"Congratulations to the Islamic Nation on the martyrdom of their devoted son Osama,

Even when the Americans managed to kill Osama, they managed to do ONLY that by disgrace and betrayal. Men and heroes only should be confronted in the battlefields but at the end, that's God's fate. Still we ask, will the Americans be able through their media outlets, their agents, their instruments, soldiers, intelligence services and their might be able to kill what Sheikh Osama lived for and was killed for? How far! How impossible! Sheikh Osama didn't build an organization that will vanish with his death or fades away with his departure.

In this context, we in al Qaeda Jihad organization promise God Almighty and we ask Him for help, support and steadfastness to continue on the path of jihad that our leaders, led by Sheikh Osama chose, and that we will not be reluctant, and will not deviate from that honorable path until God be the final judge between us and our enemy.

We also stress that the blood of the mujahid sheikh Osama bin Laden, may God have mercy on him is VERY dear to us and more precious to us and to every Muslim from being shed in vain and this blood (OBL's blood) will be a curse that will chase the Americans and their agents, a curse that will pursue them inside and outside their country, and soon — with God's help — we pray that their happiness turns into sorrow and may their bloods mix with their tears and let Sheikh Osama's resonate again that "America will neither enjoy nor live in security until our people in Palestine live it and enjoy it. ...

We call upon our Muslim people in Pakistan where our dear Sheikh Osama was killed on their soil to rise up and revolt so they can cleanse this disgrace that was brought upon them by a handful of traitors and thieves who have sold everything to the enemies of the Muslim nation, and disregarded the feelings of this great Muajhid (Pakistani) people and let them rise up and start a massive public uprising to cleanse their country (Pakistan) from the filth of the Americans who have wreaked havoc in the land". ...

There was already an attempted attack on a nuclear power plant in the UK that is close enough to wear I live to wipe my family out, channel or no channel.

I'm flying in June through Newark to Minnesota and I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty scared. In some ways killing Osama was a really bad move, it is going to seriously stir **** up, how many more people are going to die because of this man? He may be dead but this will continue in his name, he is a martyr now. I just hope to god that I make it to middle of nowhere Minnesota without any hiccups. I've been flying during terrorist threats before and it is terrifying and this time I have to do it alone

You'll be fine boo. With all of the airport security these days, even the terrorists haven't bothered to try it through the air anymore.

Even the plot in Osama's notepad cited trains.

This changes things up, I know how ridiculously small the risk is it's still scary though, you never think it is going to be you or anyone you know but I have lost people in terrorist attacks, it makes it all too real.
