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.

"Bomb attacks were planned in internet café"
The Sunday Telegraph (U.K.) ^ | 11/23/03 | Damien McElroy and Philip Sherwell

Posted on 11/22/2003 7:02 PM PST by Pokey78



ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Al-Qa'eda operatives are believed to have made their way to Turkey to help design the bombs and fuses, picking the targets and planning the missions. They also taught the Turkish cells how to communicate via encrypted messages posted on the internet."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Merkezi internet café remains open, but prominent on its wall is an official notice stating: "It is definitely banned to enter sites targeting the state, country and its inseparable integrity and constitutional order.""

Just on Geraldo, Mansoor Ijaz just reported that Osama bin Laden is in Kermanshah, Iran and is calling the shots of the jihadist that are entering Iraq.

Kermanshah

Kermanshah , formerly Bakhtaran, city in western Iran, capital of Kermanshah Province, in the Karkheh River valley. The city is the commercial center for grain and other produce of the countryside. Flour, textiles, refined oil, beet sugar, and carpets are produced here. Founded in the 4th century, Kermanshah has long been an important market center by virtue of its position on the caravan route from Hamadan to Baghdad. East of the city are the cliffs that bear the Behistun inscription, which became the key to deciphering several ancient Middle Eastern writings. Population (1996) 692,986.

KERMANSHAH

The capital of Kermanshahan Province, in an altitude of 1, 630 m above sea level, Kermanshah is 525 km to the southwest of Tehran. It can be reached either by air or via Hamadan (190 km), partly on a highway and partly on a first class national asphalt road.

Being a populous city of 631,199 inhabitants, mainly Kurds, Kermanshah stands, like Hamadan, on the great highway that connected Baghdad and the West with Iranian Plateau. The town’s situation is highly picturesque, and it is one of the liveliest market centers of the province, where you will meet a large number of Kurds and mountain peasants once famous as warriors. These Kurds still speak their own language among themselves and remain faithful to their testamentary traditions: the men wear large turbans on their heads and black dungarees tight at the waist and at the ankles. The women wear trousers and bright-coloured scarves and sometimes brocade bodices, but they are mostly changing into urban type of dress, particularly in towns.

First built on a site a few km from the present town, it probably dates from the 4th century AD. Its vulnerable position has always rendered it liable to incursions, and it was in turn captured by the Arabs in 649 AD, the Buyids in the 10th century, soon after by the Seljuks, and then sacked by Mongols in the early 13th century. After several centuries of relative peace and prosperity, its strategic position on the road to Baghdad brought trouble in the form of very heavy Iraqi missile and bomb attacks during the Iraqi war against Iran.

Bump to posting this and bringing it to our attention! I know we are all still holding our collective breath just like I did when I was on the coast everytime there was even the slightest rumble.

"Bank Data For Saudi Embassy Subpoenaed: FBI Investigating Riyadh's Spending for Terrorist Ties"
Washington Post ^ | November 23, 2003 | Douglas Farah


Posted on 11/23/2003 2:09 AM PST by sarcasm


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The FBI, in an unprecedented move that has strained relations with a close ally in the war on terrorism, has subpoenaed records for dozens of bank accounts belonging to the Saudi Embassy, part of an investigation into whether any of the hundreds of millions of dollars Riyadh spends in the United States each year end up in the hands of Muslim extremists, U.S. and Saudi officials said."

"NYPD Alert Warns of Missing Explosives"
NY Newsday ^ | Nov. 22, 2003 | Rocco Parascandola


Posted on 11/23/2003 2:59 AM PST by FairOpinion


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The New York Police Department has issued a department-wide alert for cops to be on the watch for explosives that disappeared from Newark International Airport more than two months ago, Newsday has learned.

The explosive, Primasheet, a plastic bonded explosive with enough power to bring down a jetliner, according to some experts, disappeared in early September. The material was last seen while cops in the Port Authority Police Department's K-9 Unit were using it to train bomb-sniffing dogs aboard a Continental Airlines jet, according to the Port Authority."

too.

DATE 11-20 to 12-25
LOCATION Washington D.C.
ATTACK cargo planes loaded with explosives
TYPE TARGET The White House and nuclear power plant in the northeast
INTEL SOURCE eyewitness involved in the plan
ATTACK PROBABILITY: Federal authorities actively thwarting this plot authorities making arrest, this will not be made public


COMMENT: Concurrent with our warning over the last 30 days, the White House evac was specifically linked to information of cargo aircraft being flown into this building. The whole 'blip on the radar' being birds was meant for "bird-brained" people. Concurrent with the White House attack, Fed. agents are foiling the plan of an airplane being flown into a nuclear power plant. Plant is specific, but we can not post location at this point. NOTE: For those who expect this type info to appear on major

Re: the Virus Alerts you've gotten, I believe Stratfor got hit by the Dumaru worm, which sends itself out to everyone on the mailing list.

We used webtv til we got a computer last year, and I subscribed to Stratfor. The webtv is still hooked up and when I checked it tonight, my inbox was chock full of those Virus Alerts, the same ones you got, all pertaining to Stratfor.

