Whereas on April 10, 2007, a series of explosions in Casablanca, Morocco, 
        resulted in the tragic death of a Moroccan police officer and numerous 
        injuries to others;
Whereas on April 14, 2007, two suicide attacks in Casablanca, Morocco, one near 
        the United States Consulate, resulted in panic and chaos in the 
        surrounding area;
Whereas on April 11, 2007, multiple explosions in Algiers, Algeria, resulted in 
        the horrific deaths of 33 people, including members of the police force, 
        and injuries to more than one hundred people;
Whereas the people and Governments of the Kingdom of Morocco and the People's 
        Democratic Republic of Algeria have been targeted in several terrorist 
        attacks over the past several years;
Whereas Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda affiliates claimed responsibility for the attacks 
        in Morocco and Algeria; and
Whereas Morocco and Algeria are both allies of the United States in the fight 
        against global terrorism: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns in the strongest terms the horrific terrorist

        of the United States with the people and Governments of the 
        Kingdom of Morocco and the People's Democratic Republic of 
        Algeria as they recover from these cowardly and inhuman 
        attacks;
            (4) expresses its readiness to support and assist the 
        Moroccan and Algerian authorities in their efforts to bring to 
        justice those individuals responsible for the recent attacks in 
        Morocco and Algeria and to detect, pursue, disrupt, and 
        dismantle the networks that plan and carry out such attacks; 
        and
            (5) expresses its support for the people and Governments of 
        Morocco and Algeria in their continued struggle against 
        extremism and violence, and support for their efforts to secure 
        peace for their nations.
