BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO
(THE SENATE CONCURRING):
| WHEREAS, On September 11, 2001, the United States was | 8 |
| deliberately attacked by operatives from the al Qaeda terrorist | 9 |
| organization without regard for the sanctity of life and with the | 10 |
| utmost depravity. The attack left thousands dead in New York City, | 11 |
| Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania; and | 12 |
| WHEREAS, Al Qaeda is a militant Islamist group that advocates | 13 |
| global jihad against the West and the destruction of the state of | 14 |
| Israel. Al Qaeda has been linked to multiple terrorist attacks | 15 |
| against the United States and our allies, including the 1993 World | 16 |
| Trade Center bombing, the United States Embassy bombings in Kenya | 17 |
| and Tanzania, the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole, and the September | 18 |
| 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, as | 19 |
| well as numerous other attacks around the world; and | 20 |
| WHEREAS, The founder of al Qaeda and its leader during the | 21 |
| course of its history of violence was Osama bin Laden who, as | 22 |
| leader of al Qaeda's war of terror, advocated that civilians, | 23 |
| including women and children, are legitimate targets of jihad; and | 24 |
| WHEREAS, On May 1, 2011, forces from the United States, | 25 |
| including members of the United States Special Operations Forces | 26 |
| and national security agencies, attacked Osama bin Laden's | 27 |
| compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, killing him along with his son | 28 |
| and several other al Qaeda operatives; and | 29 |
| WHEREAS, The death of Osama bin Laden represents the | 30 |
| culmination of nearly ten years of efforts by the United States | 31 |
| Armed Forces and intelligence agencies as well as efforts of our | 32 |
| allies to bring Osama bin Laden to justice for the death and | 33 |
| destruction that he and his organization have wrought throughout | 34 |
| the world. Those efforts, most of which are not known or | 35 |
| recognized, are indicative of the courage, skill, determination, | 36 |
| and honor of the men and women who have undertaken them on behalf | 37 |
| of the citizens of the United States and freedom-loving people | 38 |
| throughout the world; now therefore be it | 39 |
| RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of | 40 |
| Representatives of the 129th General Assembly of the state of | 41 |
| Ohio, commend and honor the members of the United States Armed | 42 |
| Forces, including the United States Special Operations Forces, the | 43 |
| United States national security agencies, and the United States | 44 |
| intelligence community in conducting the successful operation | 45 |
| against Osama bin Laden on Sunday May 1, 2011; and be it further | 46 |
| RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives | 47 |
| transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the | 48 |
| President of the United States, the Secretary of the Department of | 49 |
| Defense, and the news media of Ohio. | 50 |
