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 know you missed a lot; but I have to leave shortly.

The key message to to start with is here:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1013726/posts?page=5065#5065

This page return, http://www.twexus.com/subpage_55/?f=sea&text=Ahlam+hu+Akhbar+ is scripted with "Sea" as a hidden value. We have been following references here to sea/water etc. for a while.

Does Ahlam Hu Or Akhbar have any direct translation or meaning to the word sea?

As far as I know neither Ahlam nor Akhbar (Akbar) have any connection to sea at all.

Allah Akbar (Allah hu Akbar and various other spellings) is the traditional call to jihad. I haven't seen Ahlam Akbar used in this context before. That leads me to believe it might be some sort of code, or coded message, that would not immediately be recognized by those who do not understand Arabic. They two phrases sound very similar when spoken.

I'll do a little research on this for you this morning. Hope this helps.

From Steve Quayle:

Hidden Meanings, Hidden Words

January 19, 2003

The following NewsMax article is very informative; but most importantly, read between the lines - there are many prophetic implications here...Islamic extremism LOVES prophecy, dreams, and visions. Hidden throughout the Imams' words are hidden messages. For instance, please take note of the last paragraph, "When I say Takbia, you say Alhaam hu Akhbar," he exhorted the protesters, who repeated the phrase several times. It could not be immediately learned what the Imam's coded message to the world's Muslims meant."

Lampholder Interpretation, and Prophetic Discernment:

This is clearly a call to anarchy, "jihad," rebellion, mutiny, revolution, etc., and for all Muslims to unite against the United States and its allies (including Israel). "Alhaam hu Akhbar" is a "decree or order of Allah" to overthrow the infidels through murder, suicide, and any method possible. It is a similar pronouncement given in 'Allah' hu akhbar," (Allah, or God, is great). This, we believe, is a signaled code given on the virtual doorstep of the United States capitol against the United States government/leaders/authorities, and leaders/representatives of Christianity. The Lampholder believes this to fall directly in line with the latest prophecy:

~ AWARENESS - A PROPHETIC FOREWARNING

UOSAMA bin Laden WILL RISE AGAIN!

January 26 - February 7, 2003

Read the latest prophecy at www.lampholderpub.com

"Alhaam hu Akhbar" a message and a call to "war." It is sometimes given just prior to the acts of war. This rhetoric is not new, but considering the time-frame and the latest prophetic warnings, it should be considered a "high prophetic alert." The countries specifically indicated in "Alhaam hu Akhbar" are not only the United States/Israel, but a call to the Muslims throughout the world; and at this point in time, we discern especially in Afghanistan (also against India), Germany, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Africa regions. It is also a call to those Islamic extremists "hidden" within the music industry.

- Terror attacks could be imminent. - Please be in prayer, intercession, and spiritual warfare against those who would cause harm and destruction.

Bin Laden Sends Greetings to D.C. Protesters?

A representative from a Muslim advocacy group offered greetings to tens of thousands of anti-war protesters gathered in Washington, D.C., on Saturday in the name of the "Mujahideen," a term that has come to be closely associated with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terror network.

Dr. Ghazi Khaksan, of the Council on American Islamic Relations, took to the podium near the end of the rally to read a poem packed with criticism of the Bush administration.

"Tell Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Tony Blair to stop colonizing Middle East oil through blood and warfare," he told the crowd. "We're all against weapons of mass destruction. But let's compare. Who has them stockpiled in the Middle East - only Israel, I declare."

Near the end of his poem, Khaksan announced, "I bring to you salaams and greetings from the Mujahadeen at CAIR." CAIR's spokesman Ibrahim Hooper defended bin Laden two months ago as being no worse than the Rev. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.

Webster's Collegiate dictionary defines Mujahideen as: "person who wages jihad: Islamic guerrilla fighters esp. in the Middle East."

In December, top al-Qaeda official Sulaiman Abu Ghaith invoked the Mujahideen to threaten further terrorist attacks on the West.

"The Christian-Jewish alliance will not, God willing, be safe from attacks by the mujahadeen," he warned, according to the New York Post. "The alliance's installations and facilities everywhere will be subject to attacks."

After his reference to the Mujahideen, Khaksan told the crowd somewhat incongruously, "Ten million Muslims and Arab Americans, like you, are truly patriotic and deeply care for America's welfare."

In a November interview with WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg, Hooper defended bin Laden, saying the terrorist mastermind was no worse than Falwell and Robertson.

"They're the equivalent of our Osama bin Laden," the CAIR official charged, before asking rhetorically, "Why did Osama bin Laden send planes into the World Trade Center? What possible reason? The only thing you can think of is that he wanted to create a permanent divide between the Muslim world and the West. And that's the same thing these guys want to do."

