"I condemn in the strongest terms the atrocious terrorist attacks that have taken place in recent weeks, notably in Baghdad, Istanbul, Tel Aviv and most recently in Orlando.

The fight against terrorism should be global and, in the frame of its responsibilities, our subcommittee will remain committed to enhancing international security."
