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.
I believe that's JohnathanRGalt.
That ain't hardly funny. That's more like the high sign...
Most of the 19 hijackers were fairly conspicuous on the lead up to 9/11 but given the head-up-the-butt mindset of the FBI warnings would have been ignored.
Remember actor James Woods who probably witnessed a dry run on the Boston to LA flight 1 week before and contacted the FBI when he landed only to be blown off.
Did you join and take a look at any of the files he's got there?
Isamic mythology has it that eclipses during Ramadan are very significant and a rare double-eclipse even more so.
I'm taking this all very, very seriously. We can poke fun at Debka and dare the towel heads to come to our hometown where we will "blow them away," but the reality of the situation is that AQ will strike again here in the US, despite the best efforts of LEO, Homeland security, FBI, CIA, NSA, ATF, etc. AQ and its agents and supporters want us dead in a big way. Based upon the AQ videos/audios that were recently released, web-site postings, and the significance of the two eclipeses that occur during the current Ramadan, I would not be surprised if a major attack is imminent. And I still think last summer's blackout was a smoke screen of some sort, either a test run of something bigger to come or a diversion to give operatives the oppurtunity to enter the country. Perhaps the attack will be twarted and we will never learn about it. Or perhaps it will be small and seem insignificant compared to 09.11. And maybe it will be the big one -- a dirty bomb and/or bio/chem attack or a series of conventional explosions that go off simultaneously in crowded places in major cities around the country. I note that an earlier post linked to Yahoo that was pulled in a matter of minutes referred to the east side of Manhattan, which would include Grand Central Station, the Citicorp Tower, and the UN. I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but I do think we need to keep our guard up.
Sabertooth had pulled together an entire slate of data in that regard.
'Tooth, if you'd do the honors...
Could be he just took off for Ramadan. It is strange though. He's even there in the dead of winter. Then again, I'm one of those who generally keeps the tinfoil hat handy where the jihadists are concerned.
