No Fear

Ryan: 'No reason' to fear threat to Capitol

By JAKE SHERMAN

House Speaker Paul Ryan said he has "received updates" about the terrorist attack in Brussels, and he has "absolutely no reason to believe there is a threat" to the U.S. Capitol complex.

The Wisconsin Republican said he is in touch with the intelligence community in the wake of the attack, which killed dozens. Ryan called the scene in Belgium's capital "so horrific."

"One minute, people are going about their day, the next minute, people are running for their lives," Ryan told reporters after a closed meeting of House Republicans. "This is a terrorist attack in the heart of Europe. As our countries have always done, we must confront this threat together. We must defend democracy and defeat terror. Our prayers are with Brussels, as is our solidarity."
