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.713...

I understand what you're saying.
It could leave one absolutely sleep-deprived going through these key-word searches nightly.

One has to go through a lot of "nothing much" to find a few gems.

That is why I admire you greatly that you always have dozens of great, relevant links handy on a lot of topics.

I don't know how you do it, but it's absolutely terrific! :)

Jesse Jackson, move over. We have some new pretenders to the race-baiting thrown. I must know- is this an organized effort? Do you ping each other in FReep mail so you can pile on? What's the payoff? Shall I sacrifice a young spotless bull on the altar and pledge my first born to the work of the Lord?

Just amazing! Get a life!

You can disagree if you like but they have more support here than in any other part of the country. Here is their largest mosque after 9-11. All the flowers and gifts were given to them because a few people said a few bad things about them as muslims.

Additionally this mosque is one of the largest and oldest in the country and has a special significance as a holy site. They can skip visiting Mecca and go here instead and it's acceptable for their religious requirement.

We're as safe as we can be here from a major terrorist attack. We have about 70,000 muslims in the greater Seattle area alone.

[MarMema]

If they had to leave town they would leave behind a semi-holy site in Northgate, and 7 other mosques, plus a growing school in Medina and 2 more mosques being built.

Nope they're settling in here to stay. I bet we have more than Detroit here now. We're up to 80,000 by the most recent PI article I could find in the Seattle area alone, and adding at least 10,000 per year.

[MarMema]

Not me. I put my money on the seaport theory a long time ago as a next target and I'm sticking with it.

I don't think they care half as much about killing us or terrorizing us as they do about hitting us financially.

[MarMema]

And while I am at it, they don't have any nukes, nor are they interested in taking out a nuclear plant.

If they had them or wanted to do that, they would have gone for Moscow by now.

With some luck, fusion will come and tell me otherwise, but fusion....where is that special package anyway? How long does it take to get it to Moscow?

idriss still keeps a list of other local terror centers on their web site. The "al-Taqwa" terror center is a whole research project in itself.

re my post no.720 and your post no.724...I don't disagree with your statement. There is a lot of support for the Muslims in your area.

My point was, and maybe I can state it more clearly, is that, generally speaking, suicidal-homicidal suspects do not care who gets in their way as long as they achieve their goal(s). Again, generally speaking, this point is true with anybody, no matter what their race, religion, gender is.

Reading the jihad boards, reading news reports on various foreign press sites, reading the articles/statements as reported from the "martyrs" (suicidal/homicidal "martyrs") families, friends, and associates backs up the point of the intense focus of the jihadi's goal.

That's probably about as clear as I can state it.

re post no. 732...Yep.

"The Canadians at our border are very picky about who comes into their country, but they send on anyone and everyone into our country."

I really don't know what border in particular you guys were talking about, but when I went into the US from Canada, the customs building was on the US side, the office had an American flag outside, and the border patrol people were Americans.

If people are coming into the US from Canada, YOUR country has to decide who can come in and who get's sent back...

And I must add they did a fine job, keeping me and my brother in the building while they searched his car inside and out, sniffing my pants and such for an hour and a half..

Good point. I was quite surprised to see our military boys patroling the Golden Gate Bridge when I was in SF a few weeks ago. It made me feel safer.

[kinghorse]

It aint magical at all. They have stated that our young soldiers will stop fighting in faraway lands if their families are destroyed at home. Think locations with large military or intelligence communities. Navy port and Camp Pendelton in Socal(location of the first Ca Fire), DC/Langley, NYC/UN World Govt seat.

"I don't think they care half as much about killing us or terrorizing us as they do about hitting us financially."

Don't forget the threats to our children.

If OBL himself is behind a new attack there will be a psychological component to his plans.

[Rutles4Ever]

I wonder if the "east side" is the east side of NYC? or the east coast in general? Since they already said east New York...why say east side after it?

I believe it's referring to the east coast. I don't think they'd use that kind of vernacular (east side, west side). You mean if I cross over to the other side of Broadway, I'm out of danger?

Does not compute.

[Labyrinthos]

One of my commuting buddies and I have sort of a running joke going that if he's not there that means he got out of dodge. It's funny, because we noted that he wasn't there Friday and he wasn't there this morning.

Keep us up to date -- was he there this morning?
