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

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.

Just out of curiousity, what is the coded message on your FR homepage?

Someone has shut that group down........I was reading those messages not a half hour ago....

We stumbled on to something big there it seems...

[prairiebreeze]

I see the messages... 19 of them.

I see em. Links work too.

It's a pgp key, in order to send secure email.

I have a super secret secure email address with a pgp key. Trouble is, I have nothing to say and neither does anyone I know.

[nicmarlo]

Yes, you see them, but you can't actually READ them.....trying clicking on them...you get that error message now.

"One way to tell if they yanked it.... one of us signs up to that group.........who wants to go first?? "

===

Are you kidding? Who do you think needs a visit from the FBI? If they shut down the group, that means that it does indeed have some terrorist connections, which also means that the threat it talked about, of imminent danger to the East Coast & LA is probably real.

I just hope that it will help the intel offices and law enforcement to foil the terror plot, before it happens.

But if you click on them.......you get an error message.

[MarMema]

I can read them...

"It's a pgp key, in order to send secure email."

Oh, you mean that is the KEY?

So by posting it, anyone who has the key can read your e-mail, if they hack into it, so what's the point of a secure e-mail, if you post the key one can use to break it?

[MarMema]

try this link.

[prairiebreeze]

Sure I can Nic. I'd copy and paste one here but don't want to be doing something stupid...inadvertently stupid that is.

Message I'm looking at says something about Ktaab 1, 2 etc. and refers to a training book

I can still see any of the pages I was looking at 30 minutes ago, but nothing I hadn't yet seen (perhaps in some browser cache?). Archiving now. Suggest others who can still see pages do the same.

[Dog]

That link leads you to a dead link....someone yanked them.

[nicmarlo]

That's very weird. Here's what I get when I click to read a message: The message you requested is temporarily unavailable because this group has exceeded its download limit. Please try again later.

[mhking]

Nope. The group is still there:

Eid ak Fitr is at the very end of Ramadan, and is considered an important Islamic holiday. The jihadists may get frisky..
