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.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman






This information is current as of today, Sat Nov 22 2003 01:07:31 GMT-0800.



WORLDWIDE CAUTION



November 21, 2003



This supersedes the Worldwide Caution dated September 26, 2003 . It is being issued to re-emphasize the continuing threat that U.S. citizens may be a target of terrorist actions. This Worldwide Caution expires on April 21, 2004 .



The U.S. Government remains deeply concerned about the security of U.S. citizens overseas. U.S. citizens are cautioned to maintain a high level of vigilance, to remain alert and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness. We are seeing increasing indications that Al-Qaida is preparing to strike U.S. interests abroad.



Al-Qaida and its associated organizations have struck in the Middle East in Riyadh , Saudi Arabia , and in Europe in Istanbul , Turkey . We therefore assess that other geographic locations could be venues for the next round of attacks. We expect Al-Qaida will strive for new attacks designed to be more devastating than the September 11 attack, possibly involving nonconventional weapons such as chemical or biological agents. We also cannot rule out that Al-Qaida will attempt a second catastrophic attack within the U.S.



Terrorist actions may include, but are not limited to, suicide operations, hijackings, bombings or kidnappings. These may also involve commercial aircraft and maritime interests, and threats to include conventional weapons, such as explosive devices. Terrorists do not distinguish between official and civilian targets. These may include facilities where U.S. citizens and other foreigners congregate or visit, including residential areas, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, hotels, outdoor recreation events or resorts and beaches. U.S. citizens should remain in a heightened state of personal security awareness when attendance at such locations is unavoidable.



U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or suspend public services from time to time to assess their security posture. In those instances, U.S. embassies and consulates will make every effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. Americans abroad are urged to monitor the local news and maintain contact with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate .



As the Department continues to develop information on any potential security threats to U.S. citizens overseas, it shares credible threat information through its consular information program documents, available on the Internet at http://travel.state.gov. In addition to information on the Internet, travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. or outside the U.S. and Canada on a regular toll line at 1-317-472-2 328.

New updated advisory on Northeast Network Intell. site.
Dated yesterday and today. I expect the terror alert to go up at some point today. I have a feeling we have a big week ahead of us, and its just not cooking a turkey.

I think it's interesting that he shut down his group.

I think if the gov had shut him down, it would have happened some time ago.

While he is probably a "small fish", but maybe he does know something after all. My concern is that I think AQ was warning and there was a lot of chatter, than went quiet just before the 9-11 attack.

Now we have hightened security for the end of Ramadan and over Thanksgiving.

BTW, Your spoof is great!

I wonder if this morning's DHL jet was part of something larger.

There they shoot down cargo jets, here we are supposed to worry about cargo jets being the missile.

They need to be eliminated yesterday.

Latest information at the Northeast Intelligence Network website:

UPDATED INTEL FINDS & ANALYSIS


21 November 2003-- Advisory from the Northeast Intelligence Network: Based on newly obtained data and information collected from a variety of sources (Internet and human intelligence) within the last 72 hours, the terror threat to the United States has increased. Although the exact timing with regard to the execution of planned terror operations cannot be pinned down with any reasonable or responsible degree of precision, we have been seeing references to planned operations extending through the Christmas and New year holidays, with specific references to a time period from 21-28 November 2003. How valid are these threats? We can only speculate based on a careful analysis of the data found, but consider the weight of the evidence to be substantial enough to offer this advisory. We have identified various threats from the air and against seaports, nuclear facilities and harbors, with continued interest in financial and symbolic targets. Cities of interest continue to include New York, Washington, DC, and all coastal cities. A full report containing sources and reference citations is being compiled at this time.  

Updated: 22 November 2003--More than 12 hours after the above was posted, and a full 13 days after our initial alert regarding cargo planes, the US government has warned of an increased risk of terror attacks on Americans at home and overseas, with a particular warning that al-Qaeda could try to hijack cargo jets and crash them into targets. Terrorist bombings overseas and an increased volume of threats against US interests at home and in foreign countries led the Homeland Security Department and FBI to issue the public warning. It said that "al-Qaeda's continued interest in aviation, including using cargo jets" to attack targets is of particular concern. The warning added that "increased vigilance here at home is prudent and may be key to deterring or disrupting terrorist attacks".

