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.

See, that is why your the 'thinkin' gal" -smiles- your idea is a good one. I hated 2-1 in 88' and 2-1 & 2-2 will always be hateful days for me , as will the Superbowl of that year, I would not doubt it could be a metaphor but also don't doubt that showing the picture of a stadium may very well be the Super Bowl, it all fits.

Bump and glad you found the germ bomb article, because today , in this thread, was the first I'd heard of 'germ bombs' and did some snooping!

And then the cruise ships, the QMII especially, isn't her maiden voyage 2-1-04?

Was that a picture of QMII, the comparison?

QM2 is 147 feet longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall (984 ft)
QM2 is more than 3 ½ times as long as Big Ben is high (310 ft)
QM2 is only 117 feet shorter than the Empire State Building is tall (1248 ft.)

AFTENPOSTEN.no: "Arabs recruited from Norway to fight in Iraq" (Updated December 18, 2003)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Italian police suspect that Norway is being used as a recruiting ground for terrorists and insurgents seeking Arab fighters against the USA in Iraq. They believe that al-Qaida and mullah Krekar's group Ansar al-Islam are behind the activities.


The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Italian investigators link al-Qaida and Ansar al-Islam to a network of recruits to Iraq to fight the USA. Besides Norway, Germany and Spain were listed as countries where these groups were active.


Mullah Krekar was interviewed by Italian investigators in Norway on Monday in Oslo courthouse."

Belly of the beast being "America"
Does that mean Belly of the eagle is "A Cruiseship?"

In one report from 1947, military strategists wrote that "botulism toxin dropped into reservoirs and the infection of natural fauna of such areas, eg rats, dogs and cats, with bubonic plague, rabies etc, are all suitable methods of attack".

The date of this article and this paragraph are chilling. Our government is 'so' certain we will be attacked by chem/bio, its as if they 'know' we will. Many said here when we had the string of 'viri' on many of the Cruise ships back in 2001-2002?, that it was a 'test run' for using ships to disperse bio/chem and now you find all this info on germ bombs and its being bandied around as the new catch phrase today.

re post no. 4177...

OPINION: I'm sure they have their security buttoned down -- as much as possible. Also, the media spotlight on NY and LV kind of prods the locals to report anything that looks suspicious.

Do you know how far Houston's oil refineries and chemical plants are from Reliant Stadium?

Good question!

Also: Does anyone know French? What does this mean: the off-shore islands of {{{Ile d'Yeu and Belle-Ile. }}} Belle is female? but Belle-Ile reminded me so much of 'belly'
