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

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.

hiky = hinky (sorry)

He, he...I thought "hiky" was possibly related to "hinky" and was going to add it to my mental list of regionalisms! Guess I'm getting a bit caught up in this codebreaking stuff!

Mr. hummingbird would say "settle down, Killer...too much caffeine?!"

they have tons of detection equipment here of all kinds, including radiological. it would have to be stored outside the city right now, under a mosque in NJ in a shielded room or something.

>>>>>>Yes, but do we know how "powerful" those detectors are? How far away do we have to be to find a loose nuke?

AND what if it was underground? Like in a tunnel below a mosque?

"Don't know what even Jan. 6th is."

If I'm not mistaken our beloved President Ronald Reagan was born on the 6th of February. But his birthdate may be completely unrelated to today's events. Just wanted to put it out here.

Sorry. Misread your text. You said January 6th, not February 6th.

all the guests, and the CIA, believe he is still in the Pakistan tribal region. he must be below ground, the spy satellite would have to pick up something if he were above ground.

Don't know what even Jan. 6th is.

Isn't it "12th night" - the Orthodox Christmas?

Ya'all see the latest from MEMRI? Third Communique from 'Islamic Bayan Movement' Warns of an Upcoming Terrorist Attack: 'We Are Capable of Destroying an American City' A third communique attributed to the "Islamic Bayan Movement" threatening attacks in the U.S. was published on an Islamist Web site. The communique, titled "Very Urgent - From the Nation of Islam to the American People," was published at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/global-islamic-news/message/77 .

Yep. Saw this earlier. Gulp!

I am starting to get VERY concerned and believe we will see a nuclear attack on a major US city within the next 30 days (prior to the big Islam event on 2/2). Whether it is a suitcase (1-5 KT?) or "big mama" (megaton range) remains to be seen. I believe either is quite possible, especially given the DAMNED OPEN BORDERS and the idiocy of the Administration in addressing the problem. (I know there are many that don't think this can be done, but if we can put a man on the moon, we can close the damned borders tighter than Fort Knox if we wanted to!!).

I take this seriously and am AMAZED that we haven't seen more coverage of this in the media. But, then they're probably more worried about "crowd control" and panicking the sheeples/effect on the ECONOMY than anything else.

The only other possibility (and what I am hoping) is that we've foiled the attack and that the attack WAS part of the recently delayed/cancelled flight situation. I speculated a couple days back here that there were WMD on the planes themselves and AQ wanted mid-air detonation for increased damage/range.

God help us, but I would NOT be surprised to see condition Elmo in the next week or two.

Thanks for the summary.

I'm amazed at the work of all Freepers. What an amazing group of patriots you are!

I'm curious if anyone has seen anything in print in which an American Muslim group or Muslim leader has denounced the threats made by AQ and Islamic extremists against our homeland. If so, would someone please post one?

I can't begin to wrap my mind around the very real, evidently, possibility of us loosing an entire city, for any reason.

Seemed to me, if someone wanted to let loose a nuke, they'd do it somewhere out West, for greater radiation damage. It's just that evil idiot has such a grudge against our NYC. Amazing. I guess it's impossible to think we could evacuate it. They probably wouldn't want to leave, anyway. I dunno. I just pray for the New Yorkers every day, along with the rest of us.
