Statement on Attack in London

Release Date: June 19, 2017

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
Contact: 202-282-8010

The Department of Homeland Security is closely monitoring the attack near a mosque in London in addition to early reports of the attack in Paris this morning. DHS stands with our European allies in fighting back against all forms of terrorism, and we will continue to work together to keep our communities safe against violent extremists who target any of our people.

The Secretary has been fully briefed on both incidents and will continue to monitor the situations.  Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected by these violent and reprehensible attacks.
