No other Westerner, let alone American, has been closer to the leadership of Al-Qaeda than Adam Gadahn, aka "Azzam the American." The California-raised Gadahn was a media trailblazer for Al-Qaeda; he used his video production skills in the service of terrorism, creating videos for Osama bin Laden and other top leaders of the organization, and crafting the organization's earliest outreach and recruitment video content.Steven Stalinsky, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), has provided us with essential background on Gadahn, including what we know of his upbringing in the U.S., his conversion to Islam and radicalization, his move to Pakistan, the translation and video work he did for Al-Qaeda, and how he became increasingly accepted by Al-Qaeda's top echelons - including the architects of 9/11.This
