After President Obama’s announcement tonight that U.S. spec ops forces had killed Osama bin Laden, Senator Coons issued the following statement:
“This is a momentous development for our country. For nearly 10 years, America and its allies around the world have fought to stop the terrorism of al Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden. President Obama’s announcement tonight that bin Laden has been killed is a tribute to the hard, dedicated work of our armed forces. I hope his death will both make the world safer and speed the day when our troops can return home.”
