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

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.

Look what I just came across!

Chart: Al-Qa`ida's WMD Activities

It is a huge chart, to big to post, but it details what we know about AQ's WMD activities, including specific sources

Very Interesting Find on CNS

A reporter purchases two computers from a looter in Kabul, Afghanistan, that had been found in an abandoned al-Qa`ida office. The U.S. government confirms the existence of the computers. One of the computers allegedly contains a file describing "plans to launch a chemical and biological weapons program." Bin Ladin's deputy al-Zawahiri reportedly created computer documents describing his CW and BW program, codenamed "Curdled Milk," which included work on a pesticide/nerve agent that used a chemical to increase absorption and was tested on rabbits and dogs. He was assisted by Midhat al-Mursi / Abu Khabbab, a chemical engineer.

" My personal guess (putting on tin-foil hat) is that we are fearing REAL nukes, and using the dirty bomb notion as cover."

Yeah, I've been thinking that for the past 400 or so posts...just like the color code drop being a decoy.

Mr. Kincaid asks whether Al Qaeda got anthrax (to include germ bombs) from Libya. Cliff Kincaid, "Was Libya Behind The Anthrax Attacks?", aim.orgJanuary 13, 2004 (Milton Leitenberg says Project Coast did not have Ames). 1/15 "Dad," he whispered. His Dad could barely hear him. "'I've been arrested, I'm being taken, I don't know where or why." Moazzam Begg was in the trunk of a car being taken away from his apartment in Islamabad. He had been picked up by Pakistan and US agents. The Britoner had come to Pakistan with his wife and children after the US strikes began in Afghanistan. It was February 2002. Months later, he would confess to being involved with an Al Qaeda plot to disperse weaponized anthrax using a drone. His name had been found on a money transfer in the one-room chemical bunker of Egyptian scientist Midhat Mursi at a camp in Afghanistan.

When combined with a potent toxin, it can ease the absorption of the poison through the skin, experts say. Midhat Mursi had worked on a chemical additive to increase skin absorption.

Loftis said on Fox news this morning that he had crossed into America, and was a big part of the reason for the Orange alert over the Holidays...

[JustPiper]

A central player in the effort has been Midhat al Mursi, an Egyptian who is among the most-wanted al Qaeda operatives but who remains at large. He ran a development and testing facility for lethal chemicals in a camp…in…Afghanistan…" Despite this, the FBI still refuses to link al Qaeda to the anthrax attacks.

he's here?? great

[Mrs. Xtrmst]

Are there very many chemical plants at the end of railroad tracks? I suppose there could be loading docks or whatever they call them in the train world...depots? Just wondering...

[Domestic Church]

"when combined with a potent toxin, it can ease the absorbtion"

Maybe the additive came from Shima?

US launches worldwide hunt for Al-Qaeda's bombmaker

New York: U.S. intelligence agencies have launched a worldwide manhunt for Al-Qaeda's master bombmaker, who, they contend, may be building a 'dirty' bomb and other new devices for terror attacks inside the United States, a media report has said.

U.S. counter-terrorism officials were quoted by the New York Post as saying that it was new information about the activities of Egyptian-born bomb maker Midhat Mursi, in part, that led the Bush administration to secretly dispatch Department of Energy radiological detection teams to New York and four other cities at New Year's eve.

When was this knak?

[Letitring]

Yep.

There is that disclaimer on NIN, please find reassurance in that JG

[StillProud2BeFree]

I was reading more about this a few minutes ago. They have indepth instructions on the web for creating some pretty evil toxins and poisons from things you can readily get your hands on, and even have information on several different ways to administer and maximize skin absorption. Evil stuff. You'll understand if I don't post a link

[JustPiper]

Thank you so very much PL!!! We have one very overworked translator and I know she'll appreciate this! We all will!

[knak]

I don't really know. I just found it a little while ago and haven't been able to find anything else about it. Maybe it wasn't any big deal.
