Sen. Cruz Issues Statement on Terror Attack in Baghdad

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today issued the following statement in response to the terrorist attack in Baghdad at the hands of ISIS:

“Tomorrow, Americans will celebrate the 240th anniversary of our nation’s birth; today, we mourn for the over 130 lives lost in a senseless bombing in Baghdad. Like the killings in Bangladesh on Friday, ISIS is responsible for this attack. This time their target was fellow Muslims.  It makes no difference to ISIS whether one is American or Iraqi, Belgium or French, Turkish or Bengali. The enemy of ISIS seeks to destroy all who do not share its radical beliefs. This July 4th, we should take a moment to reflect on our nation’s blessings and join together in unity vowing to utterly defeat radical Islamic terrorists.”
