Al Qaeda recognizes the death of Bin Laden

Al Qaeda has acknowledged, through various web pages, the death of its leader Osama Bin Laden, as reported by SITE, a Washington-based organization that monitors the content of pages of Islamic Courts. "Al Qaeda has released a statement Thursday confirming forums yiahidistas death of their leader," says the agency.

In the same document, the terrorists threaten new attacks against the West in retaliation and warned that the death of the founder of Al Qaeda is "a curse to America", while urged Pakistanis to rise up against their government and " cleanse the shame "to protest the execution of Bin Laden in their country by the elite troops of the U.S..

"We affirm that the blood of the sheikh of the mujahideen Osama bin Laden is more precious and more valuable to us and to any Muslim, so we will not allow it to be spilled in vain," says the note, according to Efe. The terrorist organization says: "A curse is going to pursue the U.S. and its supporters inside and outside their countries." "Soon, with the help of God, his joy is going to turn into sadness and his blood will mix with her tears," Al Qaeda threat.

The statement also announced that the organization has a tape by bin Laden recorded a week before his death, which will go public soon. In the communiqué include a pledge made by Bin Laden says: "Neither the U.S. nor its residents will enjoy security until she enjoy our families in Palestine, and the soldiers of Islam will continue planning and preparing without fatigue.

" The White House has responded to the statement saying that the U.S. government is "very vigilant" any attempt at revenge by the terrorist organization. The White House spokesman, Jay Carney, said today aboard Air Force One that the call to avenge Bin Laden is a recognition of Al Qaeda for his death.

"We will continue extremely vigilant," said Carney told reporters. The announcement of Al Qaeda will certainly impact on the debate created following the decision of U.S. President Barack Obama, not to publish photos of the body's most wanted terrorist in history. Proponents of conspiracy theories that have crystallized in countries such as Pakistan or Afghanistan, and Bin Laden say that has not died, will now have fewer arguments to refute the official version offered by the White House.

At the same time, is somewhat of a boost for the Democratic president who will address the U.S. demand that yield to pressure and published the photos. Meanwhile, the death of Bin Laden continues to provoke protests. More than 3,000 Salafists have launched today a demonstration in Cairo for this reason and went to protest the U.S.

embassy in Cairo. Salafist groups left after the noon prayer in the mosque of al-Nur, one of the most important of Cairo. "Osama bin Laden is a martyr," "falling U.S. agents," we are all Bin Laden, "we sacrifice our blood and souls for you, martyr," are among the slogans chanted. In addition, security sources commented that hundreds of Coptic (Egyptian Orthodox Christians) demonstrated peacefully inside the cathedral, near the Al Nur, fearing any attack on the temple of the Salafists.

The Islamists failed in their attempt to demonstrate, however, in Pakistan, as the call for protests against the U.S. in different parts of the country had little popular support. The main religious party in Pakistan, Jamat-e-Islami (JI), called on his followers to take to the streets in major cities including Islamabad, nearby Rawalpindi, Lahore eastern and southern Karachi.

"They protest against U.S. interference in the affairs EEU of Pakistan," a spokesman explained to Efe of the Islamist forces, Shujat Qamar. The politician argued that "it is the U.S. that has brought terrorism to Pakistan and still maintained that" no evidence "that Bin Laden is dead. One of the protests, called after the afternoon prayer around the Red Mosque in Islamabad, was dissolved without the dozens of faithful come to sing harangues, or display banners.

After the protest failed, 100 to 200 people gathered in nearby Rawalpindi, a watered-down protest and had extensive media coverage. "Outside, America, go!" and "America is the enemy and who is also a friend of America is our enemy" were among the slogans of the demonstration, which was not able to see pictures of Bin Laden.

In Abbottabad, the city where he hid the head of al Qaeda, Islamists were able to gather about 500 people, according to a police source consulted by Efe. Also there was a demonstration in Quetta. In London, some 100 people from the radical Muslims against the Crusaders marched to the U.S.

Embassy and prayed in honor of Bin Laden, he reports. Kashmiri independence groups also paid homage today to Osama Bin Laden in the summer capital of this northern region India, several sources told Efe. The largest congregation was held at the Batmaloo neighborhood in the city of Srinagar at around 14.30 local time (11 Spanish time) and was called by the leader of the radical faction of the Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Geelani.

Geelani led a collective prayer for the death of Bin Laden which was attended by around a thousand people. A police source, however, that "the response was poor and prayers routinely passed, although he avoided encrypt the number of attendees. Geelani said during the ceremony that Bin Laden died as a martyr who fought against U.S.

oppression in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, "the agency said India IANS. Separatist leader noted that "Muslim sensibilities have been injured throughout the world for the decision (the U.S.) to throw the body of Osama to the sea" have killed him soon after. "Because of the anger and pain that Muslim believers around the world feel the way he was buried, today we pray for him in his absence," said Geelani, who was released from house arrest to attend the tribute, according with the police.

In Kashmir, India's only Muslim-majority region, are deployed hundreds of thousands of troops from the security forces and the army, in order to protect the border with Pakistan and to control local insurgent movements.
