Sen. Cruz: Prayers for the American Troops Killed in the Recent Afghanistan Suicide Bombing

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released the following statement on Monday’s terrorist attack in Afghanistan that killed six U.S. service members, including Michael Anthony Cinco, an airman from the Rio Grande Valley. Cinco and five other service members died. Two service members and a contractor were also injured in the attack.

“Today, Heidi and I are lifting up in prayer the Cinco family and all those affected by this horrific act of terrorism – an act of pure and unadulterated evil. The victims of this attack are patriots who have given their utmost for liberty so that we may remain safe and free. As details continue to unfold surrounding this suicide bombing, a signature tactic of radical Islamic terrorism, let’s pause to remember the selflessness and bravery of America’s fallen servicemen and women.”
