U.S. Senator Collins' Statement on Terrorist Attacks in Brussels

 WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Susan Collins, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and former Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, released the following statement today on the terrorist attack in Brussels, Belgium:
 
"The United States stands firmly with the government and the people of Belgium in the face of this horrific act of terrorism.
 
“Today’s terrorist attack is another stark reminder that ISIS poses a direct and very dangerous threat to the American people and to our allies in Europe so long as ISIS has safe havens to operate from in Syria, Iraq, and Libya. I want the families of the victims to know that the United States will redouble its efforts to work with our allies to disrupt and prevent these vicious attacks and to pursue and capture those responsible.
 
"As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I will be receiving further information and analysis from the National Counter Terrorism Center throughout the day."
