US al-Qaeda spokesman 'arrested'

**A US-born spokesman for al-Qaeda has been arrested in Karachi, Pakistani security officials have said. **Adam Gadahn has appeared in a number of al-Qaeda videos, going back at least six years, encouraging violent jihad.

The latest emerged on Sunday - the same day as his arrest was reported - urging US Muslims to attack their own country.

He was charged with treason in the US in 2006 and a reward offered for his arrest - which has not yet been confirmed by Islamabad or Washington.

Another scumbag found in Karachi … looks like Taliban / Al qaeda leadership is coming out of woodwork in Pakistani port city. Perhaps it is no longer a “safe haven” for them …

It looks like the Pakistani authroties had been warned :smiley:
