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.

Do any of you remember back in February when we heard about the 3 missing Iraqi ships that possibly held MWD's?? Were they ever found and if not could this one be one of them??

I don't remember it, but if it's true, it should definitely be looked into ASAP.

Well let's look at it this way. They have the means, men, and fortitude to try and hit us in multiple ways.

Let's just hope our forces here are set up in such a way that they are able to to deal with each front before/as it arises.

Let me also note that I have a lot of faith in our forces here at home but sadly I doubt they will be able to stop each and every planed hit (especially if it's multiple hits at one time).

re post no. 1323 --- Yep. That's a photo of the Salah Aldeen, but I thought I read somewhere that it was scrapped. Wonder if that was true...no verification.
