The Al-Qaeda terror network confirmed the death of its leader Osama bin Laden Friday and swore revenge for his killing by elite US commandos, the SITE monitoring group reported.

In a statement posted on jihadist Internet forums, the Islamist group behind the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States said it would release an audio tape made by its Saudi-born founder a week before his death.

The declaration came ahead of US President Barack Obama meeting members of the famed Navy SEALs team that killed bin Laden in Abbottabad in Pakistan, and as limited protests against the death were held in parts of the Muslim world.
