Insider 12/23/04: Married to Al Qaeda
Dec. 23 2004 -- When she married Hisham Diab 13 years ago, Saraah Olson had no idea what she was getting into. In an exclusive interview with ABC News, Olson talks about how her former husband helped set up an al Qaeda sleeper cell in the U.S. "I married a terrorist," she says. Olson also remembers how together with his group, her husband transformed local teen Adam Gadahn into a fanatic. Gadahn, who is wanted by the FBI, is believed to be "Azzam the American" —the masked man who threatens the U.S. in a video released late October.
