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.

It seems that there has been quite a bit of this going on. Stealing official vehicles, passes, uniforms, keys, etc. There must be quite a bit of money changing hands.

They were joking about it on local radio, not the threats but the government and their silliness. So when they have to go red, I guess they figured a 3 wk break will save some $$$

[JustPiper]

Well, we are always weeks ahead of them, so hopefully they will catch up in time to realise they only get a 3 week reprieve. Scarey the holy hell going from yellow to red

[JustPiper]

this Y2K-fear-like thread.....

[JustPiper]

Of course I agree but shhhhhhh my friend, we are being called fear-mongers

[JustPiper]

Sean...how do you feel about going yellow? Don't yellow and orange make red?

[JustPiper]

I say that all these colors are Oscar ;)

[JustPiper]

I never promised you a nuke garden

[JustPiper]

the gov't doesn't take that info seriously

What they don't take serious are the color coded levels, most of what is said here is claimed by them 2 weeks to a month later

[JustPiper]

Great AlQ is in the "operational" phase and your town idiot is in the preparing when occurs phase?!

[texasbluebell]

So, is it unusual for someone to make a move on silver futures, or is this indicative of something more sinister such as a terror group hoping to make a profit along with an attack? Did that happen prior to 9-11?

I remember after 911, it was revealed that someone/or several someones made a fortune shorting airline stocks. It was never revealed publicly just who did that, not that I ever heard, though I have a feeling it was probably discovered by those who looked into it.

A few days ago it was said not 'all' cities will go yellow...I wonder besides NYC, what cities and will this be reiterated or now hushed?

[freeperfromnj]

"The U.S. will keep the aviation industry, nuclear facilities and ports on high alert, as well as several cities such as New York, Washington and Los Angeles"

[ContemptofCourt]

It has not been "hushed", as there is an article about the cities that are still on orange.

This thread was informative two months ago, but has turned into a Y2K thread, as everyone is finding boogiemen under every rock....and this is based on what? The rantings of some internet lunatic.

[maggief]

"Not sure what you're referring to, but the major premise of this thread was "validated" when the nation went on Orange alert and continues to be validated by the continuing focus on NY, DC & LA. Now, as to whether the particular freaks like "Daleel" and "EOM" are for real, that's been hotly debated and will continue to be so - either way, we're simply investigating a real phenomenon (someone out there in the ether is making these threatening posts)- but that doesn't mean we (as FReepers in general) endorse any one view. All we're trying to do is get a little more info than the old media and the government seem willing to give out. I don't see how that makes us look stupid, no matter what happens next."

Good post ... I agree.

[jerseygirl]

"as well as several cities such as New York, Washington and Los Angeles"...pray tell, what are the other cities of concern?

[freeperfromnj]

Probably Vegas and the port cities
