American Al Queda Spokesman Arrested

There are unconfirmed reports that Adam Gadahn, an American-born spokesman for al Queda, has been arrested. Gadahn, also known as "Azzam the American," is said to have been hiding in Karachi, the financial capital of Pakistan, where "[al Queda] leaders feel safe." Gadahn moved from California to Pakistan in 1998, and renounced his citizenship in 2008. Gadahn was quoted as saying,

"It is rapidly becoming clear that this already-hot global battle is about to get even hotter... This is a war which knows no international borders and no single battleground, and that's why I am calling on every honest and vigilant Muslim in the countries of the Zionist-Crusader alliance in general and America, Britain and Israel in particular to prepare to play his due role in responding to and repelling the aggression of the enemies of Islam."

We can see, when Gadahn claims that this battle "knows no international borders," that he is very upset with the violation of sovereignty that has been practiced throughout the "war on terrorism." He calls on a similar plan of action by summoning Muslims from all over the world to revolt against the "enemies of Islam." While Gadahn has made quite a name for himself in the States, it is unclear whether he has a following in the Middle-Eastern Muslim community, and of the extent of his influence. Nonetheless, it comes as a shocker to most US citizens and residents that someone could preform such an act of treason, and help the enemy of the war we are fighting. It will be very interesting to hear the proceedings of this case, assuming he was, in fact, arrested.

I'll keep you guys updated when reports are confirmed.
