A RESOLUTION
Commending the armed forces of the United States for bringing
Osama bin Laden to final justice.
WHEREAS, Osama bin Laden has been the face of global
terrorism and was the architect of the September 11, 2001,
attacks on American citizens; and
WHEREAS, The dead or alive capture of Osama bin Laden has
been a top priority of past and current presidential
administrations, their intelligence agencies and the United
States military; and
WHEREAS, On May 1, 2011, United States Black Hawk helicopters
transported approximately two dozen troops from Navy SEAL Team-
- 1 -
Six, a top military counterterrorism unit, into a compound in
Abbottabad, Pakistan, which was identified by the CIA as bin
Laden's hideout and, after an approximate 40-minute firefight,
Osama bin Laden was shot and killed after he and his bodyguards
resisted capture in the assault; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Pennsylvania House of Representatives
commend the United States military and other involved United
States intelligence and strategic agencies for their service in
ending this near decade-long manhunt for Osama bin Laden,
thereby bringing justice to those responsible for the attacks on
September 11, 2001, and numerous other acts of terrorism across
the world; and be it further
RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to
the President of the United States, the presiding officers of
each house of Congress, to each member of Congress from
Pennsylvania and to the Secretary of Defense in Washington, DC.
