COTTONWOOD, AZ – Representative Ann Kirkpatrick, Arizona's only Member on  the House Homeland Security Committee, released the following statement following the discovery of two explosive devices found in route to the United States:


"Last night, authorities discovered two explosive devices headed for the U.S. as part of an attempted terrorist attack against our country. It is becoming more and more clear that there was a real and serious threat to the lives of our citizens - I am relieved and thankful that no one was harmed.
