Sen. Cruz Issues Statement on Barcelona Attack

"America stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Spain in their efforts to bring to justice those responsible for today’s atrocity"

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) issued the following statement regarding today's attack by terrorists in Barcelona, Spain:

"Today, we mourn the lives lost in the barbaric terrorist attack that occurred in Barcelona, Spain. ISIS has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack in which at least twelve innocent people were murdered and 100 others injured when a terrorist plowed through the crowded streets in the Las Ramblas district, intentionally targeting pedestrians. This same heinous method has been employed by radical Islamic terrorists across the world, including places such as Jerusalem, Nice, Berlin, London, and Stockholm.

"Heidi and I send our deepest condolences to the victims of this horrific terror attack in Barcelona and their families and pray for a complete recovery for all those injured. America stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Spain in their efforts to bring to justice those responsible for today's atrocity."
