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."
He nauseates the US.
He probably meets his own twisted definition of "non-combatant".
Raghead.
Is this a new video?
We don't want him apprehended. This guy is a CIA plant... he's sending info back to Bush and Rove. As soon as he gets close to OBL, the trap will be sprung. Take my word on it.
Not really. There are all sorts of celebrities who can "cross over" and be considered TRAITORS.
Certainly Jane Fonda's propaganda tour posing on an enemy anti-aircraft gun in Vietnam was designed to provide aid and comfort to the enemy. As was John Kerry's illegal meeting with Viet Cong in France.
Being a traitor doesn't make you special and it certainly doesn't make you a hero.
Never mind.
Note to self: Read entire article before posting.
Spread the word that he's a CIA operative paid by Israel and they will cut his head off FOR us.
A liberal upbringing.
This punk white boy isn't very convincing in his gangsta looking turban ghetto look. I would love to shove a big slab of bacon down his throat and I bet you a dollar to a donut that he would scarf it down. This guy is gay. He has all the old Rock Hudson movies that he shares with all the other turban wearing fudgepacking slobs there in their friggin cave.
HEY shaZZAM you live in a CAVE. A hole in the ground. A CAVE.
I bet he was picked on when he went to school. What happened to that other punk that went there and fought and then tried to deny it after he was caught.?
This one will turn out to be a coward who will wimp out too when caught.
Looks like a school yard bully.
I don't know rr.
I just get a blank page when I hit the video link.

Here are the current videos I have here at this link:

I'll look around to see if anything new came in.
Sounds like one of those third rate magicians that used to appear at carnivals.
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
Yep, by bombing your butt straight to 'allah'.
It did that for me at first also, but then I clicked on the "videos' tab on the left side of the screen and it sent me to a page listing all recent videos. I clicked on the icon for this one and it played just fine.
WARNING: Lingerie video plays immediately after :-)
Really? He doesn't look the type. He looks more like he embraced Islam because he didn't feel like he belonged anywhere else. (Islam will always accept you if you are willing to put on an explosive vest.)
