We definitely stand in support of these victims and their families. We extend our deepest condolences to these families and their loved ones.

We urge all Americans to do whatever they can to report any suspicious actIvities to the authorities immediately to help speed this process.

We urge the Bush administration to issue a nationwide precaution against unsubstantiated and premature speculations that may come in the media, similar to the stand taken by the Clinton administration during the Oklahoma City Bombing.
