Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

Bin Laden Says Will Take Fight to America
(Full Story)

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden said his group reserved the right to fight the United States on its land and warned Washington and the world community against sending forces to Somalia, according to an Internet audio tape.

"We will fight its (U.S.) soldiers on the land of Somalia ... and we reserve the right to punish it on its land and anywhere possible," said the speaker, who sounded like the Saudi-born militant.

"We warn all of the countries in the world not to respond to America by sending international troops to Somalia," he said of the African nation where Islamists' power is rising.

OPINION: When advertising a product or service or delivering a message, sermon, seminar, etc.; the rule of thumb is to clearly mention your product, service, main message at least 6 times. If if is a very brief presentation; 3 times will do.

However, because it is TGIF and it's always interesting to think out of the box; here's a link:

As for the graphic, it's a fire. Basic. That's the point of that graphic.

As for the message, IN MY OPINION, it's probably a go signal for an attack somewhere in the world.

As for the 9/11 graphics; that's called pumping up the jihad base and get ready to do it again.

I could be wrong about all of this.

I hope I am.

End of my opinion.

An Arabic translator said that the caption on the screen in the Zawahiri tape last night read "the sixth war".

(from post 135)

"A few things from UBL's last statement leave me puzzled as well. First, he mentions 9/11...six times. I haven't the foggiest notion if that means anything, just that it seems strange."

Didn't catch that. Maybe if you count the year of the attack as "year 1" it means six years have passed - - not full years, but all or parts of them? (2001-2002-2003-2004-2005-2006) Or it could mean something more (who, what, where, when), but I'd be guessing without any real idea what it might mean (if anything). Also, the 9/11 plot began 6 yrs earlier (Bojinka 1995). So it is not so far-fetched to believe that something underway now was hatched years ago.

One striking coincidence related to "six"is in the Discovery-Times UBL documentary from a couple years ago that has been running this weekend. It shows at the very end the image of the wall map we discussed a couple years ago (the one crudely drawn in what looks like crayon with the fuse-lit bomb on the Canadian border forming the words "The Destruction of America" in Arabic). Seven of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were at that late 1999 Kandahar meeting with UBL (taped for posterity as a AQ promotional video).

The map behind them is only visible for a second or two, and it never pans down to the southernmost states, but from what is seen on the screen, DC is shaded solid green, but not labeled. . .

Also, past history makes this not seem so incredible as it might sound to some. One of the videotapes UBL made prior to the 1998 African embassy bombings had him sitting in front of a world map, and over his shoulder was the horn of Africa. Maybe the 1999 map image with the six states dealt with a follow-on operation to 9/11 that was disrupted in the weeks of late September and October 2001. But I am not in a position to assume that. . .

Also . . .

In his video, Zawahiri specifically mentioned the late 1999 Kandahar meeting.

In the late 1999 Kandahar video, the fuse-lit (nuclear?) bomb on the wall map spells "The Destruction of America". There is a very good reason why Zawahiri last night in his latest tape referenced this meeting.

To emphasize the point, the images in the background of last night's video had the key leaders at that Kandahar meeting (Atef and Atta) each behind one of his shoulders, and the explosive flames of the WTC strike (not a wide shot but a narrow focus on the flames) in the center.

This is *not* coincidence.

" . . . About a year before the two raids of New York and Washington DC the leader, Abu-Hafs (may Allah have mercy on his soul), gave a lecture to a group of trainees about Palestine and the Muslims’ conditions in Qandahar. At the end of the lecture the hero, Muhammad Attah (may Allah have mercy on his soul) stood up and asked the leader with seriousness and enthusiasm “what is the way to defeat the attack on Palestine?” and America knows very well the rest of the story."

"Terror Suspect Resurfaces, Raises FBI's Eyebrows"
Read The FBI's "Phoenix Memo" (pdf)

(CBS News)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "An old face from that investigation has resurfaced, and he's raising a lot of eyebrows at the FBI.

His name is Rayed Abdullah."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "That is, until last February — when he showed up in Auckland, New Zealand, with a passport. But the passport isn't from Saudi Arabia: It's from Yemen — and Abdullah was using a different surname: "Ali." Rayed Abdullah was on an international terrorist watch list; Abdullah Ali was not."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Abdullah was sent back to Saudi Arabia and held in custody there for several weeks. But he was recently released — and now, CBS News is told, he's dropped out of sight. The FBI doesn't know what he's up to, says Stewart, but no one is comfortable that he's trying to fly airplanes again."

