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

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.

BREAKING FNC....

Plane (United or American) stopped I think in Texas, bomb squad has pulled it into a hangar, trying to find out more...anyone?

[tubavil]

FYI, "b2" document (issue # 2) now available via GIM.

[tubavil]

During the one-hour ordeal the woman yelled out for the plane to stop, took her top and bra off and defecated in her pants.

Obviously a (Mujaha)Dean supporter.

American Airlines at DFW that is all I have heard.

Probably just coincidental, but PATTT is the airspace ID for Ohio.

I pinged some of you, but want to post the link to this article. It's from the UK Herald and it's based on some of the info that has been discussed on this thread. Obviously the US intel services are taking it seriously:


Terrorist threats to destroy US city posted on internet
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1058285/posts

US and British intelligence services are investigating a series of alleged al Qaeda internet warnings predicting a terror attack which would "destroy an entire American city".

The messages, posted on a number of Islamic websites over the last week, say the countdown to attack has already begun.

They claimed it would be "an even stronger strike than nuclear weapons".

No other cable news has nada and I expected more at the 1/2 hour...will look again top of the hour...how can these stories be continously blacked out

[JustPiper]

Going to NC and removed the plane from runway and took to a private hangar by bomb squad, plane 'was' diverted

Another article to keep for the record here:


Oil and Gas: Terror's Next Target?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1058280/posts

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Attacks on the West's oil and gas infrastructure -- from production facilities to pipelines and tankers -- are likely to be the next "mega" target of terrorists, and could wreak havoc with the world's economy, according to an in-depth analysis of the susceptibility of the energy industry featured in the latest Journal of International Security Affairs (Winter 2004).

Terrorist groups with global reach -- in particular, al Qaeda -- have identified the world's energy system as "a certain way to deliver a blow to America's oil dependent economy, as well as to the global economy at large," writes Gal Luft, executive director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security. He notes that such attacks have already become frequent, though little reported, against oil targets in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, and that Saudi Arabia's oil system, upon which much of the West depends, remains "target rich and extremely vulnerable."

Tanker load shift probed in crash
By Tarron Lively
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

BALTIMORE — Gasoline inside a tanker might have sloshed to one side and caused the driver to lose control before the vehicle plunged from an overpass onto Interstate 95 Tuesday and exploded into flames, killing four persons, authorities said yesterday.

"There was evidence of a load shift in the tanker," said Krah Plunkert, supervisor of the crash unit of the Maryland State Police. "Any hard turn or shift in direction, like swerving to avoid a deer or another vehicle, could cause the load to move, which makes extremely difficult."

What do folks think about this website and article (linked on another thread on FR):

http://www.emergency.com/ennday.htm

The article in question is about the War College and how they think Bush is out to lunch on terrorism and that the military is "near the breaking point". I did note that the prominant person mentioned was a Democrat (I know, I know, it means nothing...).

I'm afraid you're right, for many of us, granny...
