No!

I've got Jim Alderman

on the line.

Jim. Yeah, thanks

for getting back to me.

Listen. I'm sitting

on convincing evidence...

that El-Ibrahim

landed in D.C.

He purchased something

in the in-flight duty free.

What did he say?

Uh, nothing helpful.

Sam, can you get me a minute

with the senator?

- Peace be with you.

- And with you.

I thought you weren't coming.

Come.

Sir, he's here.

Douglas Freeman,

Abasi Fawal.

Uh, sorry about Mr. Dixon.

Uh...

Definitely, they were after me.

Second time.

Second time. Please.

Drink, my friend.

No, thank you.

So Dixon

was replacing Simms.

Yeah.

Yes. And now it's you.

- Now it's me.

- Mm-hmm.

Please.

Almonds.

Good. Very good.

Um...

Our questions.

Of course. Thank you.

Al Jazeera

is running footage.

Security authorities

have confirmed 19 deaths.

Most of the victims

are women and children.

A tourist video

found at the scene...

shows the source of the blast.

In an email to the station,

El-Hazim has claimed...

Why the hell didn't we get that?

Call Abdou, I want a copy now.

So...

you're staying to observe.

I will ask your questions.

But there will be no

suggestions, no interference...

while I work. Understood?

Good.

The struggle against

the Zionist and the Crusader...

represents the decisive battle

between faith and infidelity.

Between good and evil.

The destruction of the infidel

and hypocrite is your sacred duty.

When you meet the Apostate you are

commanded to "strike the necks."

The Crusader

talks about freedom.

Jihad is the only path

to freedom.

Do not fear their bullets.

What can they do...

but set your soul free?

On the Day of Judgment...

when you stand before

the Almighty God...

and He asks you...

"Why did you not fight

for the cause of God?

"And for the oppressed. The men,

the women and the children?

"What did you do

with the one weapon I gave you?

"Your body."

What will be your answer?

Will you display the wounds

of martyrdom and walk through

the gates of heaven?

Or, will you hang your head

in shame and roast in the fires of hell?

Success is from God.

May the peace and blessings and

glory of God, the Almighty, be upon you.

Amen.

Amen.

Praise God.

God is great!

S-s-sir?

There's been

some kind of mistake.

Why have my clothes

been taken from me?

I want my clothes.

No one has told me why I'm here

or--or what I've done.

I--This is crazy!

I want my clothes!

And I want to speak

to a lawyer immediately!

Yes. Yes, of course, you do.

I have just a few questions.

If you answer honestly,

we can send you home.

Sir.

Sir. Are you American?

I've lived in the States

for twenty years.

My wife is American.
