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.

Freeperfromnj - we're ready to hear the news on the Yemeni fruit vendor.

Will do. Haven't been to the city for a few days. I'm heading out now and will report back on this thread shortly.

[ContemptofCourt]

OK, so does this drive the nail in the "NEIN" coffin? Their "analysis" can't even reveal this for what it really is?

[freeperfromnj]

It seems he's disappeared into thin air. Doesn't seem like he's coming back.

[Mossad1967]

A SOURCE CLOSE TO AL-QA'IDA SAID THAT 'THE HOLY WARRIORS HAVE COMPLETED THE PREPARATORY STAGE AND STARTED THE COUNTDOWN FOR THE EXECUTION OF AN ATTACK INSIDE THE UNITED STATES.' THE SOURCE CLAIMED THAT THE NEXT ATTACKS WILL CAUSE AMERICA 'TO LOSE CONTROL OF ITSELF AND THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH ITS ARMY.' HE AGAIN URGED MUSLIMS IN AMERICA TO LEAVE IF THEY DID NOT WISH TO DIE. (AL-SHARQ AL-AWSAT, LONDON, 11/26/03)

Cool, you posted 1967. Was that random?

The Next Attack on America: Terrorists Prepare for New Operations Compiled By: Ryan Mauro

Saddam, Iraq & 9/11: A 3-D Illusion?

1 December 2003-- The above photograph reportedly shows members of the US Third Infantry holding a 3-D image of a celebratory, cigar smoking Saddam next to an image of the WTC towers. The image has been recently circulating among several Internet forums and news sites, including at least one Islamic Jihad site. Analysts at the Northeast Intelligence Network are currently in the process of tracing the origin of this photograph and specifically determining the context in which it was displayed on the jihad forum. This photograph and a related story was recently displayed at INTELmessages.org on 26 November 2003.

Top CIA analysts and other government officials have issued repeated denials of any connection between Iraq and the attacks on the US on 9/11, despite the findings at Salman Pak and the statements made by high-ranking Iraqi defectors. Analysts at the Northeast Intelligence Network are currently in the process of conducting independent research into a possible connection between Iraq and 9/11, using the numerous recent references found on jihad websites and forums as the basis for such research. The findings could produce a more realistic threat assessment for future terror attacks in the US and against our troops, and should not be viewed as a matter of mere historical reference.

To assist us in our efforts, we are asking our readers to carefully look at the photograph; if you have any information about where this photograph was taken or know any of the troops in the photograph, please contact us via email. All replies will be kept strictly confidential. Additional research findings will be presented as information is developed and confirmed. mailto:DOUGH1@peoplepc.com

Seems like most FReepers are now so burned out by terrorism scare talk that even solid news isn't reported on the Board. Real stories breaking in last day or so which I haven't seen posted here yet: (1) France raises Terror Alert status from yesterday through Christmas; (2) US warns of attack in next 48 hours at hotels/embassies in two African countries; (3) US cautions interests in Saudi Arabia.

[texasbluebell]

Here's one more target possibility, according to this post on another thread:

(1) France raises Terror Alert status from yesterday through Christmas; (2) US warns of attack in next 48 hours at hotels/embassies in two African countries; (3) US cautions interests in Saudi Arabia.

I caught the end of a Bill Gertz interview with Greta last night - he mentioned something about a threat to the reservoirs

[ladyjane]

So how are things looking in NYC these days? The same?

[freeperfromnj]

Status quo here in NYC. Crowded with lots of shoppers and tourists here for the holidays. I've pretty much given up on the fruit vendor. Doesn't look like he's coming back. It's a big city - maybe he found another corner somewhere.

re post no. 1974...

That one seems to pop up a bit on my cyber travels. Worth watching.
