Intelligence experts were trying to establish the identity of an American terror suspect arrested in Pakistan today as doubts emerged that he was al Qaida’s US-born spokesman.

Former US homeland security secretary Tom Ridge claims in a new book that he was pressured by other members of George Bush’s Cabinet to raise the US terror alert level just before the 2004 presidential election.

Current US economic troubles are proof that Muslims were on the verge of victory, a prominent American member of al-Qaida said in an English-language video released today.

Al-Qaida’s American-born spokesman urged fighters to greet US President George Bush with bombs not flowers when he visits the Middle East this week, according to a video posted on the internet today.

Al-Qaida’s American spokesman Adam Gadahn called on the terror network’s fighters to greet US President George Bush with "bombs and booby-trapped vehicles" when he visits the Middle East later this week, according to a new video posted today.

An American member of al-qaida threatened foreign diplomats and embassies across the Islamic world in a new video, saying they would targeted as “spy dens”.

Al-Qaida today posted a video showing what it claimed to be an attack by its fighters seizing a US-Afghan post in southern Afghanistan, in what experts said was a step-up in the terror group’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda.

A MAN describing himself as an American member of al-Qaida warned on a video broadcast yesterday that the US will be attacked “at any moment” and “the streets will run red with blood.”
