"Getting rid of bin Laden is good for the cause of peace worldwide but what counts is to overcome the discourse and the methods -- the violent methods -- that were created and encouraged by bin Laden and others in the world," PA spokesman Ghassan Khatib said.

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said it was a "major, mega landmark event marking the end of a person who clearly was involved in acts of terror and destruction."

In the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, Haniyeh accused the United States of pursuing a policy based on "oppression and the shedding of Arab and Muslim blood".

"We condemn the assassination and the killing of an Arab holy warrior," he said.
