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.

Again, Russia and China could dictate terms to a wounded USA standing naked without NATO backing.

Looks more like TWA 800. It's a plane blowing up over the water.

Is it possible that these Islamic nuts took it upon themselves to make a predicted event happen? Many of the events in Revelations are supernatural. But how many in the Koran can be interpreted to be executed by them? Just curious if these nuts took it upon themselves to make an event come true and credit it to scripture.

Remember Osama bin Manson and Hamas Skelter?

The Branch Davidians? Heaven's Gate?

Totally possible.

Another attack would set us back tremendously. And I think AQ knows this.

Honestly, I don't think they care .. I think they really want a Holy War

As for the market, I'm not worried .. we can and have recovered from other hits on the market

No. Sabertooth alerted me to this Ramadan situation 2 years ago. He did some serious pontificating on the Black Flags of Islam and the Mahdi appearing surrounded by his adoring throng immediately after the "death blow" was administered.

I am hedging that we may be facing something serious in the next 3 weeks. No shame in hedging.

That's the true question. I wonder if the FBI can track this sort of thing or absenteeism from work etc. etc.

There was also the high school kid that made the comment about the towers not being around in a weeks time, or something similar.

At Brooklyn's New Utrecht High School, the FBI was notified that a Pakistani student in a bilingual class "made a comment to a teacher the week prior about the twin towers," said Karen Finney, spokeswoman for the Board of Education.

Finney would not reveal the nature of the comment, but the Journal-News of Westchester reported yesterday that the student pointed at the tower during a heated political argument and declared, "Look at those two buildings. They won't be here next week."

School officials would not release the name of the student, but said he was still attending classes at New Utrecht. They said they notified New York police and that the matter was turned over to the FBI.

If people wouldn't knee-jerk their money outta the markets in the event of an attack, the economy and markets etc would withstand the event much better.

People have to learn how to stand firm in EVERY sense IMO.

Boy, you have a negative streak a mile wide.

First off, any bombs that went off in LA and New York would pretty much piss of to a point where nothing would be out of reach for us.

We would not call our troops back to help clean up, give me a break, we would set them loose upon the nuts that did it.

The military is useless in these situations at home, a natural disaster would be handled by National Guard troops Emergency management etc,they are trained for it.

2nd of all,, if we were actually weakened, the topper comes off the nuclear bottle and we tell Russia and China to chill out or get one down their chimney.

We have as much power as we want to display, whether we lose 10-100,000 citizens or not.

We are far from helpless, and your tomes of doom are not at all what would happen.

As I recall, by the time the police checked into the story, the boy's (Pakistani) father had left the country.

The Koran wasn't inspired by God. It's a collection of different religions put together my man.
Mohamond started it because they had no religion for his nationality. It started out as a pagan moon God worshipping cult. He said he "Saw a vision" and he thought he was nuts. His 9 year old wife said it was a miracle.
Everyone added to his moon God book from there. They wrote a little if this, a little of that. Presto! Islam was born, and the Koran became their book.
That black box they walk around in mecca? Moon poop. No joke. They say Allah took a holy crap and gave it to Abraham as a gift.
