Congressman Culberson offers his deepest sympathies and condolences to the innocent people of India and victims from around the world, whose lives were affected by the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

“My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. America shares a tragic common bond with India, and we will continue to show our solidarity as you grieve and recover from these cowardly attacks.” Congressman Culberson said.

The attacks were planned methodically targeting innocent civilians and invoking terror in the cultural, commercial, and tourism hub of Mumbai. The victims were simply going about their lives in Mumbai’s hotels, train station, hospitals and cafes until they were brutally executed by members of a militant, extremist Islamic group. We are obliged to remember that the primary goal of terrorism is to demonstrate power by unleashing fear, chaos, and violence into civil societies and these senseless acts cannot and should not be tolerated.

The Congressman offers his support to the government of India as it works to bring the terrorists responsible for this atrocity to justice.

“India has our full and unequivocal support as it recovers from this bitter tragedy,” Culberson said.
