CAIRO, Sept. 2 -- An American thought to be an al-Qaeda activist appeared in a videotape with the network's deputy leader Saturday and called on his countrymen to convert to Islam.
The 48-minute video, posted on an Islamic insurgent Web site, contained footage of al-Qaeda's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and of Adam Yahiye Gadahn, an American who the FBI believes attended al-Qaeda training camps in Pakistan and served as an al-Qaeda translator.
In the video, Gadahn urged U.S. soldiers to switch sides in the Iraq and Afghan wars and delivered a lecture on Islam and the "errors" in Christianity and Judaism.
It was the second time Gadahn had appeared in a video with al-Zawahiri, who gave only a brief introduction to the video that also called on Americans to convert to Islam.
