ALI AL-SAADI/AFP/Getty Images American-born Islamic militant Abu Mansoor al-Amriki has been presumed dead since March 2010, when Somalian government sources reported him killed in combat in Mogadishu. However, now two new Jihadist rap songs by the Alabama native have surfaced, threatening his homeland and ridiculing the reports of his death. The Daphne, Ala. native was born Omar Hammami, son of a Syrian Muslim father and American Southern Baptist mother, and secretly moved to Somalia in 2006, where he joined extremist paramilitary group al-Shabaab. In 2009, Amriki began to release propagandist rap songs, extolling the virtues of Jihad and attacking his homeland's presence in Muslim countries. Though the Somalian government never confirmed his death, the 27-year-old Islamic militant was reportedly killed in action back in March of 2010.

Set to hit theaters next Friday (April 22), the movie includes a much awaited romantic dancefloor scene - of which Pattinson said that his steps don't rank with the likes of John Travolta in "Grease". Offering a little support, Miss Witherspoon denied that Robert's moves were completely lacking, as she told MTV News, "As dancers go. I wouldn't say it's his forte.
