Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat

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.

This countdown expires at midnight Pacific time the night of February 3rd, 2004. JavaScript source ---> setcountdown(2004,2,4)

Google search of "khayma.com iraqihell End US"

StillProud2BeFree, I neglected to set my clock forward to see what would happen after the countdown expired. The first google search link shows a screen-shot of the countdown page once it has expired. Can you translate the message for us? Thanks!!! LG2

Thanks for the ping / link LG2! Great find!

According to the clock, doom will befall the US on Feb 3. What would be so special about Feb. 3?

Based on current events and what info is available, the 'first wave' of the attack was thwarted. I guessing the 'second wave' will arrive when the clock runs out.

I am prepared and ready for whatever happens. I hope everyone else is. I further hope no one will need said supplies.

It looks like the clock counts down to 4 February 2004 at about 12:01 AM EST.

The problem is that over the past 30 years there haven't been very many months that someone somewhere on the net hasn't marked as TEOTWAWKI, often 2 or 3 dates in a single month. We've had several dates set just in the past couple of months that came and went with no obvious major changes in the world. :)

There's certainly a lot of stuff going on that could turn very serious indeed ... however I'm always suspicious of date-setters since their track record is so very poor. And if this was a date where the original poster had some kind operational knowledge of something planned to happen on that date rather than relying some prophecy for choosing that date ... well then he's exhibiting amazingly bad tradecraft.

However in general terms that rough time frame is of great concern given the mindset of some of the radical Islamists. Does anyone know anything about who posted the original counter?

Hi Liz,
I'm getting that error as well.

Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Yes, same problem here. Time to reboot the server?

[Calpernia]

Yes, it is a take off of Global Security.

And the messages are repeating due to that Internal Error Server message. I saw you are getting it too.

[Try2Discern]

I keep getting that same error message too.

My security system log keeps giving me the following message also: "unused port blocking has blocked communications". Anybody know what that means? When I trace it, I find that whatever it is is coming through RIPE Network in Amsterdam. The RIPE Network is a registry for europe, north africa, and the russian area. Whatever this is, it attempts communications almost constantly, every 3 to 15 seconds. Anyone know anything about these things?

[Calpernia]

Give it a good swift kick ;)

" I also think they'll 'deal' with us, first."

Very good point. In their twisted thinking, it is morally accepted to be duplicitous.

[Calpernia]

I got the same thing from my mtp port. I suspect Amsterdam is a proxy.
