San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today released this statement on the terrorist attack at a hotel in Bamako, Mali:

"Today, the American people mourn the loss of one of our own, killed in the brutal attack in Mali. We embrace the people of Mali as we unite in grieving lost loved ones, healing the wounded, and helping the survivors of this horrendous attack.

"The unconscionable violence in Mali deserves the world's condemnation. Acts of terrorism around the world will not destroy the spirit of brotherhood that extends between nations, among people with different backgrounds and cultures.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the survivors, families of the victims, and people of Mali as we mourn the loss of the fallen and stand with them during this tragic time."
