al Qaeda Reaches Out, and CNN's Nic Robertson is There
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) Osama bin Laden's deputy appears in a new video posted on the Internet a short while ago. Nic Robertson joins us now from Islamabad, Pakistan. What do you know about this tape, Nic?
![Nicrobertson1 Nicrobertson1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson1.jpg) Well, we do know the young American who introduces Ayman el-Zawahiri likes to be known as Azzam the American. He is, in fact, known as Adam Gadahn.
![Adamgadahn Adamgadahn](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/adamgadahn.jpg) On the tape he says: "This is an invitation to Americans and all non-believers to convert to Islam." He very quickly hands over the message to Ayman el-Zawahiri.
![Zawahiri Zawahiri](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/zawahiri.jpg) The message from Ayman el-Zawahiri follows on from Gadahn, saying that this is a message to Americans and all other Westerners, an opportunity to convert to Islam.
![Nicrobertson1 Nicrobertson1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson1.jpg) You know, Fredericka, this might be an effort by al Qaeda to reach out to the West.
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) You think al Qaeda wants to reach out to the West?
![Nicrobertson1 Nicrobertson1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson1.jpg) Just sayin'.
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) I'm not following you.
![Nicrobertson1 Nicrobertson1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson1.jpg) Well, you know, uh...Adam Gadahn speaks English.
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) And?
![Nicrobertson1 Nicrobertson1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson1.jpg) And, he, uh...they, uh...
![Nicrobertson1 Nicrobertson1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson1.jpg) And, I guess it could be that what they might possibly be doing here is maybe offering the opportunity for people to possibly convert to Islam, and perhaps this is something that they might see as an important thing that they should maybe do...
![Nicrobertson1 Nicrobertson1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson1.jpg) Possibly. It's kind of complicated.
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) I still don't see how that could be considered reaching out to...
![Nicrobertson1 Nicrobertson1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson1.jpg) Look, we might not agree with these guys, but they did say, "Either repent your misguided ways and enter into the light of truth or keep your poison to yourself," so it sounds like they're basically saying they'll leave us alone if we leave them alone. I mean, it's not like they're tring to force anyone to convert.
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) Actually, they said "Either repent your misguided ways and enter into the light of truth or keep your poison to yourself and suffer the consequences in this world and the next."
![Nicrobertson1 Nicrobertson1](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson1.jpg) They did?
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) Yes, they did. You're in Islamabad right now, Nic, do you have any sense of...Nic?
![Nicrobertson4 Nicrobertson4](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson4.jpg)
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) It looks like we're experiencing some technical difficulties, so...
![Nicrobertson2 Nicrobertson2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson2.jpg) Sorry, Fredericka, I was, uh...adjusting my microphone.
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) ...
![Nicrobertson2 Nicrobertson2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson2.jpg) What was the question?
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) What is that you're wearing?
![Nicrobertson2 Nicrobertson2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson2.jpg) What, this old thing?
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) Isn't that a...
![Nicrobertson2 Nicrobertson2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson2.jpg) Look, it's a little chilly out here, and Allah forbid I should catch a cold.
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) I'm sorry, I've just never seen a man wearing...
![Nicrobertson2 Nicrobertson2](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson2.jpg) What is this, Project Runway? What was the question?
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) Right. Sorry - so, do we know whether these recorded messages from these two men were taken at the same time?
![Nicrobertson3 Nicrobertson3](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson3.jpg) Fredericka, the only time reference we have heard so far is...
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) OK, what is that over your face? And don't tell me it's cold.
![Nicrobertson3 Nicrobertson3](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson3.jpg) I'd explain it, but you obviously have a lot to learn about modesty.
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) What's that supposed to mean?
![Nicrobertson3 Nicrobertson3](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson3.jpg) Oh, come on - you're on television and you're practically nude!
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) Nic Robertson, reporting live from...
![Nicrobertson3 Nicrobertson3](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nicrobertson3.jpg) Not that I noticed!
![Fredrickawhitfield Fredrickawhitfield](http://wuzzadem.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/fredrickawhitfield.jpg) ...reporting live from Islamabad.
Looks like he got the invitation.
