Adam Gadahn, American mouthpiece for al Qaeda, killed

(CNN)—He was known as the American mouthpiece of al Qaeda, speaking against his native country on behalf of a terrorist organization that's devoted blood and resources to attacking it.

But not anymore.

The White House announced Thursday that Adam Gadahn, 36, was killed in January in a U.S. government counterterrorism operation. Neither he nor Ahmed Farouq -- another U.S. citizen and al Qaeda operative who died in what the White House said was "likely a separate" operation -- was specifically targeted, according to the statement.

I'm saddened by the deaths of the 2 hostages, but I'll cheer the death of this POS traitor.
Good fucking riddance.

Says here that his family was Jewish...

So if that's the case, do his parents say the Kaddish (prayer for the dead) for someone who was against them?

is because they are miserable in their lives and they do it to try to get back as others and justify in the most perverse ways.
