This attack is
another reminder of the threat posed by al Qaeda and other violent extremist
groups in North Africa. In the coming days, we will remain in close touch with
the Government of Algeria to gain a fuller understanding of what took place so
that we can work together to prevent tragedies like this in the future."
