Al-Qaeda planning US 'death blow'

OSAMA bin Laden's al-Qaeda terror network is planning a "death blow" against Americans during the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, a Saudi magazine reports in its issue due out today.

"Al-Qaeda is going to carry out a death blow against Americans during the month of Ramadan," Al-Majallah said, quoting an e-mail sent by Abu Mohammed al-Ablaj, identified as a senior member of al-Qaeda.

Ablaj, who regularly communicates with the London-based weekly via e-mail, did not specify if the threatened strike will be carried out in the United States or against American interests abroad.

"Muslims have the right to draw the blood of Americans, civilian or military, everywhere in the world," Ablaj said.

He did not dismiss the possibility of a "painful" strike in Iraq, which is currently under a US-led occupation following the overthrow of dictator Saddam Hussein.

"Bin Laden has ordered his supporters to carry out a guerrilla war against Arab and Muslim countries where there is an American military and commercial presence," Ablaj said.

"The guerrilla war decided by bin Laden and his assistants won't be limited to martyr (suicide) operations mentioned in his last two messages. This (war) will be carried out by other means and (using) different types of weapons," he added.

In a message purported to be from bin Laden and aired on October 18 by Qatar's Al-Jazeera television station, the terror chief threatened to send suicide bombers to the United States and attack any forces joining the US-led coalition in Iraq.

Are they finally going to end our misery are they? *cough*

Note to any Muslims reading this... any strike above and beyond 9/11 will be met with the total destruction of Islam.

Damn sissies would have done it already if they could.
They're spent.

Isn't that what Monica promised Bill?

I seriously doubt that we have the intestinal fortitude to turn the Middle East into a glass parking lot.

"Muslims have the right to draw the blood of Americans, civilian or military, everywhere in the world," Ablaj said.

And Americans have the right to bury your mortal remains bound in a pig carcass, you goat-humping turd-world yahoo.

Sorry, but I can't help but be reminded of the movie that Jerry had to videotape for Kramer's friend.

"Death Blow: When someone tries to blow you up, not because of who you are, but for different reasons altogether."

Al-Qaeda is going to carry out a death blow...

Isn't this some kind of professional wrestling move?

[My Favorite Headache]

You wish...the middle east will never be blown to pieces like you think it should. 9-11 should have been the time when we took it to Syria and Saudi Arabia. No questions asked.

The only time this country will ever do anything on a drastic scale would be if the death toll was in the hundreds of thousands. 9-11 was not a big enough body count.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!

No, she promised it would be mind-blowing, not a death blow.

"I'm scared... "

I presume you are being sarcastic.

Obviously the point is not to be scared, but to be aware.

It is a miracle that they haven't been able to attack us in the past two years, but obviously they are still trying.

I'm sure it wouldn't break the heart of Saudi Arabia's ruling class. Most of them anyway.
