U.S. Representative Jim Himes (CT-4) released the following statement following the President's announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden.

"We have learned that U.S. Special Forces killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. He can no longer commit heinous crimes likes those of September 11, 2001. I hope this brings a sense of closure to the families of those taken from us that day nearly a decade ago.

"This is a real tribute to the capability and persistence of our military and intelligence professionals. While we celebrate the success of this operation, we must remain vigilant. And I know that in the fight against terrorism, the American people will always be united."
