Tape Released: American al Qaeda Member Warns of Attacks
ABC Good Morning America ^ | September 11, 2005 | BRIAN ROSS

Posted on 09/11/2005 7:20:45 AM PDT by Kaslin

In an apparent Sept. 11 communiqué broadcast on ABC News, an al Qaeda operative threatens new attacks against cities in the US and Australia.

"Yesterday, London and Madrid. Tomorrow, Los Angeles and Melbourne, God willing. At this time, don't count on us demonstrating restraint or compassion," the tape warns. "We are Muslims. We love peace, but peace on our terms, peace as laid down by Islam, not the so-called peace of occupiers and dictators."

In response to the threats against their city, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the city's police department released a statement this morning. They admitted to Los Angeles being a target of terrorism, but said there are no known, credible threats against the city and labeled the tape an instrument of al Qaeda propaganda.

"The statement broadcast this morning on Good Morning America should come as no surprise to anyone. The statement was meant to instill fear, and fear is the most important weapon the terrorists possess."

The taped diatribe lasts 11 minutes. Like past tapes, it appears to include the same graphics and production techniques recognized by U.S. officials as part of al Qaeda's standard propaganda production. In this tape, the speaker levels threats against the U.S. and Great Britain.

"Don't believe the lies of the liars at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and 10 Downing Street," Gadahn insists. "They have dispatched your sons and daughters to die lonely deaths in the burning deserts of Iraq and the unforgiving mountains of Afghanistan."

Only a few years ago, Adam Gadahn was a southern California teenager with interests in the environment and heavy metal music

His family says he converted to Islam at an Orange County mosque. There, officials say Gadahn came under the influence of militants who took him to Pakistan.

He has since emerged as an al Qaeda propaganda tool. His latest message warns Americans an attack is imminent unless the United States stops its operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

American intelligence officials believe the man who appears on the tape to be Adam Gadahn of Orange County, Calif. Last year, Gadahn delivered a similar taped communiqué for al Qaeda. That tape was later deemed authentic.

On the new tape, delivered to ABC News, Gadahn's message contains a very pointed al Qaeda threat against Los Angeles and Melbourne.

"We love peace, but when the enemy violates that peace or prevents us from achieving it, then we love nothing better than the heat of battle, the echo of explosion, and the slitting of the throats of the infidels," the tape says.

As for the rest of the tape, the young man attempts to dispel any rumors or reports of bin Laden being deceased. He closes his tape by invoking the names of the September 11th hijackers.

"Everyone of us is Mohammed Atta," he says.

ABC News' Chris Isham, David Scott, Gretchen Peters, Krista Kjellman, and Avni Patel contributed to this report.

The Koran sold in America is a watered down version designed to indocinate the young liberal minds in our schools and colleges. Ask any Muslim if you were a friend and he tried to convert you and you said no thanks ask what it says in the real Koran "You kill anyone that does convert, it is your responibilty to Allah"

Trust me on this one...the beautiful, peace filled, we love Koran sold at Borders is not the version you would get in Iran because they know people would be appalled if they knew how hate filled it is and how hate filled the Islamic followers are. They come to our country to exploit our jobs, freedoms and act as your friends but in private they hate you and would like to kill all that do not bow to the highly dysfunctional Allah...you know the one with 11 year old wives, out of respect I would not bring his other sexual activities.

If you have children be careful that is their target in all grades, just like Jihad Johnny they want our young and don't be surprised when your kid wants to tell how beautiful Islam really is...it is a hate filled relgion hyjacked by people that think nothing hacking off the heads of those that do bow to their way. I would be headless because I will never bow except to the only God son of David and my leader Jesus of Jerusalem my savior son of God that sits at his right hand but not for long his return is soon.

The real Koran attacks Jesus and tries to fake his feats to impress...no original thought there he mocks Jesus in the real Koran...jealous of the real thing.
All we have to do is have a deep faith that God will proptect us and he will...Three centuries ago the Islamic radicals tried the same thing, now they want our society because they are so far behind in any and all of our industries...pure envy...give our society to the Islamic Militants and this country would stop working in 90 days.

So next time you see a very subtle Islamic anything remeber these people that tell you to your face they like you but when in the privacy of a mosque they plot to kill you and take your children's minds.
I would die for the only God son of David Father to Jesus...I want nothing to do with Islam not even the food.

"We are Muslims. We love peace, but peace on our terms, peace as laid down by Islam, not the so-called peace of occupiers and dictators."

Now where have we heard that sort of phrase before......hmmmmmm..... oOH Yeah! We just want peace, peace in our time; a piece of the Sudetenland, a piece of Rhineland, a piece of France, a piece of Poland, a piece of Russia.....

Here's a toast to your meeting the same inglorious fate.

"Don't believe the lies of the liars at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and 10 Downing Street,"

Can't quite figure out if this is Al Frankin or Michael Moore.

We are not a credal nation, that's a holocaust myth invented out of whole cloth in the 1960s. America had an identity, and what's happening to the people who made that identity is a form of genocide. Adam Gadahn is a product of that process. What will be gained when America is 10, 15, or 20% Muslim?

You mean the loser who couldn't find a job in his own country so he decided to be a terrorist?

No w we should know what CAIR and its toher terror supporting friends mean when "Islam is peaceful"...they only like peace on their terms i.e on Islamic terms not mutually accepted peace. I hope Laren Hughes reads this as she seem to reach out to CAIR and ISNA

With all due respect to your respons ...bull pucky. The man is dead and gone. They want him to be a hero but he's not. If they say he is dead they are dead. Plain and simple. This way they have a couple yahoos make tapes every now and then to stir the pot.

Everyone has their opinion but in my opinion He's in Barney Rubble's neigborhood. Wilmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Just googled "crescent."

Today crescent has become a very common symbol of Muslim identity. It has become a Muslim emblem in the minds of Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

UGH!

This is like making a holocaust memorial in the shape of a swastika.

This is exactly right.

People of this country can no longer distinguish good from evil.

Maybe, just maybe, we got him now; and this is a tape produced to make his buddies think he's still operational. Wishful thinking.
