Al-Qaeda confirmed Osama bin Laden's death in an Internet statement posted on militant websites, signed by "the general leadership."
The al-Qaeda on Friday confirmed the death of its chief Osama bin Laden, five days after he was killed by American commandos in Pakistan's Abbottabad town.
The confirmation came in a statement posted by the terror network on jihadist websites, according to the U.S. monitoring group SITE.
In the statement, al-Qaeda warned that bin Laden's blood would not be “wasted” and attacks on the U.S. and its allies would continue. The terror group described itself as a “curse” on America, vowed bloodshed and asked Pakistan to rise up in revolt
