CAIRO, Egypt - An American member of al-Qaida threatened foreign diplomats and embassies across the Islamic world in a new video Sunday, saying they would targeted as "spy dens."
The 1 hour, 17 minute video also featured a computer-animated recreation of a March 2006 suicide attack that killed U.S. diplomat David Foy in Karachi, Pakistan, and testimony from a man who claimed to be the bomber.
"We shall continue to target you, at home and abroad, just as you target us, at home and abroad, and these spy dens and military command and control centers from which you plotted your aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq," said Adam Gadahn, a Californian also known as Azzan al-Amriki.
Gadahn was charged with treason in the United States last fall and has been wanted since 2004 by the FBI, which is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to his arrest or conviction. He last appeared in a video in May, threatening the United States with an attack worse than those of Sept. 11, 2001.
The authenticity of the video, which was first carried on the Web site of terrorism expert Laura Mansfield, could not be independently confirmed but it featured the logo of al-Qaida's media production house, as-Sahab.
The U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group also said it had obtained a copy of the video. Militant Web forums have been announcing the imminent arrival of a new video featuring Gadahn for days.
In the video, which had Arabic subtitles, Gadahn wore a traditional Arab red-and-white checkered scarf and spoke in English. It was not known when the footage was filmed because he did not describe any specific events.
"Years of bitter trial and experience have revealed the danger (embassies) pose and shown that the only way to deal with them when they refuse to leave of their own accord is to expel them by force," Gadahn said.
Al-Qaida's No. 2, Ayman Zawahri, also appeared in the terror group's latest video, outlining what he described as the crimes of Western countries against the Islamic world. As he spoke, the video showed images of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as mosques being destroyed.
The March 2006 attack that killed Foy, which was claimed by al-Qaida, also killed three Pakistanis and wounded about 50 others a day before President Bush made an official visit to Pakistan.

They understand and fear only overwhelming force. They translate the desire to settle things amicably as weakness on the part of their enemies, i.e., us. How hard is that to understand? (Evidently in D.C. it’s well nigh impossible.)
Why do they make a new video with old threats?

It’s not ratings sweeps week, is it?
They got their butts handed to them in Washington, well, for 6 more months anyway.. just trying to reassert their “stand”.
I wonder if Al Qaeda has something like a Nielson Ratings system set up. :)
Probably.
A lot of folks would seek to portray them as some backward movement,, but modern technology is not above them, considering how they have and are using it.
American embassy is to “spy den” and militant mosque is to “arms depot”

Screw adam and his pig idol. May they rot in hell where allah is calling their name.
Here's a guy who has "loser" written all over his pathetic ass.
I'm certain that he feels like a big man since joining a bunch of other losers, and probably fancies himself as the next bin Laden.
Perhaps he's a little too slow to realize that his only value to the other losers is simply because he's "American".
A useful idiot...Adam Sheehan.
Message to the California fruitcake turned goat-h$%per:
You keep trying to kill us and our guys will keep trying to kill you.
I bet I know how that turns out.
There needs to be a team , and I hope there is , dedicated to tracking down and physically terminating these aholes like Adam Gadahn .
No mercy , no quarter and no survivors
