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.

The bottom line is, as a country we have to come to grips with the presence of 8 to 12 million illegals

No, we don't. They are illegals, plain and simple. We need to kick them out, enforcing the laws we currently have. If we have yet another amnesty they how long before we have yet another 8 to 12 million illegals. And on, and on.

"More disks missing at Los Alamos. (nuclear weapons info missing ... again!)"
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | DEc. 10, 2003 | Zachary Coile


Posted on 12/10/2003 7:57:58 PM PST by FairOpinion


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Washington -- Los Alamos National Laboratory can't account for nine floppy disks and a large-capacity storage disk that contain classified information, University of California officials said Tuesday, another embarrassing security lapse that jeopardizes UC's 60-year tenure as manager of the nation's top nuclear weapons design lab.

S. Robert Foley, UC's new vice president for laboratory management, ordered a security stand-down at the New Mexico lab while the Energy Department and the university separately investigate what happened to the disks. Lab officials insist there's no evidence that national security was compromised, but they said they couldn't guarantee that without finding the items."

"Milk alert as poison terrorist strikes"
By Bruce Johnston in Rome
(Filed: 10/12/2003)


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A terrorist known as the "Aquabomber", who has been poisoning bottles of mineral water in northern Italy, has started tampering with milk supplies.


Nearly a dozen victims, including three small children, have been taken to hospital with stomach pains after drinking water contaminated with bleach and acetone.


It is thought that syringes are being used to inject the poisons through bottle caps.


The poisonings have caused panic and a flurry of false alarms. On Monday alone, more than 20 cases of apparent tampering with bottles of different brands were reported in various regions."

"Bottled Water Deliberately Poisoned in Italy"
12/10/03 | vanity


Posted on 12/10/2003 8:09:15 AM PST by genefromjersey


SNIPPET: "This is intended as a "heads up" !!



In the last 2 weeks,10 people-including 2 small children-have been hospitalized in Italy after drinking bottled water,purchased in supermarkets,that had been poisoned with acetone,ammonia, or bleach . The contaminants had been injected into the bottles,just below their caps.



As of Monday, 12/08, at least 20 cases of contamination of various brands had been reported, and contamination has been found in 20 cities all over the country,including Sicily : giving rise to a suspicion there might be a "copycat factor" at work.



Fortunately, in most cases, consumers noticed the contamination before using the product, and alerted authorities.



Supermarkets have acted promptly: withdrawing thousands of bottles from their shelves, and setting up surveillance cameras;however,cartons of fruit juice and milk are now being tampered with...in-store."

Subject: Why Would an American Train for Jihad?By JR

 
Why Would an American Train for Jihad?

By Jeremy Reynalds on 08/26/03


While we have all heard the term "suicide bomber," I think most of us
still wonder what makes people someone blow up a bus in Israel or
crash a plane into the World Trade Center? Is it an intense hatred for
those whom will die as a result of their actions, or a fervent belief
that what they are doing is obeying "God?"

While I cannot vouch for the absolute authenticity of the following
story, it does give a fascinating glimpse into the mind and motivation
of a young man who as a 19-year-old Muslim felt "called" to fight
"injustice" in Kashmir for the cause of Allah.

According to his storyteller, a fellow jihadi, Abu Adam was born into
a very wealthy family in Atlanta, Ga. He excelled in most of his
childhood activities and was known to be a kind and caring person,
although he kept to himself a lot.

After graduating high school he went to college in Durham, North
Carolina. There he studied Islam in depth and made friends sympathetic
to his position.

While at college, Adam began to read about the experiences of Muslims
in places such as Bosnia, Burma, Kashmir, and Chechyna. He became so
concerned about what he believed was the "oppression" of Muslims in
these lands that he wanted to take an active part in doing something
about it.

As the writer of Adam's story commented, "It was at this crucial
juncture of Abu Adam's development that he left college and began to
prepare for the journey that most never think about- much less prepare
for- jihad. The burning desire to wage jihad against the enemies of
Allah soon overtook Abu Adam, and thus he began a program of training
to prepare himself for the extremely difficult battle conditions.
Perhaps we may pay heed and take benefit from his program."

