U.S. Al-Qaida member threatens foreign embassies by Ioana Madalina Tantareanu

A new video appeared Sunday in Cairo, threatening embassies and diplomats all across the Islam. The video's protagonist is a Californian, Adam Gadahn, also known as Azzan al-Amriki: "We shall continue to target you, at home and abroad, just as you target us, at home and abroad, and these spy dens and military command and control centers from which you plotted your aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq". The video also features a virtual recreation of the bomb attack that led to U.S. dilomat David Foy's death, on March 2006, in Pakistan. Gadahn is a wanted man back in the States, charged with treason, wanted by the F.B.I. since 2004 and with a price of $1 million on his head. His last appearance was in May, in a video in which he threats the U.S. with attacks far worse than those of Sept. 2001. Although the authenticity of the video was not fully confirmed by expert Laura Mansfield, it did feature the logo of as-Sahab, al-Queda's production house. On top of that, militant Web forums have been announcing a new Gadahn video for days, and even the U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group stated it had obtained a copy of the video. The video featured Gadahn in traditional Islamic red and white ceckered scarf, speaking in english and being doubled by Islamic subtitles. "Years of bitter trial and experience have revealed the danger (embassies) pose and shown that the only way to deal with them when they refuse to leave of their own accord is to expel them by force," Gadahn said. The video also featured al-Qaida's second in command, Ayman Zawahri, who outlined the crimes of western countries against the Islam. As he spoke images of U.S soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan, and mosques being destroyed were shown.
