Gadahn death rumors continue to surface
.longwarjournal.org ^ | March 6, 2008 | Bill Roggio

Posted on 03/07/2008 3:24:56 AM PST by Dog

As US and Pakistani intelligence attempted to determine who else might have been killed in the Jan. 29 US airstrike in North Waziristan that took the life of al Qaeda commander Abu Laith al Libi, a new, unconfirmed report claimed Adam Gadahn, Laith's American deputy, died in the strike, as did two Kuwaitis and four other terrorists.

Sources inside Pakistan told the Nine/Eleven Finding Answers Foundation that US traitor Adam Gadahn was killed, along with Abu Suhail, Laith's former deputy; Hamza al Somali, who is presumably of Australian or US nationality; Abu Ubayda Tawari Rakhis al Mutairi, a Kuwaiti national; Abu Adil al Kuwaiti, another Kuwaiti; and at least three Uzbek nationals. "It should be noted that the death of the American Gadahn has not yet been officially confirmed," the Nine/Eleven Finding Answers Foundation reported.

Adnkronos International said Feb. 5 that Abu Adil al Kuwaiti was reported killed in the North Waziristan airstrike, along with Abu Obeida Tawari al Obeidi, a Saudi.

Speculation about Gadahn's death surfaced immediately after the airstrike, as Pakistani sources told US and Pakistani news agencies that Gadahn had not been seen or heard from since the strike. Gadahn was purportedly attending the meeting chaired by Laith, who was planning al Qaeda's 2008 campaign in Afghanistan.

Al Qaeda has been quick to lionize the death of its leaders, for propaganda and recruiting reasons. Laith's death was announced on a jihadi Internet forum within three days of the airstrike in North Waziristan.

This rumor is making the rounds again this morning.... several blogs have it....... they are all linking up to the same Nine/Eleven Finding Answers Foundation(NEFA) report.

To be honest I don't know if Adam died that night...short of going into that local graveyard and digging these dudes up the world may never know.

What about the recent strike in Pakistan border area of an al Quaeda terrorist house? Never heard much after that strike about who/what high-level perp(s) were blown up.

Assuming the traitor is dead, how long before the liberal blogs start claiming he was a misunderstood and innocent victim of US aggression?

Bill Roggio does excellent work and the word is that they did recover the loser’s computer. If that is the case the likelihood is high the owner wasn’t far.

All we’ve heard is Zawahiri making his typical lame threats but he did confirm that his boy, Al Libby is now mush.

So thank you to America’s finest. They’ve done a great job and we’re darn proud!

Has anyone considered the possibility that Gadahn may have been a CIA mole and has now disappeared after giving up intel that allowed a strike at high value targets?

I think it’s a real possibility, but that wouldn’t be confirmable unless he were dead and the gov’t could exonerate him without repercussion. We can only assume he’s a traitor at this point...

IMHO that is not the case here. The objective here is to get Gadahn to bite - but they have already been alerted.

Gadahn is not as mobile as the media would seem to hint at - he rarely leaves town (for good reasons) and when he does travel it is with "handlers" and only at night.

News of the "English brothers" travels fast - it is not that difficult to track him down and I alluded to it a while back.

He wouldve been found not guilty by a Clinton appointed judge; and shortly there after - we would be calling him U.S. Senator Adam Gadahn.

So, it's really better this way.

Re Gadan as “worm food.” As the unofficial spokesman for millions of honest, hardworking American worms, I can say on their behalf that they would never eat a slime bucket like Gadan.

He is “treif”, not “kosher”.

Even Pakistani worms would declare him “non-halal”.

May he rot in pieces.

Moles try to keep a low profile and don’t become media spokesmen. Additionally, Gadhan converted at age seventeen and got in trouble for fighting in his mosque. Not typically the profile of someone the CIA would recruit. Finally, the CIA can’t keep anything secret anymore.