Asked about bin Laden's penchant for mass murder, Hooper responded, "Given the right circumstance, [Falwell and Robertson] would do the same in the opposite direction."

Minutes before Khaksan offered greetings from the bin Laden-connected group, Imam Mousa Masjid Al-Islam took to the podium and called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.

"It's revolution time, brothers and sisters. We gotta get rid of this system," Al-Islam said. "The people of the world [are] waiting on us," he added, warning that the world's problems "will never be solved as long as we have these greedy murderers and imperialists like George Bush and George Bush Jr. sitting in the White House "

Then the Imam led the crowd in an Islamic chant specifically addressed to what he called "the 1.5 billion people in the world" who would understand its meaning.

"When I say Takbia, you say Alhaam hu Akhbar," he exhorted the protesters, who repeated the phrase several times. It could not be immediately learned what the Imam's coded message to the world's Muslims meant.

Hmmm didn't even think about the word Alhaam.

Ahlam and Alhaam are two very different words. I didn't think about Alhaam - it's not used often in daily conversation. An "Alhaam Akbar" is as the posting indicates the "Greatest Order". "Ahlam" is a dream so "Ahlam Akbar" is the "Greatest Dream".

I don't see any connection to "sea". Sea would be most likely translated as "Bahr"

Mike Emmanuel of Fox News is reporting this morning that France has informed the European WSJ that the Air France flight cancellations on Christmas Eve were due to a mistake by the FBI. Emmanuel reporting that the source told the European WSJ that the FBI assumed a name on a passenger list of a child was mistaken for someone else.

The FBI denies this.

French flights to US cancelled due to FBI mistake, France says

Fri Jan 2, 5:49 AM ET

PARIS (AFP) - The French government cancelled six Air France flights between Paris and Los Angeles last month after US investigators wrongly identified six passengers as potential terrorists, the interior ministry said.

A ministry spokesman said the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had based its information on passenger lists containing names similar to those of suspected al-Qaeda operatives who appear on US watch lists.

"A check was carried out in each case and in each case it turned out to be negative," a ministry spokesman told AFP.

"The FBI worked with family names and some family names sound alike," the spokesman said. He noted that some of the names had been transliterated from Arabic, which uses a different alphabet from French and English.

"The difficulty is compounded when you have no first name or date of birth," he said.

The French government agreed after 48 hours of talks with US officials to cancel three Air France flights from Paris to Los Angeles as well as the three return legs operated by the flag carrier on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

The FBI said its information showed that Al-Qaeda activists planned to hijack an Air France plane and crash it on US soil in a suicide terror strike similar to those carried out on September 11, 2001.

But the Wall Street Journal reported Friday that one of the Air France passengers singled out by the FBI was a child whose name happened to be the same as a wanted Islamic extremist from Tunisia.

The others on the list were an elderly Chinese lady who had at one time run a restaurant in Paris, an insurance salesman from Wales and three French nationals, the paper said.

The cancellations came amid heightened fears of a terror attack over the Christmas period. The United States on December 21 stepped up its national security alert to Code Orange, which warns of a "high risk of terrorist attacks."

On Thursday, British Airways cancelled one of its three daily passenger flights from London's Heathrow Airport to Dulles International Airport outside Washington. BA said it was still deciding whether to operate Friday's flight.

And Aeromexico's daily flight from Mexico City to Los Angeles was cancelled for a second day in a row because of security concerns, the US embassy in Mexico City said late Thursday in a statement.

Washington has also called for armed sky marshals to be deployed on foreign flights thought to be at risk.

But a French police spokesman said that "not the slightest physical or personal evidence" was uncovered as a result of the FBI's information about the cancelled Air France flights between Paris and Los Angeles.

He noted that the anti-terrorism unit at the public prosecutor's office in Paris had seen no need to open an investigation into the matter.

Air France resumed its flights to Los Angeles on December 26.

The Washington Post reported that two Air France flights were escorted by US Air Force F-16 fighter jets when they landed at Los Angeles on Tuesday and Wednesday -- a report indirectly confirmed Friday by France's junior transport minister Dominique Bussereau.

"Currently, the air bases of the countries concerned are on a high state of alert, and it's not unthinkable for civilian aircraft to be followed at a distance by military jets," Bussereau told private radio Europe 1.

"That has been the case in the United States," the minister added.

Asked to confirm the Post report, he said: "US authorities don't communicate this kind of information to us, but if the Washington Post, which is a serious newspaper, says so, we have every reason to believe it's accurate."
