Sen. Cruz: From Pakistan to Australia, Terrorism Knows No Borders
Americans must unite with allies against acts of terror
WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today issued the following statement in response to the brutal terrorist attacks in both Pakistan and Australia:
“Within days, the world has witnessed the savage hand of radical Islamic terrorism against innocents—in Peshawar, Pakistan and in Sydney, Australia. In both places, terrorists sought to exterminate civilians, of all ethnicities, ages, and beliefs, alike. In Pakistan, more than 100 children were massacred at their desks by Taliban terrorists who wanted to inflict the maximum pain on the civilian population. Café workers and customers in Sydney were held hostage for hours. Some were forced to raise the black flag of jihad and death. A man and a woman died in their brave attempt to stop the terrorist gunman. These attacks may be distant on a map, but should be at the forefront of our minds. Terrorism knows no borders. And, strong American resolve is needed to help our friends and allies around the world to stop it.”
