According to AFP, the statement which was posted on militant Web sites contains the following:
"We also stress that the blood of the mujahid Sheikh Osama bin Laden, may Allah have mercy upon him, weighs more to us and is more precious to us and to every Muslim than to be wasted in vain.
"We call upon our Muslim people in Pakistan, on whose land Sheikh Osama was killed, to rise up and revolt to cleanse this shame that has been attached to them by a clique of traitors and thieves who sold everything to the enemies.
"(We call upon them) to rise up strongly and in general to cleanse their country (Pakistan) from the filth of the Americans who spread corruption in it."
The statement also said a voice recording that Bin Laden made a week before his death would be released soon, Reuters reported.
Osama bin Laden was killed early morning on Monday in a raid by the US Navy SEALs in bin Laden's secret hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
