 ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- A new videotape by al Qaeda's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has surfaced on the Web with an appearance by a Californian-turned-al Qaeda member wanted by the FBI, according to a counterterrorism expert. A banner on multiple Islamic Web sites the other day announced that al-Zawahiri would be delivering a message. The tape, called "Invitation to Islam," runs 48 minutes and refers to the recent war in Lebanon between Israel and Lebanese-based Hezbollah, expert Laura Mansfield said. Al-Zawahiri says the message is directed at Americans. Californian Adam Gadahn, whom the FBI wants in connection with possible terrorist threats against the United States, introduces the message. Gadahn, also known as "Azzam the American," has previously been featured in al Qaeda tapes and is listed as armed and dangerous by the FBI on its Web site. Much of his portion carries Arabic subtitles, while the segments in Arabic carry English subtitles. CNN is analyzing the tape. Mansfield is a writer and commentator on issues regarding the Middle East, Islam, and radical Islamic terrorism. |
