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.

Another U.S. official said a handful of foreign flight crew members had been stopped in recent days.

And many have been let go, long ago.

What I was reffering to, was stories about kids and others, who claimed that they had prior knowledge, but didn't. That story, concerning the schoolboy, in Brooklyn, for example, was investigated thoroughly and disproved.

There's plenty that happened, is still happening, that we don't know a thing about...on all sides of this. OTOH, this EOM doesn't sound quite real.

Oops that's the same story I linked to, but I didn't read it thoroughly enough. I've been trying to absorb as much data as quick as I can, so that's probably why I didn't catch the NYC reference in the middle of the article.

"it implies that our intel agencies are clueless and ineffective."

"Impotent" as 'EOM' put it, and he's right.

that story was reposted here a few days ago I think. I believe it said the father of the kid left for pakistan, doesn't sound like much of an interrogation to me. the kid surely heard it from his father, and the father left the country. I can't find the article.

Re: post #2793:

Thanks for the input, swarthyguy.

This issue of swatikas came up because of a video clip Calpernia posted that had a swastika in it. We were trying to figure out what country it represented in the video.
I thought Germany because of the Nazi's. Up until Calpernia mentioned the Hindus using the symbol, I'd forgotten the Nazis had hijacked it.

The arms of the swastika in the video are in the opposite direction of those in the pic you posted.

They view themselves as taking over the USA in at least geopolitical terms if not literally on our own shores as well.

I view the Chinese as strategic, long term planners. The implement policy based on a Road-map that will facilitate economic growth that is at least 20% annually, which is needed just to support their growing population. This is why Honk Kong is allowed to exist.

In my opinion, China is content in waiting 20 to 40 years for the conditions to be right, to politically and economically control America.

As American ports get gobbled up by China, and global communications companies, like Global Crossing fall into China Hands, Corporate money from these multi-billion national companies start to have influence on capital hill in terms of lobbyists, fundraisers and the like, until China has a American Government body this is pandering to their corporation's operating in America. It is not to long after that that judges, local Government, etc. will fall into their hands, essentially, politically and economically controlling America, with all new laws being favorable to China's success to overthrow America without ever firing a shot.

No doubt there's much truth in your assertions.

However, I believe there are some very powerful Chinese leaders who are antsy to rush their conquests.

Some of that is out of their own arrogance and greed for both power and reputation. Some of it is their ignorance of the complexities involved--or their disdane--not caring about them--pay any price in their own people etc.

They will be quick to take any advantage and any perceived weakness in the USA to exploit it for their own greedy advantage.

They are better power mongers than even Shrillery.

But its a known fact that Osama steps over into Pakistan to be protected, so why listen to Mushareef?

The father, IIRC, was interogatted when he returned. He checked out and the kid later said that he was lying. There were quite a number of stories and followups, on this one particular story, not all of them posted to FR.
