Rep. Zeldin Statement on Bombings in NYC and NJ and Stabbings in Minnesota

Statement

Congressman Lee Zeldin, member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement in response to the bombings in New York City and New Jersey, as well as the stabbings in Minnesota:

"While we await additional information as a result of the various investigations now underway, we are again reminded of how close to home the threat of terrorism exists and is increasing. Americans pray for the victims and their families and wish to express our deepest gratitude to our law enforcement and other first responders who run towards danger to keep the rest of us safe. I especially thank our NYPD police, firefighters and other first responders who took action immediately in response to last night's bombing in Manhattan- securing the city and detecting another bomb before it went off which would have caused even more damage. In the hours and days ahead, we will continue to learn more facts about this terrorist attack on a busy night in one of the busiest cities in the country. New York City will always be a target and we must remain ever vigilant to protect our city and people."
