Holy jihad, Batman!
Did Al-Qaeda just officially offer condolences to innocent civilians murdered by their stupid acts of terrorism?
Well, sort of…
According to CNN, Adam Gadahn- also known as ‘Azzam the American’- appeared in a 17-minute video released on Islamist online forums late Friday, offering condolences to the families of innocent people killed in Al-Qaeda attacks.
“We express our condolences to the families of the Muslim men, women and children killed in these criminal acts…” he says in the video.
Wait a minute. Did a member of Al-Qaeda just admit that their acts of terrorism are ‘criminal acts’?
