The assault, in which a mob allegedly raped and paraded the naked women, took place over two months ago, but it captured national and global attention as the video went viral on social media in the past week. Police have made some arrests.
A U.S. State Department spokesperson called the incident “brutal” and “terrible” and said the United States conveyed its sympathies to the victims.
