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.
The final blows in the crucial battles at hand. If God wills it the the end of Amerikkka is near.

I assume that if a flight has air marshalls, it will have only one. What if you had a lone "nut" freak out and attack the air marshall to distract him, while the accomplices used the diversion to "neutralize" the air marshall while he was distracted? If the air marshall is busy trying to control the unruly passenger, it might be easy to get the drop on him.
Just a thought...thanks for the bandwith.
Sounds ominous, Sean....and cryptic.
Well, between the bits and pieces I've read on this thread, and the cancellations/searches/F-16 escorts this past week...yes, it is.
Although calendars are printed for planning purposes, they are based on estimates of the visibility of the lunar crescent, and the Islamic month may actually start 1-2 days earlier or later than predicted. source
Here is another site
Eid-al-Adha: The moon's conjunction is on Wednesday, January 21, 2004, at 21:05 Universal Time, i.e. 4:05 pm Eastern Standard Time - 1:05 pm Pacific Standard Time. On January 21, the moon is going to be 4 hours old and cannot be seen anywhere in the world. On January 22, it will be seen in most of the world excluding Asia and Europe, as shown by the visibility curves. Therefore, first day of Zul-Hijja is going to be on January 23 in most of the world, and accordingly, 10th Zul-Hijja is going to be on Sunday, Februay 1, 2004, insha'Allah, while 10th of Zul-Hijja in most of Asia and Europe is going to be on February 2, 2004.
If having the moon be in a certain configuration is a prerequisite before taking action, then it would make sense for them to launch the attack a day or two after the estimated date just to be sure.
I hope this helps a little.
