With the recent elimination of terror mastermind Osama Bin Laden last week by U.S. Navy Seals, the CIA and FBI are awaiting who will step into the role as the #1 and replace Bin Laden. One of the possible choices that the CIA has revealed is Adam Yahiye Gadahn, an American who now lives in Pakistan.
Gadahn was the son of a Jewish father but was himself an atheist. He converted to Islam at age 17 while living in Santa Ana, CA. After beating up his mentor and failing to follow through on his community service, Gadahn fled to Pakistan where he joined up with Al-Qaeda and became a main propagandist for the terrorist group. He went on to inspire and be directly involved with Bin Laden's videos and terror warnings.
What is interesting about Gadahn was as a teenager in Santa Ana, he formed a death metal band called Aphasia. In the early to mid-90's, he also was a contributing writer to a local Southern California metal zine called Xenocide where he interviewed bands, wrote album reviews and drew artwork. Maybe if he's ever captured, the CIA should think of other bands to play for him as a form of torture besides death metal.
