William Loiry Applauds Demise of Osama bin Laden

WASHINGTON – May 1, 2011. Anti-terrorism leader William Loiry applauded the news today from President Barack Obama that “justice has been done” in the demise of the world’s number one terrorist, Osama bin Laden.

“Osama bin Laden must now confront the souls of the 3,000 people he murdered in 2001 – may God have mercy on his soul” said Loiry. “He was not acting as an agent of Islam – he was a deranged agent of evil, who inflicted momentous pain not only on Christians and Jews but also on Muslims.”

In 1998, William Loiry and his team organized the first conference on the threat of Osama bin Laden on Americans overseas. Since the terrorist attacks of 9-11, Loiry and his team have brought thousands of leaders together in Washington to focus on solutions to continuing terrorist threats, including Congressional forums and other Washington events on emergency communications, bioterrorism, infrastructure protection, cyberterrorism protection, transportation security, and border security.

Loiry, Chairman of the United States Leadership Forum and the Homeland Security Leadership Forum added, “The demise of Osama bin Laden does not mean that the terrorist threat to America is over. We must continue to be vigilant. And we must also continue to insist that love triumphs over all evil.”
