NEWS: REPRESENTATIVE WEINER STATEMENT ON THE TERRORIST ATTACKS IN MUMBAI
Representative Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn and Queens), who represents a district with more South Asians than nearly any other, released the following statement on the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India:
"I am deeply saddened by the tragic deaths due to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends of those injured and killed.
"My prayers also go to Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, who dedicated years of service to Mumbai's Jewish community, and to the people of India and the Indian-American community here at home.
"These series of tragedies in Mumbai are a stark reminder that no country is off limits to terrorists. The U.S. must remain vigilant in rooting out evil terrorist networks. I hope that all the perpetrators involved in these deplorable, heinous acts will soon be brought to justice.
"I stand with the people of Mumbai and our Indian-American community."
