Peters: "America can Move Forward with Bin Laden Behind Us"

Statement

Representative Gary Peters released the following statement in response to the news that US forces have killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden:

"All Americans remember where we were on September 11, 2001, and every American will remember where we were when we heard that America had finally brought the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks to justice.

"For the past decade, countless brave Americans in our military and intelligence community have worked tirelessly to counter the threat posed by al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, and this is a significant victory in the fight against terrorism.

"The attacks on 9/11 were a turning point in our history. Osama bin Laden coldly plotted the murder of thousands of Americans and innocent civilians around the world, and while we still face serious threats and we cannot let down our guard, today America can move forward with Bin Laden behind us."
