“The capture of suspected terrorist Ahmad Khan Rahami is an important reminder that we must remain vigilant against radical Islamic extremists at home and abroad. Bombings this weekend and the attacks at a Minnesota mall show that our foes will seek to inflict mayhem and terror wherever and however they can. We must redouble our efforts to root out and defeat terror wherever it appears. If elected to Congress, I’ll work hard to rebuild our defense capabilities while also strengthening our diplomatic, intelligence and counter-terrorism efforts.” — John Faso
