Armed and dangerous ... Adam Gadahn

THE al-Qaeda terrorist who was this week charged with treason by the US has issued a chilling video threat to Britain.

 

Adam Gadahn, also known as 'Azzam the American' vowed in a video message that raids by British terror cops would do nothing to "prevent the Muslims from exacting revenge on behalf of their persecuted brothers and sisters".

Gadahn is so feared in the US, the FBI has placed him on its Most Wanted Terrorists List and offered a $1million reward for information leading to his arrest.

FBI agents warn that Gadahn should be considered armed and dangerous.

Forest Gate and Belmarsh will not prevent the Muslims exacting revenge...

The 28-year-old is originally from California, but is thought to be in hiding in Pakistan.

Last month, days before the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 World Trade Centre attacks, Gadahn appeared in a video with al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri and was seen taunting the US about the tragedy.

And he callously praised the hijackers behind the attacks as "dedicated, strong-willed, highly motivated individuals with a burning concern for Islam and Muslims".

In the video, Gadahn says: "What I am saying is that when we bomb their cities and civilians, like they bomb ours, or destroy their infrastructure and means of transportation, like they destroy ours, or kidnap their non-combatants, like they kidnap ours, no sane Muslims should shed tears for them.

"And they should blame no one but themselves, because they are the ones who started this dirty war and they the ones who will end it, by ending the aggression against Islam and Muslims, by pulling out of our region, and by keeping their hands out of our affairs.

"And until and unless they do that, neither Forest Gate-style police raids, nor Belmarsh, or Guantanamo prison cells, nor the mosques and Imams advisory councils will be able to prevent the Muslims from exacting revenge on behalf of their persecuted brothers and sisters."

Neil Doyle, al-Qaeda expert and author of Terror Base UK, said: "Azzam regularly refers to the UK and that suggests that he is in contact with operatives and supporters in this country.

"The US move could backfire, as naming him as a traitor will only enhance his status within the network.

"There's been much speculation over his exact role, but it's become clear that he's at least playing a leading role in al-Qaeda propaganda efforts.

"It looks like he is in line for further promotion, as he's now becoming known as the voice of al-Qaeda."

I like how you think. ;)

[wolfcreek]

At this point, I would love to see this guy get captured more than OBL. They would love him at Super Max!

[Twinkie]

That is not hardly likely. If that should happen, I will gladly eat my hat - provided it is a chocolate hat. - Nah, more likely he is just a legitimate "convert" to the dark side. . .

[Stoat]

At this point, I would love to see this guy get captured more than OBL. They would love him at Super Max!

He thinks that he's Oh So Hard....he has no clue.  Ten minutes at your suggested location or with any surviving family members of Islamofascist terror victims would educate him as to what pain and suffering truly means.

If we're betting on outcomes re the level of damage inflicted on this trash by an existing scummy prison lag vs. the honorable parent of a terror victim or soldier, I might be wanting to put my money on the parent.

[wideawake]

LOL! He actually looks to be in the best shape of his life - running from NATO probably keeps you fit.

Until they catch you.

[piasa]

He looks like one of the pathetic burnouts I went to school with.

[elhombrelibre]

We don't fear him, but we expect him to play the Tokyo Rose of this war (or the Jane Fonda). He's an unmanly geek who went off the deep end and is now for the first time enjoying some attention. He's probably a boyfriend of some high ranking al Qaeda member.

[wideawake]

Wouldn't matter if they loved or hated him.

I believe SuperMax prisoners interact with other human beings less than 15 minutes a day.

They certainly are not able to physically contact anyone.

"The US move could backfire, as naming him as a traitor will only enhance his status within the network.

Typical leftist claptrap like attacking our enemies ONLY MAKES more of them and maximum punishment of the guilty only makes more criminals.

God Almighty spare me these fools!

[wideawake]

Why would we care if his status were "enhanced" within al-Qaeda?

Why would that result in a disadvantage for the US?

I hate journalists.

[puppypusher]

Ditto.Gadahn is not feared,the U.S.Government has him on the Ten most wanted list for one reason only and that's to prosecute the bum for treason and numerous other charges.

Fear has Nothing to do with it.

[95 Bravo]

"...who wouldn't pay for the chance to go three rounds with this punk..."
Yeah- three rounfds of 5.56mm ball ammo- in the head.

[puppypusher]

I also meant to add what a Girly-man Gadahn is.That beared and costume he wears does not change that fact.

Hey "Azzam",

I'd like to rip that filthy rag off your head and strangle you with it, just to give you a head start on your eternal reward in Satan's realm. When you get there, say hello to his right hand man, Mohammed.

Just remember, there's a million-buck price on your head now. Next time your buddies want to buy some weapons they're sure to remember that.

Worst wishes,
Max in Utah

It also says a lot about Al-Qaeda as an organization that he can become so prominent in it.

His writings show that he is not particularly bright, he has little in the way of training for any serious responsibility - be it financial, security or otherwise, by his own admission he has horrible interpersonal skills, he is not exactly charismatic or imposing either.

His only credential is that he is a loon who happened to be born in a country that Al-Qaeda hates.

Compare him to Zacarias Moussaoui - any loser no matter how stupid is allowed to have a place in this organization.

The USA armed forces turn down better quality individuals than these losers every day.

The only things that Al-Qaeda has going for it are (a) its sneaky sympathizers and (b) its complete lack of compunction.

Otherwise, their cadres would be completely useless and the WOT would have been over within days.

The number one enemy of the US is our compunction.

"And until and unless they do that, neither Forest Gate-style police raids, nor Belmarsh, or Guantanamo prison cells, nor the mosques and Imams advisory councils will be able to prevent the Muslims from exacting revenge on behalf of their persecuted brothers and sisters."

Yep, puffed up macho death cult members are good at revenge. When you get past revenge, not much.

Too bad their wives and children live in creepy, poor, backwater cesspools. Maybe that's why they have so many laws to restrict their women. What woman would want to look like a bundle of rags - and live like it's the stone ages?

If the women were free, these creepy men would not have one woman between them. Best to keep them broken, uneducated and sacred - anything less and they would leave.

Death cult members should spend more time building a society worth living in rather than seeking revenge on those who do so much better job of everything -- the cult member's insane jealousy is showing...

[popdonnelly]

So some stupid pig puts on a turban, and we're supposed to be afraid of him? I can't wait until the guy gets wasted, along with as many of his fellow idiots as possible.

[hardworking]

Perhaps the Brits can borrow a white flag from the Frenchies.

[hardworking]

HEY shaZZAM you live in a CAVE. A hole in the ground. A CAVE.

Now, now. He's a California boy who's just 'gone back to nature' like any good liberal would do.

[hardworking]

I bet he was picked on when he went to school

Well, judging by the photo, it's unlikely he had a hot date for the prom...
