More than one hundred people held special prayers for [Osama bin Laden][1] in
the central [Pakistan][2] city after he was killed by [United States][3]
forces in northwestern garrison town of Abbottabad on Monday.
During the service, Hafiz Abdul Ghaffar, a local cleric, praised the deceased
leader of the [al-Qaeda][1] network.
He preached: "He fought a jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan where he
crushed communism. Then he fought against America that calls itself the only
super power of the world. Osama's sacrifice is a milestone."
After the funeral prayers the participants, mainly ordinary Pakistani
citizens, started to chant anti-US slogans and burned an American flag.
