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.

"Terrorist Cells Too Close For Comfort" The Washington Times ^ | December 10, 2003 | Jerry Seper


Posted on 12/09/2003 10:23:51 PM PST by quidnunc


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Buffalo, N.Y. – They're hiding in plain sight, just north of here — a short striking distance away from some of America's most-vulnerable targets.

This silent army of terrorists, including members of al Qaeda, has the "capability and conviction" to support devastating attacks across North America, operating out of "sleeper cells" from Montreal to Vancouver, according to U.S. and Canadian law-enforcement authorities.

Attorney General John Ashcroft has called the 4,121-mile U.S.-Canada border a "soft spot" for terrorism, and law-enforcement authorities in both countries think that cell members in Canada — and others who have relocated to the United States — are awaiting orders, financing and a window of opportunity to strike again.

And the authorities said the large and growing population of illegal aliens now in the United States gives the would-be terrorists, mostly Islamist extremists, the necessary cover to operate in this country."

Look, that story about OBL having nuclear weapons is two years old. Is there an update or correction here, or is this just a rehash of an unsubstantiated story?

Yes, I see the new posts. I would like to get a copy of the new file that is supposed to be available here.

Thanx.

[Mossad1967]

The London-based Arabic daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi reported that "information sources close to Al-Qa'ida said that the organization, headed by Osama bin Laden, is gearing up for a big operation to coincide with Eid Al-Adha [February 2, 2004].(1)

"The information coordinator for the Sahab Institute, which is associated with Al-Qa'ida, said that a new videotape of bin Laden will be circulated shortly before the holiday. He added in an interview with the Internet site Al-Anbaa [The News] that the videotape will surface in conjunction with 'a great event that will shake the region.' He refused to confirm or deny that he was in possession of a pre-taped videotape of bin Laden, and stated only that: 'When the event occurs it will be broadcast by Al-Jazeera television.' "The coordinator explained that he had an agreement with Al-Jazeera by which it was committed to broadcast any videotape that the Sahab Institute provides about Al-Qa'ida. He pointed out that the Institute would sever its relations with the station if it refused to broadcast a videotape, and reiterated that 'the station is obligated to broadcast any videotape we send to it.'

"The coordinator, identified by the nickname 'Abi Osama' [Osama's Father], added: 'We duplicate and edit the videotapes of the organization in special ways, and then send them to news channels, including Al-Jazeera, in response to orders issued to us.' He added that the telecast of the recent bombings in Riyadh, including the bombings in the Al-Muhiya neighborhood in the Saudi capital, is in itself evidence enough of Al-Qa'ida's responsibility for these events."(2)

Endnotes: (1) Eid al-Adha is one of the two major Muslim holidays, and is celebrated on the tenth day of the Islamic month Dhul-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar in which millions of Muslims from around the world make an annual pilgrimage to Mecca. (2) Al-Quds Al-Arabi (London), December 9, 2003.

"Homeland security chief endorses legalizing undocumented immigrants"
sun-sentinel.com ^ | 12-10-03 | Tanya Weinberg

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge told a Miami audience Tuesday that the country should legalize millions of undocumented immigrants living in the country.



"The bottom line is, as a country we have to come to grips with the presence of 8 to 12 million illegals, afford them some kind of legal status some way,but also as a country decide what our immigration policy is and then enforce it," Ridge said at a town hall meeting at Miami-Dade Community College."

...decide what our immigration policy is and then enforce it.

What a dangerous idiot. Our 'policy' is called "the law" and needs enforcing. Granting amnesty to terrorists is a poor idea. What a nightmare. How much did CAIR and Grover pay this guy?

[lentulusgracchus]

"........but also as a country decide what our immigration policy is and then enforce it"

That's what they said before the amnesty in 1986. Hollow words.

This problem will never be solved until we repudiate, break, and overcome the Business Wing of the GOP. They never met a hungry immigrant they didn't like. They're addicted to wage-breaking, and to illegal immigration. "It's all in the numbers."
