Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who fell, said in a press statement issued here on Saturday. The people of Pakistan and the American people together face the threat of violent extremists who use the bullet rather than the ballot to impose their will. The American people stand with all Pakistanis in confronting the common threat of violent extremism. We particularly honor the service of the men and women of the Pakistan armed forces, who have sacrificed so much. Their bravery and service honors us all, and we send them our prayers and support.
