Tonight, Rep Mac Thornberry (R-TX), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, made the following statement on the attacks in Paris:

"My prayers are with the people of Paris tonight. In the midst of a horrifying terrorist attack, the President is right to offer the French any assistance they may need. We do not yet know what specific group is responsible, but their strategy of attacking soft targets, spreading terror and uncertainty, and using the fear they create to further radicalize and recruit- is one we will have to get much better at confronting."
