Al-Qaida confirms Osama bin Laden's death

[dbackjon]

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.

Didn't realize you were Muslim, believed that, and think that he earned the virgins.

WHy do you hate America so much? We can start a fund-raising drive for a one-way ticket to Pakistan for you, so you can join the anti-American protests there.

I killed OBL about 15 times on a flash game the other night!

The CIA may want to start monitoring the oddly quiet, walled compound across the street from Osama's there in Abbottabad.

What a wonderful example of the type of thinking that occurs when an oppressed minority gains some confidence in saying what they really want to say about others.

Gosh, Jon...following up with a similar theme of intolerence, why do you hate America so much? A lot of people might want to start a fund-raising drive for a one-way ticket to Phukinthebuttland for you, so you can join the anti-Catholic Church protests there.
