Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat
Debka ^ | 11-3-2003 | Staff

Monday, November 3, 2003

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.

EOM is a terrorist.

He may not be a muslim, but he creates terror with his constant threats.

As I recall, I can keep a vial of Bio active, by transporting it in my bra. Some of it will need a beer cooler/chest.

Could that be why so many little old ladies get checked at the airport?

Chemistry is not one of the things that I have studied, had lots of trouble remembering what I needed to know in mining.

StillProud2BeFree, Have you seen this pic yet?

I thought there would be no hope in reading all of the text until I stumbled upon what appears to be the original, full-sized jpeg. You can download a copy of it with the link below. Warning the large-format picture is over one megabyte in size, you'll have to scroll around to see the entire image.

yes! thank you. ignore EOM and he'll go away. i seriously doubt him as well, and have stopped reading that board. they say he knows the signs that lead to an attack, but anyone that is internet savvy can find the information he claims to know from other jihadi's. no more reposting of EOM trash would do well for this board.

I've seen it but the text was too small and when I enlarged it was too grainy. I was going to look for a larger image when I got the chance. I'll take a look at it now. Be right back in a few with a translation.

Thanks for finding it!

While I'm not interested in hearing about EOM, I am very interested in hearing which cities are still on elevated alert. Probably not Provo Utah, but I don't know. Is Boston? Baltimore? Atlanta?

One way you may be able to find out, go to the state/loc gov homepages for the towns that post the alers.

Example, NYC is still orange: New York City: High (Orange) - National: High
(Orange) (learn more at DHS). TERROR ALERT LEVEL

I would assume other locales have to post their alerts too.

Shortwave radio can have some strange stuff.

On MSNBC, Summer 2001, they had a documentary on how US weapons are moved on the country's highways. Some caches were stored at commercial storage sites. Some of them in rather ramshackle storage places run with minimum security.

The correspondents got in to look at the stuff; at one storage site, the operator said that the govt seemed to have forgotten about the weapons stored there since they'd been there for a long time. He was hoping the media exposure would get the Pentagon to come and pick them up.

Needless to say, the documentary hasn't been repeated, but it was mind blowing.

"University of Idaho graduate student pleads innocent to charge of supporting terrorism"
Savannah News ^ | 01/12/04 | Rebecca Boone (A.P.)


Posted on 01/12/2004 3:19:15 PM PST by Holly_P


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BOISE, Idaho — The University of Idaho graduate student held for nearly a year on visa fraud charges pleaded innocent on Monday to the additional charge of supporting terrorism.

Sami Omar Al-Hussayen appeared only briefly before U.S. Magistrate Mikel Williams. Williams postponed Al-Hussayen's trial date from Jan. 20 to Feb. 17 and said both sides could put motions before U.S. Judge Edward Lodge — who will preside over the trial — if they wanted the date postponed longer."

Oh, come on, you know those terror alerts, cancelled flights were just window dressing to scare us.

Of course, by the laws of stats, at least some of those "fake" threats must have been true.

Hats off to the security boys for stopping/nabbing some of the scum.

Thankyou so much for all of your translations. There are to many replys to me for me to answer them all. I seem to have gotten sick so this is the first I have been able to respond.

It looks like this EOM is nothing but a fraud. I will still be a bit worried until the 21st of FEB. but I am not putting much worth on the words of EOM.

I thought that even though the alert level is being lowered there were eight unnamed cities (in addition to DC, LA and NYC)that were under scrutiny. I haven't been able to find any list or partial list of those cities.

"UH receives boost
in security"

"New locks and alarm systems
will be added to campus buildings
following break-ins"

By Rosemarie Bernardo
rbernardo@starbulletin.com

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Better locks and new alarm systems will be installed at the Marine Sciences Building after a rash of break-ins during the holiday season.

"I'm pleased with the response we got from the administration," said Edward Laws, chairman of the Oceanography Department, who recently met with Vice Chancellor Rodney Sakaguchi to go over effective security measures for the building.

Laws and several other faculty members at the Marine Sciences Building had complained to the UH administration about the number of break-ins at the building as well as other buildings at the Manoa campus. Technical equipment, laptops and personal items such as checkbooks and credit cards were stolen."

ARTICLE SNIPPET No.2: "Thefts have also occurred at the Biomedical Sciences Building and Bilger Hall. Mortise locks have been installed at the Biomedical Sciences Building. Sakaguchi said there is also a tentative plan to add security measures at some of the stairwells at Bilger Hall."

Was it you that asked about Charlotte N.C.?
I would like to know too. Do you think it's possible to just call a city official and they would be able to tell you?

EOM will not post for four days from now. I will be traveling to Amerikkka. Yes is true, my second trip only this time will be going to Houston Texus. I go Mexico first. Am to leave in the afternoon.

You better get going... wouldn't want you to be late on your first day at 7-11.

You get what you wish soon. You will see.

Yeah? I wish a large nachos and a lemon-lime Slurpee.

"As for black market? General opinion is yes, if weapons were sold, it was not done through government ok, only black market for money."

Wasn't there an incident involving "rogue" Russian army or KGB officers targeting a wealthy and powerful Russian civilian (who happened to be on the outs with Putin) in Great Britain last fall? Was this fellow a newspaper publisher?

What are the odds the Russian Black market would be used as an operational method by the past or current Russian government to maneuver certain items? It's obvious that it would be used by rogue elements for profit but wouldn't our own CIA dig deep into the gutter if it was deemed necessary?
