Congressman Mike Rogers made the following remarks today regarding the U.S. military raid that led to the death of the world’s most wanted man, Osama bin Laden.

“Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, was finally brought to justice for the living hell he put Americans through almost a decade ago.  His orchestrated terrorist acts took almost 3,000 American lives and caused a tragedy from which our nation is still recovering. Bin Laden’s death is a testament to the dedication of our men and women in our military and the sacrifices they have made to help defend our nation since 9/11. This action should serve as a warning to all terrorists that America’s pursuit of justice is relentless.

“The celebrations across the country last night and excitement we all felt after learning about his death bolsters our patriotism, however, there still remains a serious terrorist threat to America.  We must remain vigilant in continuing to protect ourselves and our great nation from another attack.  God bless the USA.”
