Believe it or not,now you can also kill al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden 8212; but virtually.

Thanks to a free online game,people are now being given the chance to take part in the daring US special forces raid on bin Ladens secret hideout a week after he was killed in real life in Abbottabad in Pakistan,The Sun reported.

In a quickly drawn up replica of bin Ladens compound,players arrive by Black Hawk just like the US Navy Seals did only seven days ago to finally avenge the deaths of the terror leaders victims.

Episode 107 of the game,known as KumaWar,was quickly generated to reflect the latest development in the war on terror. In it,a grey-haired bin Laden is hunted by the US elite special forces squad which pumped two bullets into his head and chest last Sunday.

Gamers can lead the elite unit into a virtual version of his guarded hideaway in Abbottabad and claim the kill for themselves.

Other episodes of the game have featured the invasion of Afghanistan,the hunt for hanged Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and the search for weapons of mass destruction.

Kumas CEO Keith Halper told the Hollywood Reporter: We read the same published reports as everyone else,though I suspect with a different eye.
