San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today released this statement on the rocket attack against Camp Hurriya in Iraq:

"The violent attack on Camp Hurriya deserves the world's condemnation. Today, the American people's thoughts are with the Camp's residents as they mourn their loved ones, recover from injuries, and continue to seek a safe future for their families following this unconscionable rocket attack.

"I endorse Secretary Kerry's statement calling on the Iraqi government to meet its obligations and take all necessary measures to protect the residents of Camp Hurriya.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, survivors, and loved ones of those affected by this act of terrorism. The American people remain dedicated to ensuring that the human rights of refugees are protected at Camp Hurriya and throughout the world."
