Statement on the July 17th Bomb Blasts

I condemned the bomb blasts in the Jakarta J.W. Marriott and the Ritz Carlton this morning and implore our security forces to deploy resources to bring the perpetrators to justice. This regretful incident tarnish our solid reputation, gained deservedly hard over the last four years. My thoughts and prayers goes to the families and especially children who had to lose their parents as an outcome of this senseless act.
