Al-Qaeda urges attacks on Bush during Mideast tour: website
2 hours ago
DUBAI (AFP) — An American member of Al-Qaeda urged Islamist militants to target US President George W. Bush “with bombs” during his trip to the Middle East next week, in an message posted online on Sunday.
Bush should be welcomed “not by flowers and applause, but with bombs and car bombs,” said Adam Gadahn, a convert to Islam who has been indicted for treason by a US jury.
The audio message is the first Al-Qaeda warning of 2008, and follows a message from the network’s chief Osama bin Laden on December 30 in which he warned Muslims against supporting Iraq’s US-backed government and promised the “liberation of Palestine.”
The bulk of the 50-minute tape attributed to Gadahn is in English, although the call to bomb the US president is made in Arabic.
“I send this urgent call to our brothers the Mujahedin, mainly in Palestine and the Arabian Peninsula, and in the region in general, to be ready to welcome the Crusader, the butcher Bush… not by flowers and applause, but with bombs and car bombs,” he said, according to a translation.
The message was posted on a website usually used by Islamists.
Bush is due to arrive in Israel on Wednesday, the first US president to visit the Jewish state in nine years, in a bid to hasten the search for peace with the Palestinians. He is also due to visit the West Bank as well as five Arab states.
The message strongly criticises Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak and Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah who will welcome Bush to their countries as part of his eight-day tour of allies in the region.
It also contains a renewed attack on Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf over his support for the United States.
Gadahn recites verses from the Muslim holy book, the Koran, and reviews the “victories” of the Mujahedin in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Maghreb.
He ends the message with prayers “for the victory of Muslims over the Jews, the Americans and their allies.”
Gadahn — also known Azzam al-Amriki and Azzam the American — is a key Al-Qaeda propagandist and is originally from California.
He 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 on conviction and a maximum penalty of death.
Gadahn, long believed to be in Pakistan, has a one million dollar reward posted for his capture, and he appears along with bin Laden on a US “Wanted” poster featuring 26 “faces of global terrorism.”
Gadahn was born in 1978 in southern California, the son of a 1960s Jewish rock musician who later converted to Christianity and became a rural goat farmer.
His conversion to Islam came after he attended the Islamic Centre of Orange County, California, where he is believed to have come under the influence of two foreign-born Islamist radicals.
Gadahn is believed to have left California for Karachi in 1998 and gradually lost contact with relatives in the United States.

One would have to be living on a different planet (Dennis, this means you too) not to think that GWB would be a target of these scum sucking shit heads.

Oh horseshit. It’s the same wannabee jihadi meme. Strap on the vest Adam and join the ancient pedophile…
January 6th, 2008 at 9:34 amI hope we catch this little son of a bitch alive just so we can finally have a treason trial in this country. who knows, maybe there will be more to follow that one. I would pay to see him swinging from the gallows
January 6th, 2008 at 9:40 amI’m so scared.
January 6th, 2008 at 9:53 amTake off the rags so we can see your face…
Guess that would require a pair. Something he doesn’t have.
January 6th, 2008 at 10:53 amHi Adam,
Really sorry you didn’t make the little league team, we were just kidding about you having no balls.
signed, “the gang”
ps—f**k off and die, punk.
January 6th, 2008 at 12:11 pmI read about this first on the ABC News web site, and I see this ass-hat is referred to by ABC News as “American Al Qaeda leader Adam Gadahn.” This fat little fuck-tard is a leader??
This tells me a lot about ABC News, and this is also why I don’t watch or pay much attention to ABC News. Now I know ABC is the American arm of our enemy…. what a bunch of enema bags.
January 6th, 2008 at 12:36 pmI’d arrest his parents…and waterboard them until he turned himself in
January 6th, 2008 at 1:13 pmIt’s high noon and I’m calling Adam Gadhan out!
If you read this site, you puke, you and I should meet. I’m looking forward to choking the…
He’s just another coward, hiding behind his head scarf, and he’ll never come out of his hole. He is supported by his parents and friends in Calfornia. Last year, Fox News did a report that quoted his father who said that he “supported his son.”
These guys are almost bullet-proof when it comes to stopping their mouths and shutting down their media outlets.
But, I will not be surprised if some type of attack against the President is not, at the very least, uncovered and thwarted.
I’d still like to cave his head in; after I fed him a bowl of sausage and a plate of bacon the hard way.
January 6th, 2008 at 1:41 pmLittle Adam Pearlman, the Jewish kid from the OC seems to be upset his arab cave dweller butt buddies only got him a fresh goat for Hannakah.
January 6th, 2008 at 1:41 pmThis little sissy-boy is a non-issue.
Look at how effeminate he is in his long hippy-hair and candy-assed attempt at a beard……What a pussy!

Doc I like your style
January 6th, 2008 at 5:29 pmAll Pubey needs now is a bitchen lightsaber to swing around.
January 6th, 2008 at 6:01 pmPres. Bush sort of reminds me of Benizir Bhutto. The lady got herself killed by taking unnecessary risks. Everyone else in her car was unhurt–she’s the one that decided to poke her head out of the rooftop. Same with Pres. Bush. Why on earth would he visit Gaza/West Bank? Is he out of his mind? His secret service people must be livid.
January 6th, 2008 at 7:43 pmIs it me, or is the little Yankey Terrorist fuck getting fatter?
What is it with these terrorist “leaders” and getting fatter and uglier? Yeah, as if some ethereal virgin is gonna want one of these fat bastards flopping sweat all over them for eternity … But then, you DON’T see these fat fucks “giving it up for the cause”, now do ya … No, always some poor boney-assed slob dressed in Goodwill garb with filth under his finger nails … Nice game these Muzzie “leaders” got going …
