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.

But the FBI, the CIA and other authorities have also picked up troubling intelligence about other plots, and efforts to blow up chemical and hazardous materials facilities, nuclear power plants, dams, power grids, ports and airports.

vague references to upcoming attacks on "major metropolitan areas and events that we're looking at ... bowl games, New Year's events, that kind of thing."

Department of Homeland Security has asked governors and mayors to specifically protect several hundred individual "critical infrastructure" facilities that, if attacked, "could result in a catastrophic loss of life or a devastating effect on the economy," according to the senior U.S. official.

authorities in Los Angeles have identified several chemical facilities and dozens of other potential targets throughout Southern California but asked that they not be disclosed in order to better protect them from attack

Unlike past elevations of the terror threat level, the decision to raise the alert to orange this time was unanimous and decisive, because it was based on what senior Bush administration officials described as the most alarming, credible and specific information they had ever seen.

includes a number of high-profile targets like Los Angeles International Airport, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, and various tourist attractions.

"It's the volume and the quality of the intelligence that is wigging everybody out,

My first thought was that he was giving the serial number of a missing nuke or something to prove that they had something. I looked again and noticed it was hexadecimal which is a common format for software serial/keycodes.

Daleel has his value -- I think he picks up info from real Jihadi websites and pass is it on, with embellishments.

Keep in mind that Calpernia has e-mailed Daleel and is pretty sure he's more than one person.

My take is that several of them are there for disinformation purposes -- posting those long ramblings and such. Possibly to do exactly what's happening with several folks -- making people believe he's not to be taken seriously. Throw them off track.

Then there's one who posts the "real" stuff. The one who makes my hair prickle. He's done that twice now. The most recent was his post on the 19th. The first time was when he posted the image of UBL with the eclipsed moon. The post itself didn't bother me; it was the image. And the first bombings in Istanbul happened right around then.

I may be waaaaay off on my take of Daleel but that's how I see him/them.

The Jihad_ency.zip file was uploaded yesterday to the "mojahdnet" Yahoo group.

You'll note that I placed a few 'choice' pics & mpegs in the 'Files' section. I can't believe the moderator hasn't deleted them yet!

I don't post much. I tend to stay in the background and read.

I believe OEM is more than one person and he/she/they is not a youngster.

EOM posted a warning right before 9/11/01 on that board, and he seems to think something big is about to happen again.

WHOA!! Thanks for posting the link. Good find.

EOM; did you mean ?

Neither were the FR frauds, " youngsters ", who posted garbage and lies.And though some, in the political chat rooms I was in, were youngsters, most of the frauds were at least in their late 40s; most older by far, than that. Stupidity, lying, and gameplaying, on line, knows no age.

Yes but the document creation date in the document info section of of file itself is 10/18/2002 at 8:54:40 pm. Now anyone can set their computer to any date. But this document has been around for a while - I have another copy of it under a different file name (but otherwise apparantly identical) that came from daleel's earlier website, the one that was shut down early in Ramadan.

I'll get that page translated for you in the morning when I am more awake. Couldn't sleep so am catching up on postings.

Good catch. I didn't bother to check the document properties carefully when I had it open in Acrobat.