Preparation for Jihad

Adam took his new found commitment seriously and began to prepare
accordingly. Among other preparations, he began to pray and fast more
as well as reading the Koran daily and reading various sayings of the
prophet Muhammad. He also worked on his attitude, concentrating on
submissiveness and humility. "He realized that jihad is directly
connected to the ... spiritual cultivation of the person," his
storyteller commented.

Adam also prepared physically, running, exercising and practicing
military maneuvers.

According to his storyteller, "(Adam) went one day to an army surplus
store and bought a pair of danners. For those of you who do not know,
danners are very heavy and very tough military and hunting boots that
feel like a ton when worn. Abu Adam would run only in these boots, and
he would refuse to wear running shoes. It was reported that he used to
tie a long rope around his waist with a cinder block tied to the end –
running in this manner for conditioning."

After training for many months, he went to Kashmir in November 1997.

Commando Training

Adam began his training in Ramadan 1997 with the mujahideen of lashkar
taiba in Kashmir, reportedly the most feared fighters of the entire
area. Adam chose to train in midwinter – the hardest time of the year.

In order to understand the intensity of Adam's training it is helpful
to know that Kashmir is situated in the Hindu Kush mountain range, the
tallest mountains in the world. Adam's training camp was reportedly
located 26,000 feet above sea level – an elevation making regular
walking, let alone marching, extremely difficult.

Adam's training consisted mainly of marching throughout the day and
long into the night carrying a 35 pound backpack – sometimes more.
This was to help the fighters to successfully enter heavily protected
Kashmir.

While training, Adam also fasted. As his storyteller commented:

"He would fast in the day while running miles in the cold Kashmiri
mountain paths. He would train in military tactics while having numbed
limbs from the intense cold of winter. He would continue to shout
`Allahu Akbar' even while his throat was dry and parched for lack of
water due to his fast. He would climb through the beautiful snow
covered Kashmiri mountains even while his body lacked nutrients
because of his fasting. He would break his fast on dirty brown colored
water taken from a running stream, and he would eat the lentils that
always gave him digestive and stomach problems."

After four months, Adam completed his training. Its severity resulted
in some battle scars for him, though. The region's intense cold gave
him frostbite on his toes and he also contracted a serious stomach
illness from which he lost a lot of strength. However, he would not
give up, saying he had come too far to turn back.

After resting for a few weeks, Adam received the news for which he had
been waiting. He was going to fight. He was ecstatic. Finally he was
getting the opportunity to take part in jihad!


Preparation for Jihad

Adam's storyteller soon met back up with him "to infiltrate ... into
the occupied valley. We were only waiting for our slot ... to strike
down and destroy the enemies of Allah, the vile Hindus and Sikhs from
the Indian army. This sometime long waiting period is perhaps the most
frustrating part of jihad ... It is at this point that a person must
guard his thoughts and occupy his time before he goes to battle."

Adam's storyteller praised his friend's religious devotion. "When
being around him one always wanted to do (draw closer to Allah). I
recall that when all of us were sleeping ... I woke up and (went)
outside for some fresh air (where I saw) Abu Adam practicing his
firing stances and maneuvers with his ak-47 in the hot sun. I said to
myself, "subhaanallah ! when does he stop ?" may Allah the most high
grant us determination like Abu Adam, ameen."

Jihad

In early July the waiting fighters received the news for which they
had been waiting. Weapons were loaded the equipment and gear were
distributed.

"It was time to wage jihad and secure some expensive real estate in
the Jannah. And as always, Abu Adam demanded that he carry more gear
and ammo than anyone else in the group ...
Unfortunately, some of us were separated from Abu Adam and his group
due to external factors, so at this launching point would be the last
time I would see my brother Abu Adam, may Allah have mercy upon him.
Indeed, he was crying from happiness and at the same time, realizing
that this is the last time we will see him for a long while."

