Al Qaeda Confirms Osama Bin Laden's Death

Al Qaeda have confirmed Osama Bin Laden's death in a statement posted on jihadist internet forums.

The U.S. monitoring group SITE Intelligence reported the development, which comes five days after the Pakistan raid.

In the statement, the terror group warned their leader's "blood will not be wasted" and attacks on American and its allies will continue.

The confirmation followed claims by US officials that it had been planning an attack on the U.S. rail network to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

The plot was apparently uncovered as US agencies went through information seized from bin Laden's compound after he was killed in a raid by Navy Seals.

It was probably posted by someone named “JihadBarry” hoping to keep people from asking for details.

If the jihadists are saying he's dead, that's further confirmation that he's undergoing enhanced interrogation at a remote location.

That should give OHB some wiggle room on the 27+ versions of the story from the White House.

IF we can get our limp wrist pansy CIC off the golf course to set him down and explain the situation to him speaking slowly and using small words so that he will OK the mission.

Or something like that.

what if Al Qaeda, which is mostly young adults, are as stupid as American Young Adults and have to ask/check to see “Who was Osama Bin Laden?” Maybe they don’t give a rat’s bum anymore. After all, they have a lifespan of a mosquito don’t they? 9/11 must be about 12 generations back to them now.

Have you actually had a SEAL tell you they killed him? SEALs do as ordered.

Statement:

The authenticity of the statement is not possible to confirm independently but it was posted on sites known to be used by the group.

It said: "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 not go in vain.

"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. Their blood will be mingled with their tears.

"We call upon our Muslim people in Pakistan... to rise up and revolt to cleanse this shame that has been attached to them by a clique of traitors and thieves ... and in general to cleanse their country from the filth of the Americans who spread corruption in it."

Someone doesn’t want the photo released.

I believe we killed him, it’s just hard to think this photo would cause so much angst.

I agree with aq on this one. The 3 billion dollars we give them probably do nothing but breed corruption. Lets stop immediately.
