WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) issued the following statement regarding the successful American operation in Pakistan that resulted in the death of Osama bin Laden:

“Nearly 10 years ago, thousands of innocent Americans lost their lives on September 11th. The momentous news of Osama bin Laden’s death – al Qaeda’s leader and the mastermind of those attacks – is a historic success in the War on Terror. It speaks to the resolve of our American troops and intelligence officers who have worked relentlessly for this moment. As we move forward, we will continue our unyielding efforts to dismantle terror networks around the world and protect American lives.”
