Note to news editors: this is a non-story. Of course he isn't going to say much. He isn't president, he doesn't make policy and he keeping to a long term convention that presidents-elect don't intervene in/comment on foreign policy.
Some here have compared his response to current events to those in Mumbai late last year but comparisons between comments on a controversial war in the middle east and condolences on a universally condemned terrorist attack don't hold.