"Iranians volunteer to fight Israel
Group heads for 'holy war' in Lebanon"

Thursday, July 27, 2006; Posted: 4:19 a.m. EDT (08:19 GMT)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Surrounded by yellow Hezbollah flags, more than 60 Iranian volunteers set off Wednesday to join what they called a holy war against Israeli forces in Lebanon.

The group -- ranging from teenagers to grandfathers -- plans to join about 200 other volunteers on the way to the Turkish border, which they hope to cross Thursday. They plan to reach Lebanon via Syria on the weekend.

Organizers said the volunteers are carrying no weapons, and it was not clear whether Turkey would allow them to pass.

A Turkish Foreign Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity, would not say Wednesday if Turkey would allow them to cross. Iranians, however, can enter Turkey without a visa and stay for three months.

Iran says it will not send regular forces to aid Hezbollah, but apparently it will not attempt to stop volunteer guerrillas. Iran and Syria are Hezbollah's main sponsors.

"We are just the first wave of Islamic warriors from Iran," said Amir Jalilinejad, chairman of the Student Justice Movement, a nongovernment group that helped recruit the fighters. "More will come from here and other Muslim nations around the world. Hezbollah needs our help."

In My Opinion, it's probably a go signal for an attack somewhere in the world.

Dilligence is in order- something is coming up... here's some traffic I ran across in the blogosphere:

My money is on August 22nd the day Iran is to give the world its answer on the overly generous nuke package. Rockets Brain is reporting on Robert Spencer's: Iran's Day of Terror?

Farid Ghadry, the president of the Reform Party of Syria, has offered a provocative explanation for this delay. He asserts that the Supreme National Security Council of Iran chose the August 22 date “for a very precise reason. August 21, 2006 (Rajab 27, 1427) is known in the Islamic calendar as the Night of the Sira’a and Miira’aj, the night Prophet Mohammed (saas) ascended to heaven from the Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on a Bourak (Half animal, half man), while a great light lit-up the night sky, and visited Heaven and Hell also Beit al-Saada and Beit al-Shaqaa (House of Happiness and House of Misery) and then descended back to Mecca.…”

7th of August, written in dd/mm/yy format reads 786. This number, written in arabic, stands for either 'allah' or some say, to verse no. 786 in the koran that calls for killing infidels.

Here is a link to Joel Richardson's 'Will Islam Be Our Future' that will help explaining Ahmedinejad's fascination with the Mahdi and the Islamic End Times and how it is intertwined with Revelation.

"Hizbullah Used Civilians, Mosques in Attack on IDF"
10:19 Jul 27, '06 / 2 Av 5766
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Hizbullah refused to allow civilians to leave their village and used mosques in their ambush on IDF soldiers at Bint Jbeil Wednesday. Names of the nine fallen soldiers were released. Morale is high.

Hizbullah stored ammunition and weapons in mosques, knowing that the IDF does not attack religious sites. Civilians were not allowed to leave so that Hizbullah could use them as cover. IDF officers said they ordered pilots not to strafe Bint Jbeil in order to spare civilian casualties.

A United Nations peace keeping officer from Canada told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. that Hizbullah used the same tactic to draw fire on the UNIFIL post which resulted in the death of four U.N. observers. "This is their favorite trick," he said. "They use the U.N. as shields.""

"Dutch Political Party Wants to Normalize Pedophilia"
By Kate Monaghan
CNSNews.com Correspondent
July 26, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "(CNSNews.com) - Members of a fringe political party in the Netherlands, who recently won a court case allowing them to field candidates for seats in the Dutch Parliament, believe it should be permissible for adults to have sex with children.

Norbert DeJonge, secretary of the political party PNVD, a Dutch acronym that translates into "brotherly love, freedom and diversity," told Cybercast News Service that there is nothing wrong with pedophilia or bestiality, the latter of which is legal in the Netherlands, as long as the child or the animal involved, demonstrate consent.

"[L]et's take a child that isn't able to speak. Just like an animal -- even a baby is able to smile or to cry when it respectively doesn't like something or does like something," DeJonge said. "So the question is not whether an animal or a child can show its resent[ment] or give its consent. The question is whether the adult will notice the expression of the animal or the child and what its feelings are."

The PNVD party is currently lobbying to change Dutch law that would lower the age for children to grant sexual consent from 16 to 12.. The party would eventually like to see all age of consent laws eliminated."
