A videotape released this Sunday on the internet shows an American al Qaeda member urging the Muslim fighters to welcome U.S. President George W. Bush with bombs.

Adam Yahiye Gadahn shows in the 50-minute tape how he destroys his passport and says that he renounces his U.S. citizenship. The tape was released by As Sahab, the video production wing of al-Qaeda, and is entitled “An Invitation to Reflection and Repentance.”

Gadahn expresses his protest against the imprisonment of Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, who received a life sentence after was proven that he took part in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, and others, CNN informs.

He takes his passport and tears it up in front of the camera saying that he doesn’t need it anyway for traveling.

Even though in most of the tape Gadahn speaks in English he makes an appeal to the Muslim brothers in Arabic.

He said: "We raise an urgent appeal to our mujahedin brothers in the Muslim Palestine, the Arabian Peninsula in particular, and the region in general, to be prepared to receive the crusader butcher Bush on his visit to Muslim Palestine and the occupied peninsula at the beginning of January. They should receive him not with roses and applause, but with bombs and booby-traps."

President Bush will arrive Wednesday in Israel as part of his trip for a week in the region in order to reach an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, the New York Times said.

Gadahn says that the statement is released by al-Qaeda after Washington was defeated in the attempts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He said: “The first questions Americans might ask is, has America really been defeated? The answer is yes and on all fronts.”

Gordon Johndroe, spokesman of the National Security Council, said that Gadahn’s statements are “nothing but death and violence.”

He said that Bush will go on with the plans and travel in the country in order to “stand with the mainstream governments who want liberty and justice for their people.”

Gadahn is on the Most Wanted List of the FBI, that is offering a reward for $1 million for information that could lead to his arrest.

The self proclaimed jihadist grew up in California and turned to Islam in the mid 1990s. He appeared in several al Qeada videos where he praises terrorism.
