Re: Pakistan arrests American-born al-Qaida
I've been following the story of Adam Gadahn aka Azzam Al-Amriki since I read about him in the New Yorker. Very interesting case. He grew up in Menifee/Hemet area of Riverside County,CA. That alone is enough to drive one to insanity.
I showed a few videos of him to my girlfriend this morning when I read the breaking story. She said he speaks Arabic better than she does and she grew up speaking it.
On that note, as someone taking an Arabic course, I find it amazing what one can do when they put their mind to it and immerse themselves in the culture. Fortunately, I do not want to learn it bad enough to move to Pakistan, nor do I believe that Mohammed is Allah's prophet. lol
