A videotape televised on Sunday purportedly from a U.S.-member of al Qaeda threatened Los Angeles and Melbourne, Australia, on the fourth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
ABC News said it had received the video in Pakistan. It reported the masked speaker appears to be Adam Gadahn, from southern California, who threatens attacks on the two cities, "Allah willing," and warns that the attackers will show no compassion.
"Yesterday, London and Madrid. Tomorrow, Los Angeles and Melbourne," he said.
"We love peace, but peace on our terms," the speaker said.
Gadahn was believed to have been the young American who appeared in another threatening tape about year ago.
ABC said the young man apparently converted to Islam at an Orange County, California, mosque as a teen-ager.
Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton told ABC News his city has "very robust counter terrorism" steps in place and was already on a heightened state of alert because of next month's Jewish holidays.
24 ping!
And the reason that this Gadahn slime is not is jail is.............?
Stupid fools. The LA area is so big, most wouldn't notice anything.
KMA!
Why is he masked? Isn't he proud to be apart of evil? Or is he afraid of being identified as the kid that got beat up all the time in fourth hour? "Hey, check it out! There's snot nose!"
Islam really is the Religion of Peace. It all depends on what the meaning of "peace" really is.
Islam means peace! /sarcasm off
Wonder what L.A.'s evacuation plan looks like.
Dear Mr. Gadahn,
Los Angeles is in California, which is a blue state. Please recheck your map, and I'm sure you will agree that there has been an inadvertant mistake.
Yours,
Mayor Villaraigosa
"Yesterday, London and Madrid. Tomorrow, Los Angeles and Melbourne,the day after, Mecca and Medina " Tet said.
Their terms?
Here are their terms.
You must choose one, and only one.
See?
The "Religion of Peace".
Get it?
.
After the local/political fiasco of Katrina in NOLA, I'm not so confident. There's a lot of riff-raff in LA that could get out of hand if a terrorist attack were significant enough to disrupt the LA daily routine, public services, etc.
Well, the day is almost half over? Where's this big attack?
Stupid long haired, bed wetting hippie. We have homegrown nutballs here that are more of a threat, and more capable than this little cry baby.

What happened to the days when parents would deprogram thier kids when cultists brainwashed them?
"Embracing diversity" my ass.
When you get to the Slosson cut-off, stop get out and cut off your slosson?
Hm, I think I figured it out. Islam really is the religion of peace!
The peace of the grave.
