American Jihadist
The most recognizable and outspoken voice of terrorist propaganda in war-torn Somalia has surfaced for the first time since being uncovered by FOX News as an American from Alabama. Abu Mansour al-Amriki — or Omar Hammami as he was known — appears in a video posted online Tuesday by the group al-Shabaab, which has ties to Al Qaeda and was labeled a terrorist organization by the U.S. government last year. In the new video, al-Shabaab fighters pledge their allegiance to Usama bin Laden. "I ask Allah to grant victory to the [Muslim fighters] in every land and under every sky," says one fighter in the video, excerpts of which were provided to Fox News by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). "We ask Allah that the Islamic Nation be liberated from invaders by the next [end of Ramadan] and [an Islamic state] be established by then." During the 50-minute video, titled "We Are At Your Command, Usama," al-Amriki pops up in scenes of apparent military training. In one scene, he stands in the background – a black, bulging vest strapped to his chest – while at least four people whose faces are hidden by cloth point rifles forward. Al-Amriki has been in Somalia for several years, but he first became a public figure in October 2007, when Al-Jazeera TV featured him in a report on the "common goal" of Al Qaeda and hard-line militants in Somalia. He kept his face hidden. He showed his face for the first time in April, when a video posted online featured him purportedly leading a group of al-Shabaab militants in an ambush of "the enemy." Speaking about one man killed in the fight, he said, "We need more like him, so if you can encourage more of your children and more of your neighbors, anyone around, to send people like him to this jihad, it would be a great asset for us."   · |

Re: American Jihadist
There are many American and UK born jihadists that are on the radar. some of them are currently residing inside of our own borders and in "allied" non-Muslim countries such as France, Germany, and the Netherlands (to name a few). These people are everywhere. We IN OUR OWN COUNTRIES need to be vigilant. We need tocall out our government officials and get our houses in order.We need to close our borders and impose extreme restrictions on the ones that are not already inside, and rid our homelands of those that are already.

Re: American Jihadist
I think theres a little more to this... I'm still not sure about the multiple handles either. But there seems to be some kind of doctrine involved with this. |
