Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat
Debka ^ | 11-3-2003 | Staff

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.

CNS NEWS.com: "Terrorists Might Launch 'Mega Attack' in Israel on New Year's Eve"
By Julie Stahl
CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief
December 29, 2003

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Terrorist organizations are planning to carry out a "mega" terror attack on New Year's Eve, according to intelligence information, an Israeli newspaper said on Monday.

According to the warnings, the terrorists plan to inflict massive casualties either by striking with a non-conventional attack, hitting an infrastructure target or attacking soft targets such as schools or hospitals, said the report in the Hebrew daily Ma'ariv.

Israeli government sources would not confirm the warnings specifically for Wednesday night but said that Israel continues to receive information on scores of possible terror attacks, including "mega attacks."

Israel is constantly on the lookout to thwart attacks, the sources said."

Philippines to expel U.S. brothers
Tuesday, December 30, 2003 Posted: 4:32 AM EST (0932 GMT)

MANILA, Philippines (CNN) -- Philippine authorities have arrested and are preparing to deport two American brothers accused of having ties to terrorist organizations for violating the country's immigration laws.

James Stubbs Jr., 56, and Michael Ray Stubbs, 55, were arrested December 13 in Tanza, south of Manila, in a joint operation by the Philippine Navy, Philippine Marine Corps and the Bureau of Immigration and Deportation.

Officials said James, a teacher from California who is married to a Filipino, was a Muslim convert who also uses the name Jamil Daud Mujahib.

The men are charged with violating the Philippine immigration act.

In classifying the men as "undesirable aliens, the Bureau of Immigration cited intelligence reports that the brothers were 'seen meeting with known leaders of various terrorist cells in the country with links to the al Qaeda,'" Immigration Commissioner Andrea Domingo told a news conference on Tuesday.

Navy Chief Vice Admiral Ernesto De Leon said intelligence gathered indicated that "Mujahid and Stubbs were suspected of having been involved in the elaborate financial network of the al Qaeda terrorist networks and its counterpart in the country, notably the Abu Sayaff group and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front."

He said they are alleged to have meet with leaders of charity organizations used as fronts for al Qaeda.

Mujahid had lived in the country since February, officials said. They described the younger Stubbs as a recently retired air-conditioning technician who had worked for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Livermore, operated by the University of California, is one of the major labs in the United States dealing with nuclear weapons development and also does sensitive work in biomedicine, energy and environmental science.

They were paraded before reporters as Domingo spoke leading to fierce protest from James.

"I am an American citizen," he shouted. "Nobody's telling me anything. They're just saying we're undesirables," he said after armed guards brought in the brothers in handcuffs and yellow T-shirts emblazoned with "detainee", Reuters news agency reported.

"I don't know Muslims anywhere but in America. My brother is not even Muslim, he's a Christian," he told reporters.

Domingo later clarified that the two were suspected of plotting against the government of the United States, not the Philippines, Reuters reported.

No, it is just a listing of the route taken to reach a destination IP address on the Internet. IP addresses can be spoofed and/or partially hidden by sophisticated users, but I believe there are telltale signs when this is done. I am just a novice at this sort of thing. The Visual Trace Route program costs $50 which is a bit steep IMHO, but I like the map it presents and it is more persistent at tunneling through long timeouts that defeat some of the free Web-based tracers. Looks like the ISP in the UAE was telling VTR to buzz off.

{{{IMPORTANT!}}}
The thing we miss the most are "Homegrown Terrorism" there have been many incidents not making the news but here are a few:

Truck Driver, and Terrorist’Ohio Man Admits ‘Secret Life’ Plotting With Al Qaeda - June 19 — An Ohio truck driver who lived a "secret double life" has admitted to meeting with Osama bin Laden and plotting with al Qaeda to launch new attacks in the United States, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced today.

Hits on Yahoo on subject

The one that scares me the most:

The terror threat at home, often overlooked - Christian Science Monitor ^ | 12/28/03 | Kris Axtman - Posted on 12/28/2003 7:02:10 PM CST by Holly_P - As the media focus on international terror, a Texan pleads guilty to possessing a weapon of mass destruction. - HOUSTON - It began as a misdelivered envelope and developed into the most extensive domestic terrorism investigation since the Oklahoma City bombing. Last month, an east Texas man pleaded guilty to possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Inside the home and storage facilities of William Krar, investigators found a sodium-cyanide bomb capable of killing thousands, more than a hundred explosives, half a million rounds of ammunition, dozens of illegal weapons, and a mound of white-supremacist and antigovernment literature.

The reasoning of fear is because the chem bombs have been discussed recently. The speculation at FR for years about dispersal. Lately the what would these chem bombs contain. We now have our answer - sodium-cyanide! And the fact EOS types like a white-supremacist.

So to me we are looking at the alliance of these homegrown phreaks and AlQ.

And lets not forget this:

Feds fear new anthrax from the new Homeland Security Drill dubbed "Scarlet Cloud" although we are better off than pre 911, we are still very vulnerable to anthrax attack and a large attack would kill thousands

The Tightrope Is Fraying Under the President of Pakistan - By AMY WALDMAN - Published: December 30, 2003 - ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Dec. 29 — After the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Gen. Pervez Musharraf made a bold choice to reverse his country's support for the Taliban government in neighboring Afghanistan, and instead to ally Pakistan with the American campaign against terror.

A Nuclear Headache: What if the Radicals Oust Musharraf? - By DAVID E. SANGER and THOM SHANKER - Published: December 30, 2003 - CRAWFORD, Tex., Dec. 29 — Two recent assassination attempts against Pakistan's president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, have renewed concern in the Bush administration over both the stability of a critical ally and the security of its nuclear weapons if General Musharraf were killed or removed from office. - Administration officials would not discuss their contingency plans for Pakistan, but several said the White House was revisiting an effort begun just after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to help Pakistan improve the security of its nuclear arsenal and to prevent Al Qaeda or extremists within the Pakistani military or intelligence services from gaining access to the country's weapons and fissile material

The police are telling those who plan to attend to leave bags and backpacks at home, and revelers will be screened as they enter a series of fenced areas in Times Square from side streets, officials said

I wonder about the White Supremist working with Al Queda or being copy cats.

The KKK is suppose to meet in undisclosed place Jan 31-Feb 2 near Vegas for a concert/bbq.

I was reading the forum for the event and one poster suggested buying all your camping gear at Wal Mart using it and returning it the next week. Yuk

Ignorant and Cheap what a turn off.
