Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat
Debka ^ | 11-3-2003 | Staff

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.

Are you talking about NYC?

If so, 5th and Brodway intersects with East 23rd St. The Madison Square Garden is at this intersection of 5th, Broadway and E. 23rd St.

I may be wrong on the location of the Madison Square Garden. I'm looking at an old map and it shows Madison Square (not Madison Square Garden) at the intersection of 5th Ave, Broadway and E. 23rd St.

This same map also shows Madison Square Garden at 31st St and Seventh Ave at Penn Station. To the west, on Eighth is the General Post Office.

So, disregard location of MSG in prior post.

Sorry about that. Got confused between Madison Square and Madison Square Garden, which is home of the Knicks and the Rangers.

Do you remember our discussion about the pilot of the Egypt charter jet that crashed into the Red Sea? We discovered that he was a Freemason and that that lodge had a LOT of muslim members. On a Yahoo muslim group site that Cindy provided I found a long story on Freemasons and the following:

"The world is witnessing the reawakening of an old warrior. Now the Free Masons have another enemy to contend with an enemy which they have thought that they have destroyed. An enemy that will never bow down to the evil and demonic plan of the Free Masons. That enemy is Islam and against it they have declared war."

"eight-story high mast from Charleston Harbor undetected? The FBI ..."

Oh my, that is a huge sail boat! Only one mast? Just waking up here. I wonder if it is off to meet with OBL's frigates. It might be a diversion tactic when it does show up as all eyes would be drawn to it (while a tug slips by perhaps.)

I think there are tunnels there, there are also tunnels everywhere along the border that the illegals use. However, with the corruption in Mexico if you have enough pesos you can get across anywhere just about.

Thanks, yes, it is very interesting. I've read several books over the years about the Freemasons, secret societies, etc. and it's completely puzzling to me that this pilot was a Freemason. In every book that I've read, Freemasons are born from a Christian background. May just have to read up on this some more!

Investigators treading water in search for stolen sailboat


BY STEVE REEVES
Of The Post and Courier Staff

Investigators said Friday there is still no trace of the 57-foot luxury sailboat stolen last week from a slip at Charleston's City Marina, though sightings of the vessel have been reported from the Bahamas to the interstate.
FBI Special Agent Robert Derr said someone reported seeing the $750,000 yacht near Hope Town on Elbow Cay in the Bahamas. That sighting hasn't been verified, but Derr didn't sound hopeful that it was the boat authorities are seeking.

"I think it's farther along than that by now," Derr said.

But he said that's about the best tip authorities have received so far.

"I don't know whether it's a real sighting or not," he said. "That's about the only sighting we've gotten so far."

The French-made Beneteau sailboat belongs to Atlanta physician Glen McIntosh, who bought the vessel one week before it disappeared the night of Jan. 7 or early Jan. 8. Investigators say they have few clues and no suspects.

The Coast Guard and Charleston Police Harbor Patrol searched for the yacht the day it was reported missing, but no trace was found. Investigators say they are almost certain the yacht, which has a 75-foot-tall mast and weighs more than 47,000 pounds, is on its way to the southern hemisphere.

Fishing and sailing charters have been asked to be on the lookout, advisories have been posted on sailing-related Web sites, ham-radio operators are spreading information about the boat's description, and reward posters are popping up all over the world.

"We'll just wait and see if anyone spots it," Derr said. "That's about all we can do."

The Beneteau 57 is a rare model and was the only one owned so far in North America. McIntosh's boat was the second hull of its class produced. Only 50 of the 57-foot class have been built. The blue-hulled boat with mahogany staterooms was featured prominently in several sailing publications when it arrived in Charleston in May.

Lt. J.E. Williams of the Charleston Police Department said several people have reported seeing the vessel being driven down the interstate on the back of a tractor-trailer.

"There's been a lot of reports of blue-hulled boats on the interstate," Williams said.

But he said the stolen boat is far too large to be carried on a truck.

"Even sitting on its keel on a very low trailer, it would be too tall for the majority of overpasses on the interstate," he said. "So far, we haven't had any definitive reports."

Williams said the boat, which can travel as much as 250 miles a day, could be almost anywhere, but investigators are focusing on the Caribbean and Bahamas for now.

"The longer it doesn't show up, the farther away it could be," he said. "One theory is that it's on its way to Brazil or even farther south."

McIntosh's insurance company is offering a $10,000 reward for information that can help authorities locate the sailboat. Anyone with information is asked to call Derr at 722-0135 or Crimes Stoppers at 554-1111.

I read somewhere recently, can't remember where, that one has to believe in God, that is not be an atheist, as a qualifier for admission to the Freemasons.

I guess the Freemasons are being infiltrated by muslims...no surprise, if so. All part of their plan to win the West by incrementalism, if nothing else.

One would wonder why the Freemasons allowed them to join in so many numbers.

It is quite interesting. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that one doesn't have to be a Christian to be a mason.
http://www.masonicinfo.com/member.htm
This link lists what you must do to become a mason and the second thing is "A belief in a Supreme Being" not "A belief in God".

I notice that we've not heard anything about what they have found by analyzing the black box. Seems like it is taking forever.

And all this information about the master bomber for AQ being in Mexico, well, I'm sure staying watchful here where I'm at.
