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.

>>>Would have thought there'd be something going on for Ramadan.

End of Ramadan celebration is done at a facility outside the traditional mosque. By me, they rent space at a Ukrainian Catholic Church. From my understanding, this is typical among the other mosques.

Thank you for the update! Now time to eat!

Most of the threats that have been made are through web chatter, newsgroups, Islamic websites that have only gone up recently, etc.

If we are hit again, it will only be by a freelance Mujahedeen. We won't get an organized hit.

I draw this conclusion because of the increased chatter on the web. First Ranked never used the web to organize. They had/have meetings once a week at their home. And they rotated the meetings every week to a different home.

The web chatter increasing is a sign that their communications and leadership have been disrupted.

Web chatter is to instill fear and maybe recruit freelancers.

Freelancers are sloppy and easy to track.

Bump!

I agree more and more

Mother bird to baby bird, fly safe!

My 12-yo will be flying soon.. I flew at 6.. I'd never let a baby fly before 21!!!

Ya gotta let 'em fly.... Happy Thanksgiving!

[RepublicanArmy]

Look you could be right but then again none of us have any idea what the feds are hearing. We don't know if this is all to just instill fear or to recruit and give actual warnings.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need to keep an eye on things and see what happens. If nothing does happen then it's either because our forces were able to stop it or it was a bunch of BS.

Now if anyone here thinks that al-qaeda is not trying to get something together to hit us then I for one think your living in a dream world.

Also one other thing to think about. It's been a little over 2 years since we have been hit here at home. Go back and do some research on how much time there was between the other times al-qaeda hit us.

We are about at the right time for another one so I shall air on the side of caution and reality of the other timelines of attack.

[Calpernia]

Oh no no no. I was not implying to stop being vigilant. I know as well as we all do that they want us dead.

I am just pointing out a difference in their communications. I do know about some of the First Rank's Ops methods.

Also, Al Qaeda got the good hit on us from 'someone' (Russia? China? France? Potpourri?) wagging their tail (weapons, organization, intel). We hit that hard and it did affect them functioning like the borg they once were.

They are pretty much scattered leadership wise now. But we do have First Ranked still here. But they have frozen assets and intel disruptions.

[Empireoftheatom48]

Don't worry GWB has these guys on the run. They would have tried somthing much sooner to avenge the the crap GWB has been beating out of them!! Stay safe and don't fall for their s$it!!

[Calpernia]

Stay Safe and Vigilant. But not frozen. Enjoy Thanksgiving! Living in a rabbit hole is a win for them.

[freeperfromnj]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Did your fruitman resurface?
