"The maniacs who think that by hurting us, they can scare us - we don't scare."

And at a joint press conference in London, Mattis vowed to work with Britain to prevent similar attacks.
He added: "Our people are not made of cotton candy. The special relationship is not a historical artefact, it is a source of strength today.
"It is demonstrated today and we are never taking the special relationship for granted at any time.
";We will always stand together with our British allies, bound by inseparable ties."
