Since Al Qaeda’s first attack in Aden, Yemen, took place on Dec. 29, 1992, other terrorist bombings carried out by Al Quaeda have touched different parts of the world causing thousands of deaths and injuries.

Since the news circulated that Di Tzeitung had altered the now-famous photo of the situation room taken during the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, other Photoshopped versions of the image have been cropping up all over the Internet. This one is tagged “Movie Night.”
ProducerMatthew.com has obtained a forty-minute video that shows Osama bin Laden several weeks prior to his death. The video opens with an animation showing insurgents firing rocket-propelled grenades on American tanks inside Osama bin Laden’s Abbottabad, Pakistan compound.
Unlike the video we posted earlier (released by the U.S. government), this one INCLUDES audio. This is a notable difference which emphasizes that the source of the video is a third party. The reason for this is that the U.S. government took out the audio to prevent the spread of propaganda. So keep an eye on this.

Al-Qaeda confirms bin Laden’s death
Al-Qaeda confirmed the death of Osama bin Laden Friday in an Internet message that vowed revenge on the United States and its allies, including Pakistan, according to the SITE monitoring service.
Five days after President Barack Obama announced bin Laden’s death in a U.S. raid in Pakistan, al-Qaeda vowed not to deviate from the path of armed struggle and said bin Laden’s blood “is more precious to us and to every Muslim than to be wasted in vain.”
“It (bin Laden’s blood) will remain, with permission from Allah the Almighty, a curse that chases the Americans and their agents, and goes after them inside and outside their countries,” the militant network said in a statement released on Islamist Internet forums and translated by SITE.

The Afghan Taliban also said bin Laden’s death “will give new impetus to the current jihad against invaders,” according to The Associated Press.
From The Associated Press: “Some of the first information gleaned from Osama bin Laden’s compound indicates al-Qaida considered attacking U.S. trains, but U.S. officials say they have no recent intelligence indicating such a plot is active.”
