The top senator wrote: "We pay tribute to the courage and valor of law enforcement personnel who have given their lives in confronting this inhuman phenomenon."
The upper house speaker said: "Our country has faced the cruelty and treachery of the plotters and perpetrators of these destructive terrorist acts more than once. Innocent citizens and, what’s especially horrifying, defenseless children were the targets of these cynical murderers. In no way can any personal or ideological motives or political goals serve as a justification of that."