After five days, Adam and his fellow jihadis entered into the occupied
valley of Kashmir. There he laid ambushes and carried out reportedly
successful raids against the "Indian oppressors." After two- and- a-
half months, Adam finally achieved what he wanted.

As his storyteller recounted, "Adam and his team of brothers launched
a bloody raid on an army post in the Doda sector in the Jammuu region.
Reports indicate that out of the 34 Indians killed in the action, Abu
Adam was responsible for killing 17. Allahu akbar !"

Adam got killed shortly thereafter. As his storyteller wrote, "I
remember him saying to me once, "`I want to get shot in the chest so
that my soul doesn't leave immediately and I can prostrate to Allah on
the battlefield before my soul leaves my body.' I can't help but
wonder if he got his last wish or not."

The news of Adam's death eventually reached his non-Muslim family in
Atlanta. According to his storyteller, after hearing the news his
older sister Lisa took became a Muslim.

"May Allah make her like her brother," Adam's storyteller prayed. He
concluded with the words, "And do not think those killed in the way of
Allah as being dead. Nay they are alive with their lord being provided
for."


i thank JR for this nice true story...may god open the eyes of other
people with it.

Did you see the picture at the homelandsecurity.com site?

I wonder what it means. I think all indications are that AQ IS preparing for some spectacular attack -- I just hope we will foil them.

I believe his picture has been around for a while - I've seen it at a Jihadist website in the last 6 months. So far we've had the usual holiday chatter and the feds issuing typical daily CYAs. OBL is running out of time to martyr himself before the end of this year - This is the one thing that has me spooked the most.

re post no 2270...If I'm not mistaken that graphic is a part of a larger banner, I believe I've seen it before, also. Sometimes the jihadi B.S. all runs together, like reading grafitti written by gang bangers on a wall...

OPINION: I firmly believe that UBL is deader than a stuffed skunk, but his evil spirit lives on. The graphic in 2270 is an encouragement for all jihadis and wannabe's to go do their thing. In the graphic it looks like UBL is bigger than life and wearing a bomb belt and that my friends IS THE MESSAGE in plain sight.

"Mother of 7 held in bomb plot"
Jerusalem Post ^ | Dec. 10, 2003 | Margot Dudkevich


Posted on 12/10/2003 6:45:50 AM PST by Alouette


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A 40-year-old mother of seven children from Nablus was one of three Palestinians arrested by soldiers and Shin Bet agents on Monday for attempting a suicide bombing in Rosh Ha'ayin, security sources said Tuesday.

The concrete warnings received by the Shin Bet sparked a high alert in the Sharon, which was lowered after the capture of the suicide bomber and his helper.

On Tuesday morning, a belt containing eight kilograms of explosives that was to be used in the attack was found by security forces and blown up.

Details of the arrests was released by the Shin Bet on Tuesday. The attack was planned by the Fatah Tanzim infrastructure in Nablus, headed by fugitive Halil Araisha, 23, a resident of the Balata refugee camp. On Monday morning, would-be suicide bomber Suleiman Abu Rawis, 20 of Balata, set out from Nablus together with Tsaber Abu Saris, 37, a Nablus resident. The woman, Latifa Abu Thra'ar, carried the explosives in a separate vehicle.

They believed this was safer, as she was less likely to be subjected to an inspection at IDF roadblocks they had to pass through until they reached their designated meeting point in Kafr Kasim. Officials noted that the meeting spot was chosen because there is no security fence in the area."

The USA is planning a big operation to coincide with the Feast of al-Eid.

In fact, we are planning a big operation for every day between now and then, and every day after that.

It's called Operation Jihadi Kiss Your Ass Goodbye.

Unlike all of the Al Qaeda "operations" announced for July 4, 2002; September 11, 2002; Ramadan 2003; and all the rest, Operation Jihadi Kiss Your Ass Goodbye is real.

This fact is not unrelated to the absence of attacks at home since 9/11, IMO.
