Al-Qaeda video vows attacks on US missions

---

DUBAI, Aug 6 (AFP): A wanted American member of Al- Qaeda warned in a new video Sunday that US diplomatic missions and other interests were "legitimate targets," vowing that the network would attack these "spy dens."
In the footage compiled by Al-Qaeda's production arm As- Sahab, an unnamed narrator singled out US missions in oil-rich Gulf Arab states as potential targets. "We shall continue to target you at home and abroad just as you target us at home and abroad," Adam Gadahn, an American convert to Islam who has been indicted for treason in the United States, said in the video.
The video was posted on LauraMansfield.com, an American website which monitors terrorist groups.
Ben Venzke, a cyberterrorism expert with the Virginia-based counterterrorism consulting firm IntelCentre, said in a statement that the video contained "significant indicators" of an increased threat.
