American-born Jihadist really just wants attention from Hollywood

Filed · 1547

Mogidishu, Somalia - One of the most notorious American-born terrorists -- who many believed to be dead -- has resurfaced, looking for attention from Hollywood, and the possibility of moving on from his jihad.

It may seem something of suicidal to expose himself in such a way, but as our crack team of investigators at TDB has discovered, Hammami just really wants "an out", as he calls it.

Interview With An American Terrorist

Hammami agreed to meet with one of our Somali surrogates, but nonetheless seemed nervous, constantly glancing at the phone throughout the interview.

"Do you think he'll call?" he asks. "Oliver Stone, I mean. Do you think he'll call? I've got a call into his secretary. And his son. I'm hedging my bets."
