(Concord, NH) – Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) issued the following statement on the killing of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi:

“I am grateful for the heroism and incredible work of our nation’s intelligence community and our military, with the help of allies, that led to the killing of ISIS leader al-Baghdadi. ISIS has carried out atrocities across the globe, and their brutality was felt close to home with the horrific murder of James Foley. While this development is significant, the danger of ISIS remains very real and we must not rest until ISIS no longer poses a threat to the United States and our allies.”
