Denver, CO – Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement on President Obama’s announcement that Osama bin Laden has been killed:
“Almost 10 years ago, extremist terrorists launched a vicious attack on our country that killed thousands of innocent men, women and children. Tonight, the families affected by this tragedy and all Americans received the welcome news that the architect of this attack was killed thanks to the competent and courageous efforts of American forces. While this development does not mark the end of our efforts, the death of Osama bin Laden does mark a very significant milestone in our fight against Al Qaeda and violent extremism across the globe.”
