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.
For anyone out there that is not prepared I went one full day without using electricity, gas & water. If you do that you will know what you will need and how much. Be sure your gas tank is never below 3/4 of a tank and have cash on hand. Water is the most important commodity for drinking and hygiene. Dry food and snacks are good to keep for a long time. Keep some things in the car as well like some of that water, food and clothing.
Don't forget the pets they need food and water too. Baby Wipes are a must have. Flashlights, radio both in the house and the car. Games or something for you and the kids to do. Something to cook with, iron skillet, BBQ and charcoal or those sterno cans, don't forget matches or you'll be like Tom Hanks on the beach rubbing wood together!! Nothing worse than cold food!!
The community where I live has a yearly emergency drill, we know who can help with medical emergencies etc. We know who will need help and who is assigned to help that person. Keep a list of meeting places for different scenarios or a person everyone can contact in a different location. We're having a 3 day seminar called CERT by the DHS for communities and individuals to learn first aid, fire suppression, light search & rescue. It's not until March though, I hope it's not too late.
I learned my lesson the hard way in my first earthquake with small children, no water, no formula etc etc. Don't let that happen to you.
You conspiracy theory naysayer, you. I'm kidding! :)
