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

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.

Well what point was this guys life anyway. What did he prove and to whom??? A waste of time and effort on his part and the parents that created him.

Is that NY Fair? Osama walking right through spilling blood, that's not dropping any bio/chem from any rooftop!

Took the poll, here's the results:

Should countries which opposed war be denied contracts in Iraq?

Yes : 27%

No : 69%

Unsure : 4%

POLL ON RIGHT HAND SIDE

But note that it doesn't show an explosion.

I am really wondering about this picture, what it could mean.

[freeperfromnj]

I've been curious as well. Any idea what the large black shadow to the left means? He's holding a bloody sword - kind of like he's separating lower Manhattan from the rest of the city.

[Labyrinthos]

Hey, how have you been? I didn't see the fruit guy yesterday. Has he been around?

[freeperfromnj]

A-OK. The fruit guy never did return.

[Labyrinthos]

We should get together for a beer one day at that Irish Pub on 8th near the Post Office. BTW, to save me a lot of back reading, what's the sourse of the OBL poster?

[freeperfromnj]

I'm catching up on thread myself. I'm not sure of the source. According to #2272, it's been circulating the Jihadi sites. I'm trying to figure out what that face on the left is. American Indian? Hey, maybe they want to sell the Island back for 26 bucks.

[Labyrinthos]

I think the face is GWB.

[Hegemony Cricket]

My best guess about this poster - the "dark shadow to the left" is a bull with the face of a man. The bull (bull market?) is being sacrificed. This poster was associated with the threat of an attack coinciding with Greater Baraim (the feast of sacrifice). It's not any great revelation that another large attack on CONUS would derail the economic recovery that seems to be just now really picking up steam.

The medallion in the upper left is pretty unclear. Zooming in is useless because it is so pixellated. Almost looks like the dinosaur from one of the old petroleum companies back in the sixties.

[Labyrinthos]

I tried zooming in also. Thought it might be a camel. Sinclair was the oil company BTW.

[freeperfromnj]

a bull with the face of a man. The bull (bull market?) is being sacrificed.

That's a very sharp analysis.

[mhking]

Daleel has finally broken his "silence", eh?

I saw the image posted on NIN, and noted the face that is merged with the blackened area in the lower portion of the picture is GWB. With the bloody sword in OBL's hand and the blood running from the buildings, could this be yet another attack on lower Manhattan?

Allah Loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
Loaded down with dynamite
Allah loves the little children of the World.

Boortz gets credit.

[Velveeta]

The face does look like GWB. The animal may be a Buffalo. Osama has a sword.

My interpretation, fwiw:

"Cut the head off of GWB in Buffalo, NY." or "activate terrorist cell from Buffalo"

[freeperfromnj]

Another interesting analysis. That could tie in with the Niagara Falls threat at #2233.

[Velveeta]

It's close in proximity to Niagara. Also, some members of the Lackawanna Six Al Queda cell were just convicted in Buffalo...right?

Here is the analysis posted by Sean in another thread, where I also asked if anyone has an idea of the meaning.

His analysis sounds very interesting and credible.

Here it is, along with a link to his actual post.

Yes, I have. My analysis of it should appear shortly at HomelandSecurityUS.com.

The skyline is southern Manhattan without the WTC, so timing is post-911. The Staten Island ferry terminal and South Street seaport are to the left in this image. The east side of the building are sunlit indicating the morning hours as a time frame...just like 9/11.

The blood of the sacrifice comes from and otherwise emanates from the buildings, covers the streets, flows into the East River.

Most of all this image is a direct reference of time frame to Eid al-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice) and is a perfect match to the analysis of the translated jihad posts, both Turkish and Arabic jihadi websites. The first reference in print immediately followed the attacks in Turkey of the past COL of weeks.

On Tuesday I asked all for analysts to look for any reference in jihad forums to a Bull or a Ram in connection with a specific place, city, or country.

On Wednesday this image was up on the web site and it nearly floored me. Eid al-Adha.

The Bull is the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha. Osama is performing the sacrifice. (It could be New York City specifically, or a untypical American city. Recent jihad forum translation specifically point out NYC, DC and LA, along with all major US port facilities.)


This is also part of Saddam's longstanding "Phase 3" plan of actions. (I have been convinced for years that Iraq and AlQaeda were cooperating, as is Iran in attacks on the US and its interests going back to the WTC in '93, OKC and 9/11)

The goal of a series of massive biological, chemical and nuclear (radiological or tactical) on the US homeland is to isolate, cut-off or otherwise disrupt commo and other links between the US and our forces in Iraq. Once "isolated" our troops will be swarmed upon like Task Force ranger was swarmed upon in the Mog ten years ago. Major combat operations will once again be the order of the day in Iraq.

We know this Phase 3 of the plan because Qusai spoke of it in his newspaper "Babil" back in 2001, and Dr. Laurie Mylroie spoke of it in an interview with NewMax which I recently re-read.
