Global Message

KEY POINTS

  • Regarding the bombing in Bali, the President expressed his sorrow and said that terrorists have once again targeted innocent men, women, and children. They were murdered or injured in a cowardly act designed to create terror and chaos.

  • The world must confront the global menace of terrorism. Together we must challenge and defeat the idea that the wanton killing of innocents advances any cause or supports any aspirations. And we must call this despicable act by its rightful name: murder.
