(New York, NY) –- The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) released the following statement in response to the apparent terror attack in Manchester, England.  

"The Counter Extremism Project strongly condemns tonight's apparent terror attack that claimed the lives of at least 19 people at the conclusion of an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England.
