American Al Qaeda Member Missing
How sad. It seems that American Al Qaeda member and master of propaganda Adam Gadahn is missing. Even the Taliban have no idea where he is right now. This could mean, of course, that he is simply lost in the woods without his buddy and former number 4 of Al Qaeda Abu Laith al-Libi (who was killed in an missile attack last week), but it could also mean that Adam the Traitor is dead. The situation is a bit awkward. He was with al-Libi at the time of the attack, but US intelligence officers say they believe Gadahn was not hit by them. On the other hand, his Jihadi buddies have not heard from him in a week time… nor from any of his buddies who were traveling with him.
Obviously he’s not as big a target as al-Libi was rank-wise, but he is (was?) an important target in a very different way: he is probably Al Qaeda’s main propagandist and he’s American.

If, IF he is dead, I say, good riddance to bad rubbish.
