Adam Gadahn Captured?

Filed under: International,Terrorism — DRJ @ 1:40 pm

Updates have called into question earlier reports that Adam Gadahn was captured in Pakistan:

“We are checking with Pakistani authorities to confirm one way or the other,” said FBI spokesman William Carter.

A Pakistani official told Agence France Presses that “we thought it could have been a big catch, but it appeared it’s not Gadahn.”

The confusing swirl of reports began in Karachi, where the Associated Press and several Pakistani and Indian outlets quoted Pakistani officials announcing the arrest of Osama bin Laden’s American mouthpiece.

The Dawn, Karachi’s English-language paper, ran a photo of a man said to be Gadahn being taken away with a bag on his head.”

Too bad.

  1. “…a photo of a man said to be Gadahn being taken away with a bag on his head.”

    I understand that’s how women demanded he go on dates with them, too.

    Sorry. It had to be done.

  2. It would be better for all concerned if his head was in the bag.

  3. If it is that fat POS, the bag is likely full of Twinkies.

  4. The Unknown POS? I hope the Pakistanis do capture him and give him the “counseling” he desperately needs.

  8. It’s not too early to press the Democrats on the issue of where/how to try Gadhan .

    If he’s ever captured alive.

  9. I think I read elsewhere that they caught someone with a similar alias, not actually that leftist Adam Gadahn.

  10. “It’s not too early to press the Democrats on the issue of where/how to try Gadhan .”

    The bush administration indicted him in 2006. Looks like the issue of whether to try him has broad bipartisan support.
