American Al-Qaida Begs for More US Attacks

On a video posted to a militant al-Qaida website, American-born Adam Gadahn begs Muslims in Detroit, London, and Paris to carry out terrorist attacks as duty. He claims in his video Muslims have a duty to protect Islam and carry out a jihad against Jewish and Western ideas. Gadahn grew up in California before converting and moving to Pakistan to attend a military training camp. Dawud Walid of the Council of American-Islamic Relations in the Michigan chapter called Gadahn video to be a bluff for attention and describes the Detroit area as a place where Gadahn's pleas will be greatly ignored.
