Attack on the Iraqi Council of Representatives Facility

Today's attack on Iraq's Council of Representatives facility is a heinous act of terrorism meant to intimidate the Iraqi people, their democratically elected representatives and institutions, and all those who work selflessly on their behalf to build a peaceful, unified, and stable Iraq. I extend our heartfelt sympathy to the loved ones of those killed and injured. The United States condemns such criminal acts and will continue to work with the Government of Iraq and our Coalition partners in pursuing the criminals who commit these atrocities against the Iraqi people and their democratically elected government.
