Researchers report cyber scammers set online traps for people searching and sharing information about the bin Laden only hours after the news hit that the terrorist had been killed. Top search results related to bin Laden were used to redirect people to malware pages.

"When people are searching on Google and they're clicking on top results, when news events are happening, they need to keep in mind that the Web is still a wild place," said Kurt Baumgartner, senior security researcher for security firm, Kaspersky Labs.

In searches for "Osama bin Laden," in Google Images, one of the highest results could direct traffic to a malicious website ready to infect their computers. And, in a particularly vile maneuver, one of these nasty scams convinces users their device is already infected with a virus and then seeks payment for fake anti-virus software -- a triple threat of trickery, paying to fix something that isn't wrong in the first place, and then having users' credit card information for future misdeeds.

Facebook is often helpful in perpetuating the scams using friend lists on users' accounts. A fake BBC link promising live video is luring users to unknowingly post the link to their Facebook account, adding to its exposure and credibility.

As Facebook users "like" ads, they inadvertently expose their contacts to the criminals' grasp and help the crooks collect email and other valuable information, and according to Sophos security firm, they even unwitting pay the criminals with each future click.

Avoiding these scams boils down to awareness and knowledge of the hallmarks of the scammers. Along with promises of lewd or shocking content, many advertise a voyeuristic opportunity to see who likes or doesn't like the intended victim, and "see who viewed your profile!" continues its reign as a favorite scam.

Common sense tips like looking closely before clicking on anything remotely odd and hovering cursors over links to check the addresses match, are easy enough to employ.

And in this particular case, as of this writing, no official photos or videos of Bin Laden's body have been released, so news to the contrary should trigger skepticism.

The terrorist's death is not the only news to be exploited. Scammers recently used Twilight's Edward Cullen in a similar scheme on Facebook. Twitter users were treated to a spam blast earlier this month, exposing them to requests for survey information from unscrupulous marketing firms, and offers to see who had "unfollowed" them.

Mojne samo o Islamu i obicajima! Mozes o tome da je bio vanzemaljac, ali mojne o Islamu!

“Finding a country willing to accept the remains of the world's most wanted terrorist would have been difficult,” an unnamed US official told the Associated Press. “So the US decided to bury him at sea.”

White House officials insisted that appealing to countries to accept bin Laden’s body for burial would have violated the swift burial Islamic law prescribes. One unnamed country that the US asked to take his body – widely believed to be Saudi Arabia – refused.

Denying bin Laden a ground burial also prevents his grave from becoming a shrine that would motivate more jihadis – or a site that would invite abuse and retribution from his enemies.

Many US Muslims and US-based scholars, including New York University chaplain Khalid Latif, support the administration’s decision.

“The decision to bury bin Laden at sea exemplifies for us how sharia is meant to function as it takes into consideration what would be best for society on a whole through a lens of compassion and mercy,” Imam Latif wrote in a CNN column. “Who would want this man buried next to their loved one?” he asked, adding that ground burials would give enemies or admirers opportunities for abuse or glorification.

“No opportunity should exist by which they could glorify bin Laden in his death, either in the immediate future or in years to come,” he wrote.

s vjerske strane je postupak neopravdan, jer nije motivisan nuzdom vec politikom... po islamu bi se pokojnik mogao sahraniti na moru samo ako se ne moze stici na kopno u razumnom roku... kazu da su ga spustili u more s neke niske palube nosaca aviona... nidje kreativnosti, ja bi ga makar ispalio s katapulta, da se raja zabavi...

a bila bi nekako furka da su ga sahranili negdje u pustinji u americi... taman da one budaletine sto traze nlo-e po mojaveu imaju sta raditi kad ne gledaju u nebo...
