ISLAMABAD, May 6 : Al Qaeda confirmed Osama Bin Laden was dead on Friday, dispelling some of the fog around the killing of the “holy warrior,” and vowed to mount more attacks on the West.
The announcement by the Islamist network, which promised to publish a taped message from Bin Laden soon, appeared likely to silence doubts expressed by some that he had died at all.
In a statement online, it said Bin Laden’s blood “is more precious to us and to every Muslim than to be wasted in vain.”
“It will remain, with permission from Allah the Almighty, a curse that hunts the Americans and their collaborators and chases them inside and outside their country.”
Al Qaeda urged Pakistanis to rise up against their government to “cleanse” the country of what it called the shame brought on it by Bin Laden’s shooting and of the “filth of the Americans who spread corruption in it.”
“Before the sheikh passed from this world and before he could share with the Islamic nation in its joys over its revolutions in the face of the oppressors, he recorded a voice recording of congratulations and advice which we will publish soon, God willing,” the militant group said.
“We warn the Americans not to harm the corpse of the sheikh or expose it to any indecent treatment or to harm any members of his family, living or dead, and to deliver the corpses to their families,” it added. US officials say Bin Laden’s body has been buried at.

How do they know, really? Did he stop responding to their emails? Maybe he’s just on a long vacation and hasn’t gotten around to them.

How ???
Supposedly theres no bod
Oh, that's right...America has had Jihad declared on it for several decades now.
The Seal team effort is a huge success. You know why? They are telling us.
The article does not mention any person's name. Read it.
It would appear that nobody is racing to be a leader of prominence.
but, but, but...we didn’t show the picture and we didn’t pi** on his corpse and bury it in a hog wallow. They shouldn’t want revenge now.
Have to maintain their boy, Barry’s credibility, don’t they?
It’s sickening that he’s kept the photos under lock and key.
This is just insane.
Dead .....Again.
hussein obama is a liar, his friend osama bin laden died may years ago.

“It’s sickening that he’s kept the photos under lock and key.

This is not insane; it is perfectly reasonable. Of course, the photos will leak eventually. But in the meantime, what do you suppose would be accomplished, aside from satisfying morbid curiosity? When the Zapruder film came out of hiding all it did was feed Oliver Stone et. al.’s paranoia.
We'll see....
My reasonable to you, but the reason given was BS
If you're really worried about inflaming the middle east, then GET OUT of the middle east.
Based on these pictures, they're already inflamed.
Picture a stack of queerans, or whatever those “books” are, together with a mass of PAKISTANI FLAGS being BURNED. Let that go viral...
They are club nuclear, all they need is an ayatollah.
Sorry bud.
“If you’re really worried about inflaming the middle east, then GET OUT of the middle east.”
That’s a good point. Though there might be ground between immediate withdrawal of embroiled troops and rubbing people’s faces in a dead body.
“Based on these pictures, they’re already inflamed.”
I’m thinking the “Pakistani religious party Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam” may not be Obama’s target audience. People tend to forget muslim nations have their “silent majorities,” too, watching their Pakistani Idol, or whatever, and not paying attention until salacious things pop up.
Now, if only he could get Al Queda to confirm his birth certificate...
Because his "wife" - the one he was given on her 15th birthday - lived to tell the tale. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's why she wasn't killed.
While she may not be a physician, I'm guessing she understood the medical significance of a large, gaping hole in her husband's head.
