It only took one day for Fox News to identify the ex-Navy SEAL responsible for a new book on the death of Osama bin Laden. It took even less time for Al Qaeda-affiliated websites to begin distributing his name and image while calling for his "destruction."

As NBC News' Mike Brunker reports, "several militant Islamic websites" such as the Al-Fidaa forum, which Al Qaeda uses to distribute its propaganda, have been targeting Matt Bissonnette, the 36-year-old author of No Easy Day, a firsthand account of the killing of the Al Qaeda leader. The report mentions photographs of Bissonnette posted on the forum but is very slim on details. Reaching out to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which monitors online jihadists, Richard Wachtel offered more details on how Bissonnette is being targeted.

One of the forums with Bissonnette's image is headlined "First Image of One of the Dogs Who Killed Bin Laden," according to MEMRI's Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor Project. It vowed that "We ask Allah to kill him sooner, not later." Another commenter said "Oh Allah, make him a living example, and let us witness his dark day." Other comments were of a similar nature asking Allah to claim vengeance for bin Laden's death.
