U.S. Senator Susan Collins, Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, issued this statement tonight following the President's announcement that the CIA has killed Osama bin Laden.
"The director of the National Counterterrorism Center informed me tonight that Osama bin Laden was killed in a U.S. operation. This welcome news is a credit to our intelligence efforts and brings to justice the architect of the attacks on our country that killed nearly 3,000 people on September 11, 2001."
