Says War on Terror Is Far From Over, Calls For Increased Vigilance

WASHINGTON - Today, United States Rep. Virginia Foxx (NC-5) applauded American, British and Pakistani security officials for their role in uncovering and disrupting a terror plot of epic proportions.

"I stand alongside the rest of the country in extending my heartfelt thanks to those security officials who foiled this attempt at murder on a grand scale. This goes to show that behind-the-scenes intelligence work is effective in keeping our nation safe," Foxx stated.

While today's plot was thwarted, Foxx urges increased vigilance on the part of Homeland Security employees and average citizens alike.

"This is a real wake-up call to those who think the War on Terror is over. It is imperative that we increase security and intelligence and continue to combat terror across the globe," Foxx added.