 

22 November 2003-- Message Intercept: Additional Bomb-Laden Vehicles Enter Iraq: Islamic terrorists have communicated that at least fifteen-(15) explosive laden vehicles have entered into Iraq through the Turkey and Syria. Vehicles (including ambulances, police vehicles and sanitation trucks) are to be used to carry out terror operations against US and coalition forces. Targets include police stations, security forces.  MORE

 

22 November 2003--Turkey-Operation Iron Hammer Response; expect more attacks. "Everybody should know that what is coming will even be worse."

 

al Qaeda to Use Chemical Weapons Against Our Military?  

22 November 2003--"A Ruling" About Qatar:

Because of the Iraqi resistance unexpected, it is the desire of the Pentagon to return of the middle command of the American army to Al-Adid Base in Qatar.  And from here they are to attempt to remove themselves from the Iraq swamp through the use of airplanes against the Iraqi resistance strongholds in the Sunni triangle which means bigger casualties. And what is recalled is the image of the fissionable and vacuum bombs of up to ten tons that were used at the beginning of the last war on Iraq against all life, we are reminded also of the bodies pictures of children and the women and the Sheikhs who burnt inside their homes.

The bombardment on the night 19 / 11 / 2003 c. to Beakouba City by 15 airplanes that took off from Qatar base where the one weight bombs dropped from it 500 pounds through the attack that continued two hours.

The question that presents itself here, do we hit the base to be in Qatar? Is the command base among the targeted sites approved by the rule?????

The brother - qualified to state - it is intended for Al-Qaeda to use a new way to fight - a chemical attack a proverb that is now discussed in the forums. A thankfulness on your passage .

Oh Allah he will destroy the Americans!

 

22 November 2003-- Osama bin Laden, al Zawahiri ARE IN IRAN. AS PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED by Northeast Intelligence Network and independent analyst Ryan MAURO (who is also the owner of the web site www.WorldThreats.com), the location of Osama bin Laden and his top aide, al Zawahiri was made clear (1) via Internet communications monitored by our network, and (2) a carefully written, previously published article written by Mr. MAURO titled "Al-Qaeda Leadership in Iran." "Given the latest strikes in Istanbul and the ongoing guerilla war in Iraq, it appears clear that there is an operational leadership behind Al-Qaeda...Only one thing is for sure--Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, now more than ever." (Ryan MAURO). In an article published 21 November 2003 by WorldNetDaily, it appears that Fox News analyst Mansoor Ijaz agrees.

I don't know liz44040. I received e-mail from the site yesterday at 5:45 p.m., but have not had any strange things happen.

FYI: Researching I find that Daleel Al Mojahid means Proof of someone who is active and fights for Islam. A Muslim fighter.

Daleel = Proof - The term daleel, as a source of fiqh, has several synonyms - hujjah (plea, proof), bayyinah (clear evidence), burhan (demonstrative proof), ayah (sign, token, mark), and Shahid (testimony, textual evidence, witness).

Mojahid = someone who is active and fights for Islam. A Muslim fighter.

"F.B.I. Scrutinizes Antiwar Rallies"

By ERIC LICHTBLAU

Published: November 23, 2003

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 — The Federal Bureau of Investigation has collected extensive information on the tactics, training and organization of antiwar demonstrators and has advised local law enforcement officials to report any suspicious activity at protests to its counterterrorism squads, according to interviews and a confidential bureau memorandum.

The memorandum, which the bureau sent to local law enforcement agencies last month in advance of antiwar demonstrations in Washington and San Francisco, detailed how protesters have sometimes used "training camps" to rehearse for demonstrations, the Internet to raise money and gas masks to defend against tear gas. The memorandum analyzed lawful activities like recruiting demonstrators, as well as illegal activities like using fake documentation to get into a secured site.

F.B.I. officials said in interviews that the intelligence-gathering effort was aimed at identifying anarchists and "extremist elements" plotting violence, not at monitoring the political speech of law-abiding protesters."
