Before that... Before March, it was February, we were supposed to have a meeting. We were planning to go in Yemen. In November of 2009, I received that threat in my phone. November of 2009. And I sent the phone to Chris. I said, I received this message. He said, don't worry, sometimes somebody try to bluff and threat, but it's nothing serious. I said, okay.
I was preparing my territory to go to meet with al-Awlaki. February, he said, Abu, in a communication, he never mentioned my name, always Abu or Sal. Abu, can we change meeting of February for March 31st, 2010, 2 o'clock? I said, no problem. Please bring your GPS coordination, the passport. I had one extra passport from them. and something I tracked somewhere from the weapons.

I said, okay, no problem. And bring a two passport picture size of yourself. I said, okay. I go like a route usual. I'm parking my car under the garage, where is the CIA safe house, like super, super careful, like very good not to trace me. I left the house 6.30, 7 o'clock a.m., changing to different cities, sitting there, sitting here, so to see if ever somebody follow me. Nobody.

I go to the garage, two floors under, so if it's any tracing device, so not to track that. So I park my car deep to ground down. I go, I'm entering the safe house. I see old man carrying the grass. And I greet him. He has the white kufi. I say, you know, salaam alaikum, alaikum salaam. No problem, it's cutting the flowers. Big building in a penthouse, it was a CIA safe house.

The way you see me stretching, in a stretcher taking out, I see two guys coming down, very calm, me. I'm between, I open the door, enter, and now I see they got separated, but I never thought, I thought maybe the Macedonians entering, and they pulled a gun, shot me four times, not once.

The first bullet went through my leg, and I collapsed pretending like, because they was not professional shooters. They're not somebody who's trained. I can see not having skills in that. And he pulled the gun right to my head, jammed the gun. I hear click once, twice, three times. All he said, oof, they couldn't kill me.

And I'm not moving because when I see the way I saw them, I thought they are like not the guys they have experienced, like myself, for example. I can control myself in a shooting and stuff like that. I'm very calm, not, you know. I didn't move. I saw blood everywhere. I said, let them go out. I was thinking, Let me go in a basement because I don't want to bring blood. Maybe they're coming back.

And if I go in a basement, they will come behind me. If I go in fourth floor, maybe they come, they trace me, and they kill him and me. It's a moment. I said to myself, you know what, I'm going to die. I'm not going to betray them. I don't want them to think CIA, oh, he was a double agent, he killed our agent. I stayed for a moment. Blood was not stopping. I pulled myself quick.
