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.

I am sure the warnings are mostly in Arabic, and few get translated into English.

Being fluent in Arabic would be very helpful. But as I understand even the intel agencies are short of Arabic speaking translators.

There are many Jews who speak and read arabic. As I understand the Federal Divertocrity is against hiring them.

Thanks for the link.

I wonder, did anyone actually try to correlate the AQ & other Islamic terror attacks for the past 10 years with the phases of the moon, i.e. check what the phases of the moon were when the major attacks took place.

PC won't save the American Muslums if they try another 9/11 in three different cities. The national outrage would accept major military power being used overseas without a problem, too.

Call me a skeptic, but the next 9/11 style attack will not change our policy towards the Arab world or American Muslims for that matter (not that I believe it shouldn't).

Interesting article -- implied that Al Qaeda may attack Mecca?!

2 al-Qaida Suspects Die in Mecca Shootout

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP)--Police clashed with suspected al-Qaida sympathizers in the streets of the sacred city of Mecca on Monday, killing two militants and uncovering a cache of weapons, including Kalashnikov rifles, grenades and bomb-making materials.

A cache of weapons, including Kalashnikov rifles, grenades and bomb-making materials, as well as passports, identity cards and pamphlets were found in militants' hide-outs, the security official said. Some of the fliers bore pictures of Saudi-born bin Laden, al-Qaida's chief.

As a result, the security official in Mecca said, Saudi police will increase security in Mecca, particularly during the last 10 days of the fasting month of Ramadan, which would fall in late November.

During Ramada, some 2 million Muslims are expected to perform the ``omra,'' or minor pilgrimage, to the city, birthplace of Islam's 7th-century prophet, Muhammad. Mecca is off-limits to non-Muslims.

``The fact that this came about during Ramadan and that the militants were planning to target Mecca is a strong indication of the dangerous beliefs those people carry and the extent to which they have been duped,'' said the ministry official.

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

Do you claim to have expert knowledge on this?

So is this from an Islamist terror-type website? What's the original source since properties list SteveQuayle.com?

Maybe not, but there would be shame in shorting the US then trying to actually spread fear.

Now, the Yahoo Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Daleel_Al-Mojahid_ has uploaded files in it about bomb making. Problem is, they are all in Arabic.

I don't even have Arabic characters on my computer.

Who can translate these docs?

Don't know. It does look like more bad news in the islam/muslim/saudi/AQ/mecca category though.

They really, really need to go. No more waiting for 9/11 II.
