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

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.

Count me in with those of you who have a weird feeling about the near future.

daleel said there would be silence before an attack

The silence is deafening.

Semper Paratus, indeed.

Ruh-roh! Whadda y'all make of this little development?

[mhking]

just checked again - that daleel group at yahoo is really really gone - weird.

I've got a bad feeling about this....

[Semper911]

Semper Paratus, indeed.

Roger that. I hope there is more than just the Coast Guard that is semper paratus.

I say Defcon has changed, even if HS hasn't.

[Skywarner]

Major bump!

Very uneasy feeling these past several days. I hope it's just the weather.

I have very little faith in those roadside sensors, because believe me, there are no cops on the 59th street bridge who could stop the truck if one of the sensors goes off. I have more faith in the satellite tracking.

Actually, the sensors seem to be working. There have been a number of reports in the medical literature of patients that had nuclear medicine procedures, which cause them to give off small amounts of radiation for a short time, causing the alarms to go off in subways, public buildings etc.

I say Defcon has changed, even if HS hasn't.

I'm inclined to agree.

Nice of the medical literature to 'tip off' our unfriendlies. That info can be used to run fake out the censors.

That terror alert was posted this afternoon. I was on that thread.

Thanks for the post...I was just looking for it and could not find it.

From that article: "The last time it was at orange was in May, after deadly suicide bombings in Morocco and Saudi Arabia." Current events exceed these criteria.

Maybe Tom Ridge is on vacation.

From the Department of Homeland Security Website: "This reporting, combined with recent terrorist attacks, has created an atmosphere of concern in which increased vigilance here at home is prudent and may be key to deterring or disrupting terrorist attacks."

Considering we've been (NY...I'm in what is known as a 'bedroom community') at Orange since 9/11...I honestly can't figure out what constitutes the color system. I don't see extra police presence, we still have private planes flying over, I haven't seen military fly over since 2001, and the so called sleeper cells here are still here.

So I am disenchanted with the color alert system.
