“It’s very disturbing that one of the biggest cities in the world, most important cities in the world, some of the most popular locations in the town suffering these terrorist attacks,” he said. “So of course it makes you wonder a little bit, makes you question certain things. So of course it makes you wonder a little bit, makes you question certain things.”
