Washington, DC - Congresswoman Alma S. Adams (NC-12) released the following statement on the terrorist attacks in Brussels this morning:

“My heart breaks for all those affected by the acts of terror in Brussels. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Belgium today during this horrific tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the victims and their families. In the face of this deadly threat, we must stand as united and determined as ever to defeat terrorism. But we must not turn our backs on our democratic values. We here in the U.S. and our international community must remain united and vigilant in combating extremism and terrorism wherever it occurs. We must continue to strengthen our intelligence gathering capabilities and increase intelligence sharing with our allies to destroy terror safe havens abroad and increase security and awareness here at home.”
