Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat

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 we foiled Al Qaeda over Christmas and New Years, so much we don't know going on behind the scenes.

Bump and agreed! Love your tag ;)

Two suspects questioned by British investigators said that an aircraft leaving a London airport would be part of this new al-Qaeda operation intended to eclipse the death toll in the September 11 attacks. One of these men is understood to have said that the attack was planned for the Christmas and new year holidays.

I thought to myself when I heard this...How would they do THAT?



Not via plane. (my opinion)

Maybe a well-constructed dirty Bomb would exceed 9/11, if they don't have a real nuke.

I spotted this earlier and don't like the fact that the image of OBL shows him holding up at least two fingers. He did that while watching the 9/11 attacks on TV. After the first plane struck, he held up two fingers; after the second plane, he held up three fingers; etc.

Leaves one wondering if this means there will be two planes striking in NYC. One speculation.

They didn't leave that wire in tact did they?!

re post no. 5696...

Can I have the specific urls that are original source info for these photos?

[Cvengr]

Has anybody created an archive post simply of all the EOM or other Al-Quada attributed source posts?

I've been attempting to glean a listing and read them in appropriate context, but have had a difficult time navigating all 5000+ posts in tracking them.

If nobody else has done so, I'll attempt to collate.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON -- A coalition of journalism organizations and media companies asked the Supreme Court on Friday to let them join an appeal in a secret terror-related case.

The news groups are siding with an immigrant in Florida whose challenge to his detention after the Sept. 11 attacks was handled in secret. Lower courts sealed the filings by Mohamed Kamel Bellahouel and kept private the existence of the case."

Because they are tunnel-rats and cave-dwellers ;)

"AL QAEDA'S D.C. DEATH JET PLOT"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "January 3, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - An al Qaeda terror team has been plotting to hijack Washington-bound British Airways Flight 223 and crash it into the nation's capital, officials said yesterday. The frightening - and specific - intelligence is one factor behind the recent rash of airline cancellations, including Flight 223 again yesterday.

The same flight - which uses a Boeing 747 jumbo jet - was also scrapped on New Year's Day and other D.C.-bound flights this week from London have been delayed and passengers questioned.

The information about Flight 223, from London's Heathrow Airport to Dulles International Airport, came from a foreign source inside al Qaeda, who claimed the terror group wanted to strike during the holiday, sources said.

British Airways said the flights were scrapped "following the latest advice from the UK government" based on "security reasons."

U.S. authorities recently have tightened the air safety net around the country with flight cancellations, airline searches and fighter jet escorts for some planes."
