Muslims Threaten Massive Terrorist Attack on USA |

Alleged American Al Qaeda Threatens U.S. Attacks
Azzam the American: 'Streets of America Will Run Red With Blood'
By BRIAN ROSS
A man describing himself as an American member of al Qaeda says a new
wave of terror attacks against the United States could come "at any
moment," according to a videotape obtained by ABC News.
The tape was acquired by ABC News last Friday from a source known to
have Taliban and al Qaeda contacts in the tribal region of Pakistan.
ABC paid the source $500 in transportation fees.
The man on the tape is identified only as "Azzam the American." U.S.
officials say they had not previously known of the nom de guerre. His
face is never fully visible and he makes no reference to where in the
United States he might have lived.
And he warned that Sept. 11 was only the beginning.
"People of America, I remind you of the weighty words of our leaders,
Osama bin Laden and Dr. Ayman al-Zawahri, that what took place on
Sept. 11 was but the opening salvo of the global war on America," said
Azzam. "And that Allah willing, the magnitude and ferocity of what is
coming your way will make you forget all about Sept. 11."
"No, my fellow countrymen you are guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty. You
are as guilty as Bush and Cheney. You're as guilty as Rumsfeld and
Ashcroft and Powell," he says in what he calls his message to America.
"After decades of American tyranny and oppression, now it's your turn
to die. Allah willing, the streets of America will run red with blood
matching drop for drop the blood of America's victims."
Azzam makes references to several American officials, including 9/11
Commission Chairman Tom Kean, and even refers to the controversial
remarks made by comedian Bill Maher about the cowardice of the U.S.
launching cruise missiles compared with terrorist suicide attacks.
Senior administration officials told ABC News tonight that copies of
the tape are being provided to all 13 current and former
administration figures mentioned by name in the tape, and that the
tape is being shown to captured al Qaeda leaders in U.S. custody to
see if they can identify the man on the tape.
While CIA officials say they have not been able to authenticate the
75-minute tape, an agency spokesman says it "appears to have been
produced by al Qaeda's media organization, al Sahab productions." The
tape is marked with the same logo and graphics seen on previous videos
released by al Qaeda.
"A member of al Qaeda who professes to be a U.S. citizen was always
coveted and looked for by al Qaeda," said Jack Cloonan, a former FBI
agent who interviewed a number of captured al Qaeda members and is now
an ABC News consultant. Cloonan said he believed the tape to be
authentic.
U.S. officials believe there are several Americans working with al
Qaeda, including Adam Gadahn, a former Southern California student who
is wanted for questioning by the FBI. U.S. intelligence officials say
the voice on the tape does not match Gadahn's or that of any Americans
suspected of being part of al Qaeda.

Adam(the first man) who's name rhymes with Saddaam is wanted for
questioning by the FBI. But, he must be considered to be packing a WMD.

I saw the 'terror threat' tape on CNN this afternoon. Laughably
preposterous. Not even a Middle-east accent. More like a New Jersey accent.
I bet it's some fag down in the basement of the Pentagon, trying to scare
the population into doing something stupid -- like voting for Bush.

I guess you missed the part where he SAID he was an American.
He's not trying to hide that, so what's your point?

He did say he was an American; if he is, he may be a naturalized "citizen"
or the child of immigrants. Linguists appear to have determined that
although he speaks with an American accent, "Assam" isn't a native speaker.

What's his point? He has no point. The vast majority of these
nitwits have no point. They either respond with non sequiturs,
or some other absurdity.
Note the poster is from Canada -- a country with no military,
who live in peace and security thanks to the blood and treasure
of the United States.
And he put terror threat in quotes, as if there is no terror
threat. Perhaps when the CN Tower is destroyed, along with
the people within it, he will open his eyes. Or not.
"We have not reached parity with them. We have the right to kill 4
million Americans -- 2 million of them children -- and to exile twice
as many and wound and cripple hundreds of thousands. Furthermore, it
is our right to fight them with chemical and biological weapons, so as
to afflict them with the fatal maladies that have afflicted the
Muslims because of the [Americans'] chemical and biological weapons."
