Senator Collins’ Statement On Murder Of American Journalist Steven Sotloff

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Susan Collins, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, today issued the following statement regarding reports that the terrorist organization ISIS has beheaded American journalist Steven Sotloff:

"I extend my deepest sympathies and prayers to the Sotloff family as it faces this tragic loss today. Once again ISIS has demonstrated its inhumanity. What further proof do we need that this terrorist organization is intent on killing Americans? It is long overdue for the Obama Administration to present to the Congress, the American people, and our allies around the world a comprehensive strategy to respond to the horrific threat ISIS poses."
