Al Qaeda released a statement on jihadist forums Friday confirming the death of its leader, Osama bin Laden, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors Islamist websites.
The development comes days after U.S. troops killed bin Laden in a raid on a compound in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad.
The statement, translated by SITE, lauded the late militant, threatened to take action against the United States, and urged Pakistanis to "rise up and revolt."
Bin Laden's death will serve as a "curse that chases the Americans and their agents, and goes after them inside and outside their countries," the message said.
"Soon -- with help from Allah -- their happiness will turn into sorrow, and their blood will be mixed with their tears," it said.

Good thing we're not going to release any of the images to really make them mad.

Quite a contrast to Obama's decision to end the embargo on photos of caskets containing the remains of brave servicemen and women returning from Iraq.

Yep, Obama had no qualms for using the bodies of American KIAs for political purposes, which was to provide himself and other opponents of the Iraq War a tool to undermine President Bush. Bush was correct not to allow himself to be used as another Obama stage prop during the campaign stop at Ground Zero.
