Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after President Trump announced the death of ISIS Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi:

"This weekend President Trump brought one of the world's most ruthless Islamic terrorists to justice. The decisive mission killing Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was fittingly named in honor of Kayla Mueller, a native of Prescott, Arizona. Kayla was tortured and slain at the hands of al-Baghdadi, but his reign of terror has finally ended. I am grateful to President Trump for honoring Kayla's life and for the brave men and women in uniform who carried out this mission. May God grant peace to the family of Kayla Mueller, and may Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi rot in hell."
