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.

Oh I believe they know they are being watched. Or they are just damn stupid.

Thanks for all of your research - you are right on the money... also an update today on my site (Northeast Intelligence Network) might be of interet to you and discusses this matter a little deeper.

unless he knows that he is being watched?

The membership number on that site is higher today isn't it? 56 now, I thought it was in the 40's yesterday Prairie

It was in Arab. It's translated.

Actually I was asking why the Yahoo! Groups warning was in English.

[MarMema]

Oh yes I agree that we have plenty of terrorists here. I just don't think they will foul their own nest.

[MarMema]

I was referring to their beliefs about this Ramadan having some special significance and providing them with power to defeat their enemies - when I said magical.

[MarMema]

Destructions of a few major seaports could really cripple us, I agree.

[Mo1]

Oh I believe they know they are being watched. Or they are just damn stupid.

Maybe a little of both?

The reason they won't nuke this area is because we and Portland are their home-away-from-home in the US.

Plenty of water for the terrorist fish.

I remember Mother Angelica on EWTN declaring with frightening certainty that 2003 was going to be a nasty year. This was about a year and a half ago, prior to her massive stroke. She said she could not reveal why or how she knew, but that (to the effect) there will be trememdous suffering -- that the innocent and guilty would suffer -- that Americans would have to get used to having less on the store shelves -- but but BUT -- 2004 would be the end of the trauma -- and by 2005, the world would be such a beautiful place, we would not recognize it -- that there would be tremendous peace and joy in our nation...

Again, she never revealed how she knew, but was utterly certain of it.

If anyone else saw this, please corroborate/correct/dispute.

Typically, I find that when posters, such as you (Yehuda), are devoid of any intelligence and thus have no sensible rebuttal, they resort to personal attacks. Thanks for not disappointing me.
If anyone in the intelligence community had been monitoring the financial markets carefully, we would have gotten an early warning on 9/11. Post-9/11 analysis indicated just that. In case you even care, that is not off-topic and could, in fact, be very useful in analyzing the threat, which was the point of my post.
I made no inference that Jews profited form 9/11. My analysis was based on the hearsay/rumor in post #92 indicating that the Jews did not show up to work on 9/11. I have no idea whether this is a true statement or not. Assuming it were true, my analysis would easily follow. There were numerous articles after 9/11 indicating that OBL and many of his friends profited from 9/11 based on shorts in insurers, reinsurers, and airlines. I have no idea whether any Jews profited based on their knowledge of the short interest in such securities; only that the rumor says they avoided their offices.

No, in post 92 Calpernia said

Remember that rumor that circulated for a while about thousands of Jews not going into work that day of 9/11?…Were any stats taken on how many Muslims didn't go into work that day?

I don’t think Calpernia was suggesting Jews didn’t go to work 9/11.

That’s a debunked rumor rampant on white supremecist, jihadist, and assorted left wing American and Jew hating sites.

You, however, advanced that position, stating

Actually this makes sense when you consider that a large number of Jews work in the financial markets. If you saw the short interest in insurers, reinsurers, and airline stocks increase significantly, you'd probably have gotten out of town prior to 911 as well. I wonder what happened to the short interest in those groups of stocks today?

gravedancing on those who died that day. Your rather lame excuse that you didn’t accuse them of making money, just saving their own skins, while allowing other Americans to die doesn’t cut it.

So I’ll ask again, do you have any evidence to back up that theory? Do you know of Jews who stayed home?

Have you contacted authorities?

You’ll note this thread deals with potential attacks on New York, LA, and DC. Jews live in those places, and many work in the financial industry. If they, perchance, have info on upcoming attacks, we need to know.

Personally, for whatever reason, I think you’re just spouting so much slanderous *ull *hit.

North side it is. I'll be in NYC twice next week, and I'll look for the guy.

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.

They REALLY don't understand us at all, do they?

Hey Huggy, nice to hear from you. Can't recall if we've run into each other on these threads before or not.

You're doing great work on your site, thanks.

I've archived the first 20 messages on the problematic Daleel Al Mojahid (Yahoo Group) site on this thread.

Did they make a direct threat to the US about 9-11?

While they did not directly mention the date, they certainly made it public what type of attack and where...from my previous post...

Then there were the predictions by an Iraqi with ties to Iraqi intelligence, Naeem Abd Mulhalhal, in Qusay's own newspaper several weeks before the attacks that stated bin Laden would “demolish the Pentagon after he destroys the White House and ”bin Laden would strike America “on the arm that is already hurting.” (referencing a second IRAQI sponsored attack on the World Trade Center). Another reference to New York was “[bin Laden] will curse the memory of Frank Sinatra everytime he hears his songs.” (e.g., “New York, New York”) which identified New York, New York as a target. Mulhalhal also stated, “The wings of a dove and the bullet are all but one and the same in the heart of a believer." which references an airplane attack.

There was even a prediction in Newsweek that it would be "soon", for goodness sake...why didn't our intelligence pick up on that?

Or just arrogant.

Pride before the fall and all that...

You persist in thinking that they are rational, by your standards of rationality.

[rintense]

Unfortunately, no one took it seriously. Well, that was until the Bush admin and their plan to deal with OBL. Too bad it didn't hit Bush's desk sooner than 9-10-01.

[Mo1]

That too

[swarthyguy]

Thanks, Cindy.

And a dancing on the House of Ramadan bump to you, tubavil.

Could that be the WH inlight of the recent iftaar dinner there?
