Cole Condemns Terrorist Attacks in Brussels

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) released the following statement in response to the tragic terrorist attacks today in Brussels, Belgium.

"I am deeply grieved to hear of the despicable acts of terror in Brussels," said Cole. "Without question, my prayers and thoughts are with our Belgian allies as they face this unexpected and truly horrific tragedy. Unfortunately, these senseless attacks are a sobering reminder that, due to the rapidly-spreading influence and violence of ISIS beyond its center in the Middle East, the world we once knew is not safe. Unless and until we stand in strong resolve with our allies, conflicts around the world are only likely to escalate. In the days ahead, we must be vigilant in not only identifying terrorist threats but decisive in defeating them."
