Another al Qaeda tape may be coming.
According to the SITE Institute, a private group which tracks Arabic websites, an advertisement from al Qaeda's multimedia production company, as-Sahab, started running on password-protected jihadist forums today. The short ad headlined "An Invitation to Islam" also features photos of Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri and a man who appears to be Azzam the American aka Adam Gadahn.
Developing -- stay tuned.

A CIA Guy stated in a CNN interview article that a good jihadist should invite infidels to join islam before killing them. A lot of the Arab shieks were displeased with Bin laden when he killed American infidels on 9/11 before giving them an opprotunity to convert to islam. The website ABC showed is big open message to the world to convert. Is this a sign he's ready to do more damage? The sheiks won't be morally appualled when he starts killing US infidels next time.

Al Qaeda need to respond to the fantastic events in London, which smashed the grand plan for the anniversary of 9/11. Thats all this is about. Obviously there are other terrorist attacks in the pipeline, but I wouldn't put much store on Azzam the American presence in the video. He is the front guy for Al Qaeda tv, so it is easy to put him on.
As for warning us all to convert to Islam. Osama Bin Laden has been there done that. We have been warned.

Why can't the CIA track these as-Sahab
guys who have been making these videos for years?
Many are known by name and they have mobile vans with video equipment which can be easily tracked by satellites and unmanned drones.
It seems ridiculous that we have 150,000
soldiers fighting nameless insurgents and can't put together a special forces team to follow as-Sahab to their next video shoot with the Al Qaeda leaders and kill them all.
What prevents us from getting "the real killers" instead of this endless whack-a-mole exercise all over the middle east?

Five years later and they've still got more tapes than 2 Pac......
What a joke.

Don't they traditionally put out an 'extra-special' propoganda tape every 9/11 anniversary?
This is becoming a tradition... but the real story is no attack in exactly 5 years...

Azzam al Ameriki can take his messages and shove it; even if I did convert to Islam, does the guy think I would have any sympathy for child murderers, al-Qaeda, the American government or otherwise?

Al Qaeda is using the media as a tool to sprend there propaganda and thus recruiting these religously ill people.Why in the hell are the media allowing this to happen? I blame them.Stop it!

Adam Gadahn (the California punk) will get his day for a proper bitch slapping . Having him as a player in Al Quada tells me they are desperate sociapaths and we can focus instead on popping the next Islamic pimple , Iran .

Unfornately, reading into the statements by Dr. A. and Azzam the American since late August suggest to me something "big" is in the offing, this means "BOJINKA II-The Atlantic Reprise" that was thwarted weeks ago WAS NOT, REPEAT WAS NOT the only operation in tactical development...say 5 to as many as 45 days off but before RAMADAN.....

I know this is hard to believe, Brent, but just because you see something on TV doesn't mean you have to believe in it.
