Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) released the following statement today in response to reports that rebels had killed deposed Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi:

"The death of Moammar Gadhafi is a victory for freedom-loving people. Gadhafi was an unstable dictator who oppressed his country with fear and an iron fist. He terrorized the world with his violent acts, including the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 189 Americans and 81 more innocent civilians. At long last, justice has been served.

"With Gadhafi out of the picture, it's time for US involvement in Libya to end."
