Online supporters of Osama bin Laden and his campaign of global jihad reacted with confusion, sadness, and often anger following the news that Osama bin Laden is dead, killed by US special forces in Pakistan Sunday. Here is a sampling of four ways commenters on pro-jihadi websites responded.
• "The Americans are doing this to make a good excuse for leaving Afg[hanistan] this year."
• "It seems obama has secured his seat in the white [House] for the next term. This week only, he proved the world he was born in america by releasing his birth certificate and now he killed america’s worst enemy.”
