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.

If you get an answer ping me! One of my brothers has worked with gov. intel. for years and these days when we are on the phone and I simple say "how are things going" he hurriedly says "I can't talk about it, I can't talk about anything, don't ask". We used to discuss all kinds of things. Maybe when he retires...

I don't get it either JustPiper. I've looked at sites all over the Internet today trying to find this guy's picture and have come up with zip.

What with all the warnings flying around about him I would think that at least we could be given a good description and a picture, even if it is an older picture, in order to be on the lookout.

I have found his name on some of the "be on the watch for" links, but that's all. Just his name. He's listed here

but no pic.

I keep hoping someone can come up with more on him.

My son was 3ID involved with the spearhead to Baghdad.When he would call about all he could say was that he was fine.He wouldn't tell me where he was or anything. I knew what unit he was in and when we heard it was hit with a missle in early april with 4 dead we about went nuts till we heard from him 3 days later.

[Letitring]

We might not have a photo of him. Some of them, we don't, is my understanding.

[Oorang]

I don't know that my nerves would have handled it. You are a strong person. Thanks to your son for his service.

[eastforker]

Sorta like Carlos in Tequila Sunrise.

He is out now and in the process of moving to Portland Oregon with his wife. He wants to be a chef and the culinary school there is supposed to be one of the best.

My brother was in the 2nd Marine division in Gulf War 1.

Its really stressful when your family is on the line.

Hope he gets home safe real soon.

re post no. 12161...

No problem...The American media and ME media does vary at times with the spelling of names and the ME media does tend to spell names differently depending on what region of the ME the news agency is located.

I think we must have some pretty specific information that he DOES HAVE nuclear materials, in fact maybe even a real backpack nuke.

I do hope you're wrong. However from the point of view of al-Qaeda the dirty bomb has some definite attractions over a real nuke - no sensitive timers, no questions about charge shaping or material purity. And if it's a stolen bomb (which a backpack nuke would be at some point in its chain of possession) there would be potential issues about passcodes &c. Plus many people would probably panic (irrationally) nearly as much about a dirty bomb as about the real thing ... at least those who don't have much knowledge about what the real thing would do (shudder).

It's going to be very hard to sort out what our people know about what he has ... there will be multiple layers of deception or denial in order to try to trap him and/or to avoid making things worse.

[Letitring]

Yes, I've heard that a few times. :) It's let it ring, because I never answer my telephone. Hate them. :)Friends tagged me with that screen name, years ago.

re post no. 12,165...

I understand how you feel.

3 days after I was married (old story now) the PD my husband was working for called my mother-in-law (she was still on the contact card). My mother-in-law called me saying that my husband had been injured (by bad guy).

It took quite awhile to convince the PD that I WAS THE WIFE and wanted to know how my husband was. He turned out to be ok.

Will you get your mind out of the "french" please?!
