Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles

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.

Make no mistake- you are the race baiters in this situation and the truth is, that no amount of clarification on my part will ever make any difference to those who are as practiced at race baiting and personal attack as you have proven yourselves to be. Let this thread be a testament to that. ;o)

I have spoken at length with my NYC friends about this, so was well aware of the monitoring. (BTW, I've sent them the link to this thread so they can see what you've done). I just wondered why the "monitoring" wasn't successful in predicting 9/11 and why those in the biz (however many there were, whoever they were) were silent about what they saw in the market sessions leading up to 9/11. It really is interesting psychology to examine the moral dilemma that one must face in such a situation. (I actually face similar ones in my line of work.)

In summary I must say that it never fails to amaze me how those who are guilty or apologists for the guilty are always the most defensive.

I have indicated my motives and you have unilaterally decided what my motives were. I have no idea what your motives are and really don't care. That is for God to sort out. I've said everything else I wanted to say on the issue in post #898, so you can have the last word. Take care and God bless!

Oh please.

If you or your data points, aka friends, have proof that the Jews stayed home on 9/11, time for you (or them) to put up or shut up.

Otherwise, *iss off.

Like other posters, I knew more than 3 Jewish data points in the vicinity that day. Some pretty sophisticated ones too, and they didn't get the message.

Interesting comment, guilty, or apologists for the guilty. Interesting comment. Guilty, of what? Am I assume you're a jihadist of the Jews did pulled off 9/11 as well?

American Muslims Told to Leave Major U.S. Cities

Tuesday, November 04, 2003

An Al Qaeda (search) Web site is running a warning issued to Muslims to leave Washington D.C., New York City and Los Angeles because of implied imminent terrorist attacks, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Titled "A Warning to Muslims in America," the directive was issued by the previously unknown "Islamic Bayan Movement" and first ran on the Global Islamic Media Web site on Monday, according to MEMRI, which translated the communiqué.

It has since been published on the Al Qaeda-run site Al Faroq (search), a MEMRI release said. The Global Islamic Media site has published several messages from Jihad groups around the world in recent months.

As of Tuesday, there had been no increase in the Pentagon's yellow terror alert status. Yellow represents an "elevated" status on the five-point chart.

"Our Muslim brothers in America, we ask you to immediately leave the following cities: Washington, D.C., New York, and Los Angeles," reads the communiqué, which frequently quotes the Quran.

"We are serious in our warning," the message states. "The next few days will prove to you the truth of this warning … To the oppressive rulers of America we say: Expect our terms following the first strike of Allah's believing soldiers [Quran, Chapter 59, Verse 2-3]."

The directive claims that U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan "are the only ones who know the bitter truth" about the situation overseas.

"How would they not when they see every day dozens of casualties from among their friends, the soldiers who die and nobody, even not their stupid rulers, is sorry for them," the communiqué states. "Then they hear the lies and distortion their rulers [tell] their people and the peoples of the world regarding the number of their dead …"

The communiqué refers to the "sufferings" of Muslims, saying they are victims of oppression, imprisonment and murder.

It ends with another verse from the Quran [Chapter 9, Verse 14]: "Fight them: Allah will punish them at your hands, and will humiliate them, and will help you to overcome them, and will relieve the minds of the believers."

In conjunction with the memo, Al Qaeda's Al Faroq posted a photo of the Chinook helicopter shot down on Sunday with a caption in Arabic that reads: "We shall bring down and destroy the values of the Hubal of this generation." Fifteen Americans died in the helicopter attack.

Hubal was a pre-Islamic-era Meccan idol used by Muslims to symbolize the U.S., according to MEMRI.
