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

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.

I've thought for a while that bin laden fashions himself as the mahdi. BTW did you see the post with proof of jeannies story?

So weird. My computer just went down, then brought itself back up. WEIRD.

You didn't name your computer after HAL in "2001: A Space Odyssey," did you?! Heh, heh...

NEIN has been updated.

I saw the post on the EOM Yahoo Group early this morning, I have asked for a working URL (if one exists).

The "From:" and "To:" were blank on the message text that was posted there and here in this thread not to far back."

Anyone can concoct such a post after 2 years and four months, and I am not saying this message that appeared to is concocted, just that the possibility exists, and we need a link to an actual intact message form the original archive.

I would buy that as corroboration.

For now, it is interesting and very curious, but it is not the smoking gun imho.

[Calpernia]

I have confirmed we have goodies that would make your hair stand on ends. But, we don't know how much the Clinton decade had undone. I can't believe how much "how tos" I've found on the web alone.

Hopefully none of this is a concern.

He was only gone 3 days by my count. And that is being generous.

I agree, it is curious. But has anyone confirmed it's the same person who posted as EOM prior to 9/11?

I just can't believe that if this guy is real, he hasn't been arrested, truth-serumed, and dispatched to Gitmo. In fairness, let's assume he's for real and the federal gov't is not moving on him because they are busy mining info from his sloppy behavior. I can buy that. But at some point, getting ahold of him and finding inways to his connections would become a priority. I think he would be apprehended by now if anyone took him seriously.

Secondly, al Qaeda has show in recent bombing it is not particularly worried about killing other Muslims in it's terror operations. Why on earth would they bother warning three entire cities to evacuate at risk of (obviously) exposing an immenent operation? It doesn't wash.

This is why the John Allen Mohammad sniper attacks were SO plausibly Al Qaeda (before we knew the real source): It was RANDOM, it was UNANNOUNCED, it TERRORIZED the public into fearing sending their children to school and going to gas stations, for crying out loud -- that's terrorism! Not "I got a warhead and I know how to use it" -- that's so much tripe. I live nowhere near Virginia and I was looking over my shoulder at the gas station.

It's not al qaeda...

Thanks for the notice...heading over!

[Letitring]

lol, it was so odd. Never happened to me before. Oh well, anymore msgs this am?

[jerseygirl]

Was that the "other board" he referred to?

[ZOTnot]

The thread was so long last night and I was trying desperately to catch up. Whoever said what was offensive was not you. I think it was you who I was agreeing with, that AQ's people like Daleel and others are probably watching this thread.

[hummingbird]

I'm heading over to NEIN. "Let's go together!"

[jerseygirl]

Sounds realistic enough to me...esp. mentioning the evening prayer.

[Letitring]

How do I get there? Lead the way. :)

>>Which one were you checking? So far all I've looked at do match up. I am still checking others though.<<


Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place on that website.

But the following IPs from EOM's postings are not found on the Proxy search.

148.235.2.53
213.150.189.170
202.154.24.107
202.155.109.117

SHrug. I didn't fine a one that matched.

[knak]

after reading more from that page I have to agree it's just curious, interesting reading a message board pre 9/11.

[jerseygirl]

So did mine- twice.

[Letitring]

Okay, so that's pretty significant, I think. Wonder what happened to us?

[Letitring]

Some sort of power surge do that, ya think?

[jerseygirl]

I don't know. I'm at an internet cafe. I didn't notice whether or not the other screens went off. It happened twice, very briefly.
