Osama bin Laden liked having Americans in his entourage. Mohammed Loay Bayazid, a former resident of Kansas City, took notes at the meeting in which al-Qaeda was founded. Wadih El-Hage, formerly of Tucson, was one of the terror network’s first members and eventually became bin Laden’s personal assistant.
Now that Ayman al-Zawahiri has ascended to al-Qaeda’s throne, he will likely bring along his own American courtier — Adam Gadahn, also known as Azzam the American, formerly of Orange County, California.
