The United States condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attack at the Mogadishu International Airport in Somalia on July 26. Our condolences go out to the United Nations personnel, African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) soldiers, Somali citizens, and friends and families of all those who were killed and injured in this cowardly attack.
