"As a Muslim and the father of a young girl, I strongly condemn the actions of this group and support American efforts to locate and rescue these young women. I would also ask our partners in the international community to be vigilant and work together to find the missing girls and return them to their families.

The exercise involved more than 30 local, state and federal agencies and was the first of its kind in the nation.
