Pompeo Statement on the Killing of Osama Bin Laden

Statement

After receiving the news that the United States has located and killed Osama Bin Laden, mastermind of the horrific 9/11 terrorist attacks, Congressman Mike Pompeo released the following statement:

"I am thrilled to learn that America has defeated one of our greatest enemies, the former head of Al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden.

"As a former member of the armed services, I am deeply proud of the courageous work performed by my brethren who worked so doggedly to take down Bin Laden. For years, our intelligence officers, soldiers, airmen, marines and sailors have committed themselves to combating the scourge of terrorism. They deserve our most sincere appreciation for a job well done and I am grateful that those Americans who are responsible for this success are able to return home, unharmed.

"America is now more secure as a result of the strength of our armed services and those who brought this long-running pursuit to a decisive and successful end. We need also to remember those who gave their lives in this effort -- they will never be forgotten," stated Pompeo.
