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.

A bit disconcerting that several of those sites are now gone. It leaves one asking, "Shut down by the authorities or the calm before the storm?"

Wishing for a safe and happy New Year for all.

Congressman warns to stay out of times square on New Year's Eve

Shays would want to make Bush look bad, he masquerades as a Republican

Bump!

An explosion Monday in Riyadh was aimed at a top official of the Interior Ministry's Mabahith branch, the Saudi equivalent of the FBI, the diplomat said, speaking on condition of anonymity

Where is the Mabahith branch located?

[JustPiper]

Thank goodness!

[JustPiper]

Well, look, Shays is already saying no one should be in Times Square

[Labyrinthos]

I heard that last night, but I'm not sure I should start paying attention to him now after ignoring him for so many years. I she on any committee that would put him in the know?

[JustPiper]

I trust Shays about as much as Ridge

"0-6,please go a little easier on calling that feller my friend.Once could be sarcasm but twice was begginning to sound like you were serious. :)"

I intended it as sarcasm. No way could someone with such a handle as "Free Trapper" become friends with an avowed lunatic whose goal was the destruction of all that a true free trapper would hold dear. Not even a "company" trapper, like one of Ashley's or Sublette's boys, would ever associate with such a fool (although he, the fool, might very well feel right at home with one of Bug's Boys, more commonly known as a Blackfoot). Watch yer topknot, ol' hoss, and mayhaps one day we'll meet at "Rondy-Voo!"

According to Shays' website, he is the Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Security and Emerging Threats, and also serves on the Homeland Security Committee. Perhaps we should take his warning series.

Thanks and I understand what you're saying. A couple of quick points if I may:

1) The Saudi's have been advised through proper channels.

2) While this is an area of interest it doesn't deserve to be bannered on the web page imho because we have much more immediate threats and concerns regarding the targets and operations AQ, et al, are planning for America. The web site is afterall HomelandSecurityUS.com and NOT KingdomSecuritySA.com (Sorry, I couldn't resist ;) )

btw, how many people in the NYC metro area are going to Times Square tonight to wait for the plane to land, err, I mean the ball to come down.
