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.

I can't even find a News ticker about what is going on with the Staten Island Ferry. No one is reporting.

I don't know. It is stopped. Police activity. I see Oceanview reported it too here. I just got home about an hour ago. My nephew couldn't get back to NY and had to stay at his mom's.

I also want to include this brief, but very important information in this thread:

===
Iraqi officers: Al Qaida operatives were trained near Baghdad (Saddam recruited Al Qaeda)
Geostrategy Direct ^ | Dec. 30, 2003 | Geostrategy-Direct

Saudi nationals helped Saddam Hussein recruit and finance Al Qaida insurgents to confront U.S. troops in Iraq. Iraqi officers who have been interrogated by the United States and coalition officials said Saddam's contacts with Al Qaida preceded the group's Sept. 11, 2001 strikes on New York and Washington. They said Saudi envoys helped Al Qaida insurgents to enter Iraq and begin training in camps around Baghdad.

I just got back from web surfing news sites and can't find anything breaking for S.I. or NY.

Thank you for posting the wonderful prayer posts.

Praying and giving thanks along with you.

It reminds us that we are all in HIS hands.

[Calpernia]

Nor I. But I appreciate you looking. Did you see LayoutGuru's post about the Pentagon? I didn't see anything on News Tickers for that either.

[abner]

and to all of the others that have kept this thread going. Thanks.

I don't get to participate much, but whenever this thread comes up I read it.

[eastforker]

It's Christmas eve,or shall I say early morning.A major catastrophe could occur and we wouldn't hear about it for hours unless it happened in Europe or Asia.I doubt there is anyone in authority at any media center to release any news that happens.Merry Christmas U2 and thanks for keeping this thread alive.

[Cindy]

I must have missed that.
However, I didn't see anything in breaking
news on the Pentagon, either.

Celebrating CHRISTmas Eve day and
just turned on the TV now.
Nothing really new in the TV news, either.

[abner]

I'm going to do something I never do tonight. Put the TV on CNN overnight. If only Fox had live news 24/7! Sigh...

[Calpernia]

Appreciate the kudos you two; but it is, as always, a joint freeper effort.

All real news sources would be run by skeleton crews now with low level or newbie reporters. That is the one thing a dislike about holidays (only thing). I know, the reporters need to give thanks too. But I am guilty of "I want it now" (meaning information).

[Cindy]

This MIGHT be important regarding American points of Interest and MIGHT be why there is extra security in the area of certain landmarks, military installations, etc.

Rocket Hits Hotel With Westerners in Iraq
AP - 56 minutes ago
A roadside bomb exploded north of Baghdad on Wednesday, killing three U.S. soldiers in the deadliest attack on Americans since Saddam Hussein's capture. The military said a fourth American soldier was also killed Wednesday, and on Christmas morning, a rebel rocket shattered windows on a Baghdad hotel filled with Western contractors and journalists.

Did you guys catch the part that there were questionable Al Qaeda ties to the passengers on the plane lists? I assume we now get a list of who is coming before the plane leaves and that is how and why we requested that the planes should not come.

So WE KNEW some of the passengers were questionable and France allowed them to book flights? Why didn't France pick them up?

A good very broad synopsis of the security situation in NY, LA, Washington DC and the Pentagon.
