Statement comes after shooting and fire at Russian concert hall kills more than 100 people and injures more than 100 more
The US secretary of state Antony Blinken condemned Friday’s terrorist attack in Moscow in a statement Saturday afternoon, calling the shooting a “heinous crime”.
“We condemn terrorism in all of its forms and stand in solidarity with the people of Russia in grieving the loss of life from this horrific event,” Blinken said in the statement. “We send our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and all affected by this heinous crime.”
As always, I have no issue with the Russian people, regardless of my (very poor) opinion of the Russian government.
We’re all in this together. Innocent people were killed; everyone should mourn the murder of people who are just trying to live their lives.
