Al Qaeda Confirms Bin Laden Death, Urges Muslims to “Rise Up and Revolt”
Five days after al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was
killed in Pakistan by American forces, al Qaeda has confirmed his death in a
statement posted on jihadist forums.
The statement, which was translated by the SITE
Intelligence group, reads in part: "It (bin Laden's blood) will remain,
with permission from Allah the Almighty, a curse that chases the Americans and
their agents, and goes after them inside and outside their countries.”
"Their happiness will turn into sorrow, and their
blood will be mixed with their tears," al Qaeda said.
"We call upon our Muslim people in Pakistan, on
whose land Sheikh Osama was killed, 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."
"The soldiers of Islam, groups and individuals, will
continue planning without tiredness or boredom, and without despair or
surrender, and without weakness or stagnancy, until they cause the disaster
that makes children look like the elderly!"
"We will not deviate from that or change until Allah
judges between us and between our enemy with truth. Indeed, He is the best of
all judges. Nothing will harm us after that, until we see either victory and
success and conquest and empowerment, or we die trying."
Bin Laden, who was a mastermind behind the September 11
attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans, was killed by a team of Navy Seals Sunday
at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He was buried at sea.
