              Al-Qaeda warns of attacks ‘worse than 9/11′
Wednesday, May 30th, 2007 AN AMERICAN member of al-Qaeda warned in an Internet video that United States President George W Bush should withdraw all his troops from Muslim land or face attacks worse than September 11. Adam Gadahn, a convert to Islam who has been indicted for treason by a US jury, issued a list of demands which he said were not up for negotiation. “Your failure to heed our demands means that you and your people… will experience things that will make you forget all about the horrors of September 11, Afghanistan and Iraq, and Virginia Tech,” he said in the video posted last Tuesday. “You’re losing on all fronts and losing big time,” said Gadahn, who is the English-language spokesman for Osama bin Laden’s terror network. The tape entitled “Legitimate Demands” was produced by As-Sahab, a media outfit that specialises in al-Qaeda online material. Gadahn _ sporting a headress, glasses and long beard _ said Bush had “embroiled his nation in a series of unwinnable and bloody conflicts in the Islamic world”. He also called on the United States to cease support for the “bastard state of Israel” and the “56-plus apostate regimes of the Muslim world” and to free all Muslims from its prisons. “We don’t negotiate with war criminals and baby killers like you. No, these are legitimate demands which must be met,” he said. Gadahn _ also known as Azzam al-Amriki and Azzam the American _ has appeared in several videotapes for al-Qaeda since 2004, praising the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington and threatening new terror onslaughts. In October 2006, he became the first person to be charged in the United States with treason since the World War II era. The charge carries a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum penalty of death. Gadahn, who is believed to be in Pakistan, has a US$ 1 million reward for his capture.AFP Have Your Say: Al-Qaeda warns of attacks ‘worse than 9/11′ Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
