The man is named Adam Gadahn, who is born in California. Gadahn had urged the Islamist militants to attack President Bush with bombs when he visits the Middle East.
“Welcome him not with flowers and applause but with bombs and traps,” Gadahn had said on a video posted on the internet on Sunday. It was a fifty-minute video in English and directed towards the American public.
He is known as Azzam the American. Most of the tape which was titled “An Invitation to Reflection and Repetence” was a detailed explanation on US foreign policy and Western Christian civilization along with their defeat by Islam and the Muslims.
“The first question Americans might ask is: has American rally been defeated? The answer is yes and on all fronts,” he said on the tape.
Gadahn said: “American and coalition officials have stated repeatedly that they are unable and unwilling to face the mujahedeen in Afghanistan and Iraq militarily but are still trying to win the battle for hearts and minds, which they have also lost in spectacular fashion despite the equally spectacular amounts they have spent in pay-offs and propaganda.”
Pakistan, Chechnya, North Africa, and Somalia were listed by him as areas where the US was losing against Islamist groups.
Gadahn is a convert and is to be the first American to be charged with treason ever since the World War II era. It is believed that he is hiding out in Pakistan.
The FBI has been looking for him ever since 2004. There is currently a one-million dollar cash reward for any information leading to Gadahn’s arrest.
Before converting to Islam, Gadahn was from a Jewish-Christian family.
