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.
Back in the good old days, it was said that the safest neighborhood was the one where the mafia dons lived. How times change.
The Terrorists are already trying to bomb Mecca .. and guess who will get the blame
It will freak out every muslim nut case .. which is not a good thing

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Police battled militants in the streets of the holy city of Mecca on Monday, killing two of the suspects and uncovering a large cache of weapons, the state news agency reported. The raid on two buildings in Mecca's al-Share'a neighborhood foiled a terrorist operation "that did not respect the sanctity of holy places and the month of Ramadan (search)" the holy month of fasting that began days ago, an Interior Minister was quoted as saying by the Saudi Press Agency. It was the second time this year that Saudi authorities have broken up suspected militant rings in Mecca (search) a city at the symbolic heart of the Saudi royal family's rule amid a wide crackdown on Islamic extremists. When police surrounded the buildings at 8 a.m., the suspects opened fire with automatic rifles and grenades, the official said. Police fired back as the militants fled in two cars, hitting one of the vehicles and killing two of its occupants. A cache of weapons and bombs were found inside the car, the official said. Security also seized fire arms including Kalashnikov rifles, hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenades, and material to make explosives in the raided premise. Passports, identification cards, and flyers were also found. Police are searching for the militants who escaped, the official said. It was not clear how many were at large, and the ministry official did not give details on the alleged terrorist plot. The government has been cracking down on Islamic militants since May 12 suicide bombings in Riyadh killed 26 people and nine attackers. On June 14, a raid on a terror cell plotting attacks in Mecca killed five Al Qaeda militants and two security agents. Police also found six dozen bombs and other weapons in the militants' hide-out. Saudis had reacted angrily to the threats against Mecca, the birthplace of Islam's seventh-century prophet and the heart of the annual pilgrimage every able-bodied Muslim is required to perform at least once. The legitimacy of Saudi rulers rests partly on their custodianship of the holy city, which is off-limits to non-Muslims. A strike on Mecca could be seen as a strike on the regime.

Islam Eclipse Now? - Ramadan 2003 and Muslim Prophecy |

Posted by Sabertooth On 10/28/2003 12:23 PM PST with 105 comments October 28th, 2003 | Collected by Sabertooth, others Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, a few of us Freepers became aware that Ramadan 2003 had special prophetic significance to certain Islamic sects. They are awaiting a spiritual avatar known as the Twelfth Mahdi, who will lead Muslims to great victories in war over the infidels. It's believed that this Mahdi will appear during a Ramadan with both a Solar and a Lunar Eclipse. This double Ramadan eclipse will occur this year, for the first time since 1786, and won't occur again until 2155. For those Muslims who place any credence in this prophecy, this year's Ramadan... |
We heard from people we know down in KY that all the Saudis living around Lexington bugged out the day before 9-11. Left the country. Maybe our best bet would be to watch some key folks to see what they do.
This scares me, too. I've been following this thread all day, and if I had testicles....they would be drawing up about now. What really makes me nervous, my son is leaving Thursday (eclipse day?) for Dubai, Bangkok, Istanbul and several cities in China, one very near the North Korean border. He will be gone for 10 days to these lovely garden spots. Upon his return, my husband leaves for Russia, Serbia and Slovakia. He returns on the 27th. (the other eclipse day?) Yep, I'm concerned.........and praying really hard.
Interesting... a "photo" of Osama, with what is obviously a SCUBA diver... VERY interesting...
