Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat
Debka ^ | 11-3-2003 | Staff

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.

They are alleging all the cancellations are due to British pilots refusing to fly with 'armed' marshalls not terror threats?!

Egyptian Charter Jet Crashes Into Red Sea
18 minutes ago

By MOHAMED KHALIFA, Associated Press Writer

CAIRO, Egypt - A charter airliner with 141 people aboard — mostly French tourists — crashed into the Red Sea shortly after takeoff on Saturday from the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, officials said. No survivors were reported.

The Boeing 737 jet took off shortly before 5 a.m. (10 p.m. EST Friday) and quickly disappeared from radar about seven miles south of the airport, said airport officials using customary anonymity.

No distress signal was detected, according to officials at Egypt's Ministry of Civil Aviation.

The crash occurred amid a week of heightened concerns about terrorist threats from the air that have led to increased security and canceled flights around the world.

But an initial statement from aviation ministry ruled out terrorism, calling the crash an "accident" that may have been caused by a mechanical problem. The ministry said no one was believed to have survived.

Officials said 135 passengers and six crew members were aboard the jet operated by the private Egyptian company Air Flash en route to Cairo — 129 of them French and six Egyptians.

Rescue teams rushed to the scene and found the wreckage of the jet close to the coast. They were attempting to find survivors or bodies, according to an official quoted by the Egyptian news agency MENA.

Engineers from the national carrier Egyptair rushed in to try to help determine what happened. Officials at Air Flash could not immediately be reached for comment.

The weather was clear in Sharm el-Sheikh and other flights were taking off without incident, officials said.

Sharm el-Sheik is a popular Red Sea tourist resort that also frequently hosts major political and economic summits. Egypt has held several meetings on Middle East peace there, including one in which President Bush (news - web sites) met with regional leaders in June over the "road map" plan toward creating a Palestinian state.

Local news media reported Saturday that vacationing British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites) was to meet there later in the day with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak (news - web sites).

Dammit, they make this stuff with our tax dollars, so as far as I'm concerned it's ours to play with. :)

You may want to download the image and host it somewhere else because I can't guarantee that it will be at that URL forever. Enjoy!

Possible Air Terror Plot Details 2 January 2004-- Amid numerous international flights being escorted by F-16's, delayed or outright cancelled, network analysts have been reviewing a number of Internet communications and images that might just contain clues to the "intended targets" of terrorists. Text posted on Internet forums by two separate sources, combined with the images below that appear on a website and accessible through the search terms "Ahlam hu Akbar" on that site found the following combination of images:

It is important to note that the phrase "Ahlam hu Akbar" (Ahlaam hu Akbar) is one that is often used and repeated by Islamic fundamentalists prior to engaging in battle. These images appeared to be posted to this website within the previous 7-10 days; when the search criteria "Ahlam hu Akbar" was used, the three larger images were displayed. An aircraft, the tip of an image that resolves to a larger image of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, and a poorly exposed image of the Staples Arena in Los Angeles were accessed and displayed under that criteria. Based on the recent level of threats involving aircraft as well as threats to Los Angeles and Las Vegas, network analysts have passed this information to the appropriate federal authorities.

I see a nuke in the heart of NYC, "New York Next", Call 19 (you were pinged on the significance of 19 earlier), and Osama flicking something of his index finger(I won't be vulgar).
