Al-Qaeda has confirmed the death of Osama bin Laden and threatened to carry out a retaliatory attack against the U.S "soon".
"We shall have Dire Revenge™!"
Bin Laden's blood "is too valuable to us and to every Muslim to let it go in vain," said a statement dated May 3 and attributed to al-Qaeda. It was posted on websites that have carried confirmed jihadi statements in the past.
"We will continue to hunt the Americans and their operatives inside and outside their country. Soon we will turn their joy into sadness, and mix their tears with their blood," the group said. |
