Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement on recent terror attacks around the world. 

“As this somber weekend comes to a close, our community and people around the world continue to grapple with the horrific events of recent weeks. The terror attacks in Sinai, Beirut, Baghdad and Paris have ripped at the hearts of every American and left us mourning hundreds of innocent lives, including three members of our community - Leila Taleb and Hussein Mostapha, parents of a three-year-old son from Dearborn, and Leila Mazloum, who had just returned to Beirut in an effort to bring her family to the United States. Our hearts ache for them and we offer our continued prayers and support to their families and everyone touched by this unconscionable brutality.

“What the loss of Leila, Hussein and Leila makes so clear is that these horrific acts of violence were attacks on our own. They were attacks on freedom loving people around the world, and they were attacks on everything we stand for as Americans. In these days of darkness, may our friends and allies around the world know that they do not stand alone. We must stand united against acts of terror everywhere. We rededicate ourselves to the fight against terrorism and hate and we pledge our help and support to bring those responsible to justice and protect innocent lives around the globe.”
