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

Edited on 01/26/2004 3:58:09 PM PST by Sidebar Moderator. [history]

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.

"Weapons arsenal exposed, Saudis find explosives, arms stockpiles"

"Weapons arsenal exposed Saudis find explosives, arms stockpiles"

Dave Montgomery Knight Ridder Newspapers

Sunday, December 07, 2003

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Saudi government's vigorous pursuit of al-Qaeda has exposed a nationwide terrorist arsenal that experts believe is being fortified by a steady supply of illegal arms pouring across the kingdom's borders.

While Saudi authorities are confident their six-month assault has al-Qaeda on the run, huge stockpiles of arms and explosives uncovered in the investigations show the terrorists have been able to assemble immense destructive force."

"Search of ship finds nothing abnormal"
The Daily News Longview Washington ^ | Dec 07, 2003 | Hope Anderson

Posted on 12/07/2003 7:25:27 PM PST by Oorang

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Coast Guard inspection of a freighter docked at the Port of Longview "didn't uncover or reveal anything," a Coast Guard spokesman said Saturday, but the crew members are not allowed off the ship and security will be maintained until the ship leaves.

"We were not expecting to find anything," Lt. Cmdr. Glynn Smith, the Coast Guard's public affairs officer for the Pacific area, said Saturday by telephone from his office in Alameda, Calif.

The search was routine, according to the Coast Guard, but Longview officials said the security crackdown is the most port activity since the Sept. 11, 2001, security measures.

"We had some intelligence and thought the prudent thing to do would be to secure the vessel, inspect it and provide security while it's in port," Smith said. "This is just precautionary; there's no active threat.""

"Al-Qaida's plan to nuke London"
WorldNetDaily ^ | 12/07/2003 | JOSEPH FARAH


Posted on 12/07/2003 5:34:17 PM PST by tmp02


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network plotted to detonate a dirty nuke bomb floated into London on one of its armada of mystery ships, but the plan was foiled by security forces, says an official.

The device was to be delivered on a cargo ship and moored at a dock ready to be detonated when the wind was right, according to the People newspaper in London. If it had exploded, it would have contaminated a huge area and forced the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of terrified people.

The plot, thwarted by security forces, was revealed by Homeland Security shadow minister Patrick Mercer, a Tory terrorist expert and former senior army officer. A cargo ship suspected of carrying the bomb -- the 26,000-ton MV Nisha -- was stormed by the elite Special Boat Squadron in the English Channel two years ago, said Mercer.

But the Indian-owned vessel was carrying sugar. The real al-Qaida ship bound for Britain was frightened off by the raid."
