KOLD News 13Tucson Man Talks about Adam Gadahn
Member Center:
Former U of A Garbogoly Instructor Wilson Hughs says he barely remembers the time he spent being interviewed by Adam Gadahn.
Hughs says, "I have no real recollection of Adam; just him being a nice kid doing an interview".It's been 10-years since Hughs heard Gadahn's name. "I
t was unnerving to hear about it," says Hughs. "Adam's life has certainly changed since then".From a 15-year old interviewing a researcher to becoming a suspected terrorist, the transformation has left his family in shock.
The FBI claims Adam attended Al-Qaida training camps and served as a translator. He's wanted for possible terrorist threats against the U.S. While Adams father says he hasn't seen him in years, his brother says he last heard from Adam a couple of year ago.
Omar Gadahn says, "He was in Pakistan Kabul. I think he said writing for a newspaper and that he was going to have a baby".Gadhan grew up in California and was raised in a Christian home, but converted to Islam as a teenager.
His aunt says, "He was raised to be religious, to believe in a God. He was given the opportunity to read the Koran and read the Bible and read, you know, the Torah's part of the Bible. I mean the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Koran. And he made his own choice".Government officials say intelligence indicates a major terror attack is planned for the U.S. this summer. It's unclear whether Adam Gadahn is part of that alleged plot.
