Congressman Sherman Condemns Recent Terrorist Attacks against India

Washington DC – Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and ranking member of the Subcommittee on Asia, 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."

"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."
