Islamist groups vowed yesterday to avenge Osama bin Laden's killing and prayed the news was not true.

"Oh God, please make this news not true ... God curse you, Obama," said one message on an Arabic-language website.
"Oh Americans ... it is still legal for us to cut your necks."
Some members of Islamist forums urged others not to believe news of the death until it was confirmed online by militant news sources. "The source of news that we trust is that which comes from the mujahideen [holy warrior]," the Ansar forum said.
"Be patient and don't spread rumours . we've asked this repeatedly, so please do not write anything on the subject."
Hours later, several of the threads discussing Bin Laden's death had been shut down.
