“This attack in New Dehli is an attack not just on the country of India but on humanity itself. Acts such as this achieve nothing and run sharply counter to all decent and moral methods of expressing disagreement.

I offer my most sincere condolences to the people of India and especially to the families of those who have lost loved ones. Our thoughts and prayers this day are with India and her citizens.”
