Adam Gadahn Update: Doubtful

The English-language daily Dawn (Pakistan) is reporting today that the mysterious terrorist arrested in Karachi is not Adam Gadahn, rather most likely another US-born Taliban leader known as Abu Yahya, born in Pennsylvania (Gadahn was born in Oregon) and whose aliases are similar to Gadahn's.

It appears that Dawn is the only news source that has not erroneously reported Gadahn as the arrestee. Other major news outlets have backed off the story in the past 24 hours.

At this point, no official announcement has been made, but it appears doubtful that it is Gadahn.

We put this jerk on trial for treason too. Fighting against the US in a time of war is TREASON!
