(Washington, DC) – Today, U.S. Congressman Chip Cravaack (MN-8) released the following statement on the death of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden:  

“I applaud the amazing men and women of our military and our intelligence agencies who have worked for almost 10 years to make sure Osama bin Laden – the perpetrator of the worst terrorist attack in American history – was finally brought to justice for his heinous crimes. This may not end the threat posed to us by global terrorism, but it is a clear victory for America and freedom loving people throughout the world.”
