White House Responds To Baghdad Massacre

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs called an attack on a Baghdad church that killed 58 people over the weekend “senseless.”

Gibbs’ office put out a statement today condemning the brutal attack, the worst massacre of Iraqi Christians since the Iraq War began in 2003.

“The United States strongly condemns this senseless act of hostage taking and violence by terrorists linked to al Qaeda in Iraq that occurred Sunday in Baghdad killing so many innocent Iraqis,” Gibbs said. “Our hearts go out to the people of Iraq who have suffered so much from these attacks.”