I've checked Daleel's site, with the computer, and haven't gotten any alerts, but I also haven't subscribed to Stratfor with the computer.

I hope this eases your mind a bit. I know I've kept my eyes peeled for anything suspicious since going to that site and several of the others. Creepy is an understatement. brrrrr!

Thanks Fair. :) Dang 2 1/2 weeks of not much sleep and feeling like something is coming, wanting to do SOMETHING to help or stop it and can't, is going to kill me before the terrorists get a chance to try. Hopefully I just need committed and am being paranoid and nothing is wrong!! Just don't know why I feel so keyed up and am anticipating something major. Am glad you all are here, its a big help, since not all have the same intensity and worry for this country, or dig for info like these good people do. Said something to a friend the other day about Al-Queda and they said "WHOSE that?" I calmly hung up the phone and came to find people on here who have a frickin CLUE!!! Maybe ignorance is bliss and maybe I just don't like bliss...LOL
Excuse me I believe the little men in the white coats are knocking at my door to take me on vacation!!

Most of us have been focusing on the last two weeks during Ramadan. According to reports coming out today, next week seems to be the time to watch.

[BriarBey]

Been wondering how much quiet time these guys need before they attack. Someone said it gets quiet for awhile. Think they go into meditation and prayer and prepare themselves to face their deaths? I think I would definately need that. I don't have a desire to kill, its hard for me to understand and think the way they do. I deferr to the more militarily minded, while I go make the bed, and be so thankful this pretty sunny Sunday morn. that I have a bed to make. Blessings everyone and have a peaceful and safe day. My prayers to you all and my fellow countrymen.

New al Qaeda Warning - Threat Specific

During the coming Greater Bairam (Festival) we will break the tyrants necks

22 November 2003-- The "rule" that permitted the two explosions in Istanbul threatened‚ with the execution of a great work did not take place between the two feasts‚ as written in an electronic message to a Saudi magazine - **it will take place in the Greater Bairam**‚ the declaration of the rule for the responsibility about the explosions he gave in a statement on the Internet about the Egyptian Brigades of Abu-Hafs al-Masri‚ and in a message from the great Abu Mohammad to the magazine‚ and he states to be the spokesmen of the Al-Qaeda‚ as such he warned Washington in a secret notice that was distributed to the police and the security about a likely attack by Al-Qaeda against American interests abroad‚ but the warning did not cause a change in the Security Alert level, and in Istanbul they arrested persons accused of the involvement in two explosions Wednesday that reached two British targets‚ I canceled the vacations ???? the police ‚ about what ???‚ an exponent‚ by me‚ the British that one of the explosions aimed is its works yesterday completely‚ Hurriyet (Turkish Daily News) said that the police recognized the suicide bombers identity and they are two Turks, and it said that they are two terrorists that were caught within the framework of the double explosion that occurred at two Jewish temples last week‚ hitting Americans, ...

BAIRAM, a Perso-Turkish word meaning festival, applied in Turkish to the two principal festivals of Islam. The first of these, according to the calendar, is the Lesser Festival, called by the Turks Kutshuk Bairam (Lesser Bairam), or 5 he ker Bairdm ( Sugar Bairam), and by Arabic-speaking Moslems Id al-Fitr ( Festival of Fast-breaking), or Al-id a~~aghir ( Lesser Festival ). It follows immediately the ninth or the fasting-month, Ramalan, occupying the first three days of the tenth month, ShawwJ. It is, therefore, also called by Turks Ramazan Bairdm, and exhibits more outward signs of rejoicing than the technically Greater Festival. The second, or Greater Festival, is called by the Turks Qurban Bairdm, Sacrifice Bairam, and by Arabic speakers Al-id al-kabir, Greater Festival,, or 1~l al-a~l~id, Festival of Sacrifice. It falls on the tenth, and two or three following days, of the last month, Dhi-l-iiIjja, when the pilgrims each slay a ram, a he-goat, a cow or a camel in the valley of Min in commemoration of the ransom of Ishmael with a ram. Both festivals belong to a lunar calendar, and move through the solar year every thirty-two years. The Lesser Bairam is held at the close of the fast called Ramadan, and the Greater Bairam seventy days after the fast.


22 November 2003--Peace on you brother for the god in Ramadan heralds numerous successful blows... My brother, the strike inside America is coming... Allah willing. (Image with post)

WorldNetDaily.com: "MACHINE-GUNS FOUND ON AIRLINER New York-Bound Czech Flight Forced to Land in Iceland" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "When a New York-bound Czech Airlines flight was diverted to land in Iceland after a bomb threat was e-mailed to the U.S. Embassy in Prague, no bomb was found – but, according to Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, two tons of machine-guns were discovered in the baggage hold. The plane, which carried 174 passengers and crew, made an unscheduled landing Tuesday in Iceland, after the airline received a warning that a bomb was on board. The threat was delivered in an e-mail to the U.S. Embassy in Prague, which passed it on to the airline in the late afternoon.") (November 23, 2003) (Read More...)
