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.

I've been popping into this thread off and on, but haven't been following too closely.

What are the "belly of the eagle" references? Is that supposed to be a target location? If the eagle is North America (see any map... Alaska = head, etc.), then the belly would be Texas.

I won't say what Florida appears to represent, just that I hope it drops on Castro. :-)

Sounds realistic enough to me...esp. mentioning the evening prayer.

Any aspiring writer with a half-way decent imagination could come up with this stuff.

True enough... but would they be so persistent?

Look at us on this thread. We are now over 11,000 posts and many of us have contributed posts by the dozens, and in somes cases by the hundreds. If we can be this persistent, then why would we expect anything less from EOM, particularly when he has such a captive audience right here on this thread.

Wait. This is a thread about EOM.

I thought this was the line at the DMV.

There was a joke in Egypt 20+ years ago when I was there that was hilarious but oh so true.

One afternoon the Egyptian housewife was walking by the gomaya, the government run grocery store. The gommaya was the only place where you could get staples like sugar, flour, butter, and tea without paying the exorbitant prices of the black market. The staples came in just whenever - there was no regular schedule, and no announcements. You basically either went every day or you just hoped you got lucky (or you had a network of friends who looked out for one another).

So the woman is walking by and she sees this long long line. She does what anyone would do in the same situation - she stops and gets in line. An hour or so later, there were a couple of hundred people in line behind her.

After a while, the lady behind her taps her on the shoulder and says "what do they have today?" The woman shrugs her shoulders and asks the person ahead of her. The question went all the way to the front of the line. The first person looked around and said "I don't know. I stopped to tie my shoe, but when I finished there was a long line, and they must be getting something good here, so there's no way I'm going to lose my place in line."

OK sorry about that. It's Friday. I don't have to get up at 5:30 am tomorrow and I'm in a good mood.

Back to translating now.

Very good. My grandmother once told me a similar story but the setting was eastern Europe.

I found a book at a discount warehouse a few years ago called Hammer of Eden by Ken Follett. It was about a group of radicals who threatened to cause earthquakes in protest to a nuclear plant. They used some sort of special equipment, like a big jackhammer on flatbed, but surely explosives placed at the right points would do the trick as well.
