Statement by Amy Klobuchar on Thwarted Terrorist Attacks
Thursday, 10 August 2006

Amy Klobuchar, candidate for U.S. Senate and Hennepin County Attorney, made the following statement:

"Today's reports of a thwarted attempt to smuggle explosives on to airplanes in London are a sobering reminder of the continued threats that we face as a nation.

"As a member of the law enforcement community, I want to commend the work of all of the agencies involved in shutting down this terrorist plot. To end these deadly terrorist networks we must have detailed coordination of law enforcement, intelligence and security personnel at all levels of government."

"A year after the bombings in the London subway and five years after 9/11, we must continue to work tirelessly with our allies, like the United Kingdom to close down the dangerous terrorist networks that threaten our nation's security. Protecting the security and safety of the American people is our first priority."
