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.

I would guess Centcom is pretty well protected. At least I hope so.

I knew a guy named Debka when I was a kid working summers in the steel mills near Gary,Indiana.

He was always fighting drunk and stank of polish sausage and pirogi.

I never would have dreamed that someday he would be a major player in the journalism game......

It seems as though we are on the edge of something, on the bubble, like something big is about to happen . . . we're due for something major . . . like capturing Saddam or OBL . . . or a very large scale terror attack . . . it's just been too long since anything unusually significant has happened, and all the recent chatter has seemingly died off, yet many European countries have suddenly raised their alert status . . . just feels like something is about to come down . . . I'm not talking about anything supernatural, just my observation of the usual "news" cycle, the ebb and flow of world events . . . the stage is set . . .

Well, between the news (foreign and domestic) and various discussion forums and chat rooms --- it does seem a bit busy lately.

A co-worker of mine mentioned that there were military helicopters flying above Brooklyn/lower Manhattan early this morning. She said she was a bit nervous about coming in to the city.

"I'm not talking about anything supernatural..."

You may not be, but many are. The confluence of material news and spiritual "news" makes me believe that trouble is afoot. I feel a certain sense of relief each morning I wake up and the clock radio is playing music or the top news item is MJ/Kobe/Peterson/weather, etc.

Sorry for the delayed response... back in town and getting caught up again.

I can't post a URL for the letter because it was emailed to me. That's why it creeps me out so much.
