Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat

Monday, November 3, 2003

A new message was posted in the last few hours by the Jeddah-based al-Qaeda-linked Al-Islah (Reform) society calling on Muslims to flee New York, Washington and Los Angeles in advance of major al Qaeda attacks in those cities. This is revealed by DEBKAfile.

The message accuses the United States of predetermining its end (doom) by its policies. ?The Jews rule the Pentagon by remote control and (are the cause) of Muslims being killed in every corner of the world. The United States should therefore expect more blows.?

The message is signed on behalf of the al Bayan (The Threat) movement by ?your warrior brother, Abul Hassan al Khadrami?.

Our Muslim expert identifies the name of the signatory as belonging to a Yemeni from Hadhrameuth, the Bin Ladens? place of origin where Osama enjoys substantial tribal support.

DEBKAfile?s counter-terror sources stress that warnings appearing on these forums are taken both very seriously and with caution by the intelligence services keeping track of the terrorist network?s electronic traffic.

Last November, Jeddah-based fundamentalist forums addressed a message to an Al Qaeda member, saying whoever understands ? understands; whoever knows, knows, but we are marching towards an operation that will take us to Paradise. Three days later, the Mombasa Paradise hotel was blown up killing 12 Kenyans and 3 Israelis and a failed shoulder-launched Strela anti-air missile missed an Israeli airliner at Mombasa airport.

From Memri:
Special Alert - No. 12
November 4, 2003 No.12
Al-Qa'ida Website Issues Ramadan Warning of Imminent Attacks: Calls on Muslims in DC, NY, and LA to Leave Those Cities

A communiqué issued by the previously unknown "Islamic Bayan Movement" warns Muslims that they should leave Washington DC, New York, and Los Angeles.

The warning initially appeared on the website of Global Islamic Media, at :
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/globalislamicmedia/message/173. The same website has, in recent months, published many communiqués by Jihad groups around the world, as well as Islamic ideological material. The communiqué has since appeared on the Al-Qa'ida affiliated website Al-Faroq. [1]

The communiqué was signed on the fifth of Ramadan, but was published on November 3, 2003, under the title "A Warning to the Muslims in America."

It opened with a Koranic verse: "All that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth glorifies Allah. He is the Mighty, the Wise. It is He who turned out the disbelievers from among the People of the Book from their homes at the time of the first banishment. You did not think that they would go forth and they thought that their fortresses would protect them against Allah. But Allah came upon them whence they did not expect and cast terror into their hearts, so that they destroyed their homes with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So take warning, O ye who posses understanding."

The following are excerpts from the communiqué: "The sufferings of your Muslim brothers and of the Mujahideen around the world is no secret to you, our brothers. [They suffer] oppression, tyranny, imprisonment, murder, and banishment by the masters of oppressions and lies in the world, the American rulers, who think [of] themselves as good-doers. Allah is the witness that they write the end of America by their own hands…

"Afghanistan and Iraq are not far away. Their sons there [i.e. U.S. soldiers] are frustrated and defeated and they ask 'why are we here?' Yes, they are the only ones who know the bitter truth. How would they not when they see every day dozens of casualties from among their friends, the soldiers who die and nobody, even not their stupid rulers, is sorry for them. Then they hear the lies and distortion their rulers [tell] their people and the peoples of the world regarding the number of their dead and heavy losses…

"Our Muslim brothers in America, we ask you to immediately leave the following cities: Washington, DC, New York, and Los Angeles. We are serious in our warning. The next few days will prove to you the truth of this warning… To the oppressive rulers of America we say: expect our terms following the first strike of Allah’s believing soldiers" [Koran, Chapter 59, Verse 2-3]

The communiqué ends with another Koranic verse: "Fight them: Allah will punish them at your hands, and will humiliate them, and will help you to overcome them, and will relieve the minds of the believers."[Koran, Chapter 9, Verse 14]

[Signed] The Islamic Bayan Movement - 5th of Ramadan, 1424

The Al-Qa'ida affiliated website also posted a photograph of a Chinook helicopter along with the following caption: "We shall bring down and destroy the values of the Hubal [2] of this generation"

Logo from Al-Faroq

The phone number is good. The location is blocks away from the "al-Taqwa" (and other) terror mosques, including the NOI 'mosque' where DC sniper mohammad attended.

Here's a link to their address with pictures. The business name is "The Sweet Spot."

Your description is exact. I know, I've seen the same thing.

Unfortunately, 99% of Americans can't even fathom this.

The good folks of this country must learn to get ugly, real ugly, in order to fight this satanic influence and win.

Can verify heavy traffic over West Coast on Monday and Tuesday; though probably because of the Presidents visit here yesterday.

MENS NEWS DAILY.com: "Source Tells Reporter 'We have everything ready and set' AL QAEDA THREATEN NEW YORK, WASHINGTON AND LOS ANGELES" by Jeremy Reynalds (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A similar message was received by this reporter when under the guise of being a Molsem sympathetic to the cause he wrote to Almojahid that he wanted to help. "I have funds to buy what you need to kill the kaffir. I need bank account, wiring instructions and location..." The response received from Almojahid by this reporter read , "We are more than thankful for the sweet words you wrote, but we have everything ready and set thank you so much and please make your plans to move out if you are in the cities of LA, NY or the east side. Go north as much as possible as you know this is a war. May God protect you and protect all our brothers and sisters."") (September 3, 2003) (Read More...)

Do we sleep or exhale? It's like us doing this will stop whatever the enemy has planned ;(

This is a great link on the update...I also found this today:

DEBKAfile’s military sources report unusually heavy US bomber and fighter air traffic on the move from US West Coast to Middle East via Scotland

On the yahoo character:

Debka reported that the publication's counter-terror sources emphasize these warnings are taken seriously but with caution by the intelligence services keeping track of the terrorist network's electronic traffic.

K����01012...I posted the article by Jeremy Reynalds not to examine Debka info, but to emphasize that article snippet which was an actual incident that the author himself experienced. That, at least to me, is the most important part of the article.

The Islamic Information Center of Seattle shows up....

Many thanks for elucidating. Their garb and demeanor adds to the cult like aura of these wannabee Muslim goofs. They don't dare screw around in our airports the way the Hare Krishna do. I wouldn't want them talking to my children either.

[R. Scott]

Isn’t it amazing how much free publicity these people can get?
I wonder how many Americans actually take these “warnings” seriously (and are fearful). A Muslim setting at a keyboard half a world away can actually wield power over Americans.

[R. Scott]

I'm waiting on confirmation by the Weekly World News.

I'm waiting on confirmation by the Onion.

Can I have a status on 'fruit stand man'???? Did he show up today?

Seems like the pressure is really on these nutballs.

This is the long awaited double eclipse Ramadan. The signs are right. Won't happen again for the longest time.

If they don't pull something off now, how can they hold their heads up?

If Bin Laden is still breathing, and can pull off something big, he can "reveal" himself as the Mahdi, and become defacto leader of all lunatic muslims.

Lot of pressure.
