Hillary Clinton Sunday condemned the attacks in Minnesota, New Jersey and New York over the weekend.

{mosads}”I pray for all of those who were wounded, and for their families,” she said in a statement. 

A pipe bomb exploded in Seaside Park, N.J., Saturday afternoon. No injuries were reported. 

Another explosion occurred in New York City later that day and injured 29 people. 

And a man stabbed nine people at a mall in St. Cloud, Minn., Saturday night. 

Officials have said the incident in Minnesota is being investigated as a potential act of terrorism. An ISIS connected news agenda claimed responsibility for the attack. 

“ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack in Minnesota, and this should steel our resolve to protect our country and defeat ISIS and other terrorist groups. I have laid out a comprehensive plan to do that,” Clinton said.

“This includes launching an intelligence surge to help identify and thwart attacks before they can be carried out, and to spot lone wolf attackers. We also need to work with Silicon Valley to counter propaganda and recruitment efforts online. Americans have faced threats before, and our resilience in the face of them only makes us stronger. I am confident we will once again choose resolve over fear.”
