Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement after news of rocket attacks at Camp Liberty in Iraq.

"I am deeply troubled by the recent, deadly attacks on civilians at Camp Liberty in Iraq."

"The Iraqi government should take immediate action to aid those wounded, and assist the families of those who lost their lives. As threats and attacks continue from neighboring Iran, the Iraqi government should improve safety for Camp Liberty. Any additional funds provided by the United States to Iraq should be contingent upon the Iraqi government's promise to provide safety for the camp."
