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.

re post no. 575...

Thank you so much.

I appreciate it.

The trouble with these postings is that, in hindsight, you can find one predicting some Mohammedan attack for any given day somewhere. It's a Muslim thing.

Glad to oblige. Dick was such a joke on Hardball tonight. How anyone could vote for him astounds me. He was asked about the Patriot Act and why he voted for it, and his reply was, 'the first thing I'd do as President is fire John Ashcroft'. He then claimed the Patriot Act is being interpreted wrongly by Ashcroft and it wasn't what he and others voted for. What a fool.

Thanks so much for the extra special tutorial in anti Semitism tonight. Anti Semitic lies as promulgated by rockitz. And now your feelings are hurt, because I called a spade a spade when you spread the lie that Jews bailed out of the World Trade Center due to knowledge of the Muslim attack.

You can dish it it out but can't take it. The Muslims invent cute lies about the Jews so you figure you'll copy them.

Thanks.

After losing so much on 09-11 I found myself worrying constantly about everything. Every bridge I drove over, every train or subway became a torture for me.

Then I realized (with a lot of prayer and help from God) that I was allowing myself to be terrorized.

Life here is short. I'm not letting demons sap my joy.
If we do, they win.

The first photo is of Islamic calligraphy saying "La Allaha El Allah wa Mohamed Rasoul Allah" (sorry - the transliteration isn't very good without diacritical symbols). That translates to "There is no God bu God (Allah) and Mohamed is the Prophet of God (Allah)" - basically the Islamic shahada (roughly translates to "creed" or "oath")

I think I see the frogman or diver in the second photo too, beside the smiling Bin Laden.

bump .... interesting ...

At least Canada asks a few questions when we arrive. The USA doesn't know we have left our borders and they don't know when we re-enter, we are out of country simply on our own.

an ounce of intelligence

Well, that let's all of you out.

Creepy, the clock came up in my time zone.

It is some kind of 'Flash' program.

Something to add to your links, in case you haven't seen it:

Cases of piracy at sea leap, Indonesia worst (some by Al Qaeda)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1011867/posts

Piracy on the high seas has reached record levels and Indonesian waters are the most dangerous in the world, an ocean crime watchdog said Friday.

The International Maritime Bureau, or IMB, said the number of reported ship attacks leaped to 344 in the first nine months of this year, 26 percent more than the 271 recorded in the same period in 2002.

In July it reported three attempted boardings in less than a week, with pirates firing automatic weapons at two gas tankers and an oil tanker.

Western intelligence agencies and maritime security experts have gone further. Some have linked al Qaeda, or militant groups associated with it, to piracy in Indonesia's waters.

Some experts say al Qaeda showed its nautical strategy and sophisticated seaborne attack capability by bombing the Limburg oil tanker off Yemen in 2002 and U.S. warship USS Cole in 2000.

Jemaah Islamiyah, a group whose goal is to create an Islamic state enveloping Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the southern Philippines, has also been identified by experts as capable of hijacking a supertanker and exploding it in the strait.

You missed this one: Mansoor Ijaz on Greta Van Suesteren - Al Qaeda Planning on Hijacking Super Tankers!

Good catch, Mine was a list of Mahdi articles. I added yours to TERRORSHIPS.

I'm sure I've seen more articles than that, though. I'll have to look around.

[rintense]

Well I really like Mansoor Ijaz. I'd be interested to see if he has any additional insight into this Ramadan.

...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.

I hope they don't "flee" to Philly. We're right in between NY and Washington.

[Cindy]

re post no. 568...I think one of the forum groups said something about a web site of interest...let's see if I can find it...hold on..yep, here it is...Don't know if "Al-Mahdi" has anything to do with Mahdis' listed on your great list of links.

TALIYAH.org - Taliyah Al-Mahdi (Discussion Forums)

[Cindy]

I wonder if they mean the state of Washington vs. Washington, D.C.?

[Jorge]

I wonder if they mean the state of Washington vs. Washington, D.C.?

Good question.
Muslims should probably "flee" both just to be safe.

[MarMema]

They mean Washington DC. They will never do a major destruction out here.
