Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat
Debka ^ | 11-3-2003 | Staff

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.

If something happens within this time frame, I will be as surprised as I was when the Columbia went down. (I wasn't surprised.) I've had my eye on the 2004 SOTU and the Columbia anniversary, since last January, for reasons completely unrelated (and unknown at the time) to any specific threats or the eids on the muslim calendar.

A lot of things (signs, symbols, visions, news events, etc.) seem to be converging at this point in time (late Jan/Feb 2004). Just my observations over the past year. Whether or not they portend something horrifying remains to be seen.

Maybe it's nothing.

The references to "belly" do give one pause...

I have nothing against the government grounding flights. My opinion has nothing to di with the government. It has to do with the misinformation permeating the Web in relation to the salient information the government gleans well beneath the surface of your Internet connection.

None of these plots that the government foiled over the holidays had anything to do with the bluster on the Internet. I pored through these sites and saw no mention of Air France, British Airways, AeroMexico, etc. NOWHERE.

If you read my post, you would see that I do expect a conventional attack with aircraft once again, because the government is clearly tapped into intelligence that WE DON'T SEE.

So if you want to continue chasing shadows on the Internet while the real threats unravel behind the curtains, be my guest. I'm not lambasting anyone for being curious or intrigues or wanting to help foil an attack. It is equally problematic to be misled as it is to be completely unaware altogether.

This page:

http://aaiil.org/text/muslimnames/muslimnamest.shtml

Is a page for naming children. Tahiya is a female name and it's meaning is: Greeting; Salutation; Cheer; Welcome

I suspect that in this context it means when the group is assembled. I also don't think any Jihadi would discuss hardware specifics on an open internet forum.

Someone is jerking chains here.

I've been watching EOM since the beginning of his current posting cycle and the longer it goes on the more it seems like complete BS. If this were "credible" why would the site not be shut down anyway? I have always wondered that.

Why use a name that is pretty much (as far as I can see) a belly dancer along with a reference to batteries. Belly of the eagle & batteries, anyone?? I'm not a bomb expert but batteries lead me in that direction. It's possible this guy is in Juarez where the IP says he is and the actual entrance or operation center is elsewhere. They are not that stupid to announce where they are, I don't think.

They may be yanking our chain, but I'm not ready to write it off without proof.

As an aside, this is the only Jackson free zone anywhere!! Hallelujah

I'm not following you here. What is a "twexus?" Also, the way I read the last EOM post, "Tahiya" is the code name for a weapon that is being assembled. The problem I have is that I don't take EOM too seriously. Just can't believe that AQ would post this stuff so publically.

February 2nd is practically a Free Republic holiday the way everyone is anticipating the end of civilization.

What's crude about it? Hallmark has a complete display of "So Sorry Your City Got Nuked" greeting cards ready to roll (okay, that's crude I admit -- I apologize).

My point is, Terrorists 1 Freepers 0

So much has been said about Feb. 2, what happens if nothing happens? I guess we all just assume these guys are crackpots and let our guards down while the real movers and shakers take advantage of our new complacency...

That's the soft underbelly we need to be careful of exposing.

After reading your 'Cave of Darkness' scenario, I wonder 'IF' Osama is enroute to or actually in America to 'martyre' himself and then release a subsequent video, that would seem to possbile be an attempt to incite ALL Muslims to fight giving them a kind of Holy Figure to fight for. Just a thought.

If he is able to come to America and lead an attack, certainly the implications would be enormous in empowering our enemies.
