Al-Qaida confirms Osama bin Laden's death

CAIRO -Al-Qaida on Friday confirmed the killing of Osama bin Laden and warned of retaliation, saying Americans' happiness will turn to sadness.



The confirmation came in an Internet statement posted on militant websites, signed by the general leadership of al-Qaida. The announcement opens the way for the group to name a successor to bin Laden. His deputy Ayman al-Zawahri is now the most prominent figure in the group and is a very likely contender to take his place.



The statement, dated May 3, was the first by the terror network since bin Laden was killed Monday by U.S. commandos in a raid on his hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The statement's authenticity could not be independently confirmed, but it was posted on websites where the group traditionally puts out its messages.



We stress that the blood of the holy warrior sheik, Osama bin Laden, God bless him, is precious to us and to all Muslims and will no go in vain, the statement said. We will remain, God willing, a curse chasing the Americans and their agents, following them outside and inside their countries.



Soon, God willing, their happiness will turn to sadness, it said, their blood will be mingled with their tears.



In the statement, al-Qaida also called on the people of Pakistan — where Sheik Osama was killed — to rise up in revolt against its leaders. It also said that an audio message bin Laden recorded a week before his death would be issued soon.

Wow, someone's angry... This was the only thing that scared me about Osama's death. Now they feel the need for revenge. Hopefully the government will up security. I'm interested to see what Osama said in that tape. Hopefully they'll release it.

Anyone who thought killing of Osama bin Laden made the US a safer place now is dead wrong. They are coming for their retaliation. When and where is now the big problem. US can step up security all they want. Do you really think that's going to stop them?

No, but it will make me feel better for the time being... I mean, until something really does happen that is. Dead or alive, we were fucked all along... People just hate on us because we're number 1. It's all about power. And since we have it we're the number one target. I just hope the terrorists fall apart without their leader, Osama. I can tell that's not going to happen though. Now they're even more motivated to destroy us.

Barack says bring it on b**ches.

If I were Obama right now, I'd move the hell out of the White House. That's a nice big target and so is Michelle Obama's rear end.

Hey, maybe Trump can move in and make a casino there.

Are we safer? Not really, but we need to get the message across that if you mess with the US you're going to get a bullet with your name on it; Bin Laden is a great example. The US won't cower over Bin Laden's death in fear of retaliation. I say, bring it on. We have plenty of bullets, and if they want their name on one, the Navy SEALs will deliver it to them personally.

Don't forget Saddam Hussein. We got his ass too. Don't mess with us!
