, al Qaeda's long-time number two to bin Laden, and American-born Adam Gadahn, who says that Mohammedans living in the West are "perfectly placed to play an important and decisive part in the jihad against the Zionists and Crusaders". Mohammedans living in the United States can easily buy automatic assault weapons at a gun show without any identification or submitting to a background check, Gadahn says, speaking in English, according to a transcript of the first video released by the SITE Monitoring Service. "It's important that we weaken our cowardly enemies' will to fight by targeting influential public figures in Crusader and Zionist government, industry and media," Gadahn says. The video was produced by al Qaeda's media arm, as-Sahab and is titled, "You are only responsible for yourself." It was posted on Web forums on Thursday, and opens with old footage of bin Laden sitting next to al Zawahiri giving a speech that criticises the Western occupation of Mohammedan lands. The al Qaeda leader was killed on May 2 by US commandos who raided his safe house in Abbottabad, Pakistain.
