“I was deeply shocked to learn of the terrorist attacks today and hope above all that the bereaved and injured know of our prayers and concerns for them and for the security and emergency services. I also hope that all of us play our part in the psychological defeat of terrorism by not allowing it to make us live our lives in permanent fear.”
