L.A., Melbourne Targeted in Purported Al Qaeda Tape
Topics: War on Terror
A suspected new Al Qaeda videotape that singles out two cities -- including Los Angeles -- as likely targets for terrorist attacks surfaced over the weekend, a dose of chilling propaganda apparently timed to coincide with the fourth anniversary of Sept. 11.
The videotape was reported Sunday by ABC News, which said a copy had been delivered to its office in Pakistan on Saturday. The network also said that it had verified that the speaker was a Southern California native -- Adam Yahiye Gadahn, who is wanted by the FBI and is suspected of having delivered a similar communique for Al Qaeda last year.
Yesterday, London and Madrid. Tomorrow, Los Angeles and Melbourne, Allah willing. And this time, don't count on us demonstrating restraint or compassion," the man on the videotape, speaking in English, 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."Read more ...
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 United States and Great Britain.
