    Statement on the Terrorist Attack in Jerusalem
    March 6, 2008

        I condemn in the strongest possible terms the terrorist attack in
    Jerusalem that targeted innocent students at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva.
    This barbaric and vicious attack on innocent civilians deserves the
    condemnation of every nation.
        I have just spoken with Prime Minister Olmert to extend my deepest condolences to the victims, their
    families, and to the people of Israel. I told him the United States
    stands firmly with Israel in the face of this terrible attack.
