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.

Is Al Qaeda Threatening A Nuclear Attack (Incredible Read)- Mens News Daily ^ | 12-23-2003 | Jeremy Reynalds

I would hope the BunnyRanch would call the FBI or HS if a group of ME muslim type came in for services all of a sudden. They claim to be a patriotic outfit regardless of the moral stance they take or should I say don't take.

Saw a bit on Scarborough and the prostitute said how she loved her work and everyday something new and exciting happens....I can see men saying this but woman DO get emotionally involved when the physical line is crossed unless they are soul numbed. I just cannot imagine being a woman and enjoying men using me as a mere object.

Enough rant on woman's feelings back to the 9 11 creeps didn't they go out to strip clubs and party like what they percieve the Americans do on a normal daily basis?

Right you are. But the actual text tells you a lot as to the approximate age of the writer. And I don't mean the choice of words or vocabulary. Take for instance the following: "You do not make me fear with your mention of FBI... they are funny funny little men who are impotentent can do nothing we see many of them during our missions in Kenya, all confused walk around with their hands in their pockets. we laugh outloud

The quotation above is not something that a young person, say, between 14 and 18, would write. Such a descriptive impression of our FBI agents is one that only a mature person would pay attention to and retain. Also, if you reread some of EOM's posts you'll notice that, either it is from two or more person, OR it's the same person trying to disquise his writing style, syntax, spelling skills.

I'm not making any other assertions other than the two I made above - ie, that EOM is a mature person and that EOM may be more than two persons. I'm not saying that EOM is legit and has insider info.

So can someone sum up what they think is going to happen and where, so I can stay the heck away from there.

[TomInNJ]

My impression is that if an attack will take place, it will be a series of attacks none of which will compare to the 9-11 ones. I hope and pray nothing will happen as I'm traveling to Staten Island on Christmas day.

[nopardons]

Thus far, you and I are in agreement.

This thread doesn't wipe me out, just makes me more glad every day that we've prepared. Some of our friends think we're nuts, others have paid attention to what I've told them and have followed suit.

Only time will tell, but I don't mind saying it wouldn't bother me a bit NOT to need all this stuff. :-)

Re; post #3053:

Thanks for posting the link to that thread. As I posted there, I'll post here. I need to go through all these bookmarked threads I have to, hopefully, find links.

It was reported some time back that a truckload (it may have been more than one truck) of airline uniforms (maintenance; baggage; security personnel) was stolen. The truck(s?) was found but it was empty.

At that same time, airline pilots were alerted that pilot uniforms and ID badges were being stolen out of motel rooms.

Recently, the alert is given that cargo planes may be used in attacks and now this news.

Cells comprised of a pilot, co-pilot, and baggage handlers working together on cargo flights.......

So can someone sum up what they think is going to happen and where, so I can stay the heck away from there.

Sorry, nothing but trash-talk from the Jihadists and speculation by Freepers in this thread. Lots of networking, idea sharing and 'thinking outside the box' going on here which is a good thing. Let's hope the Feds are lurking.

Regarding some of the NE Intel network webpages and the past posts regarding the photo of Niagara Falls,...I spoke to a civilian collegue recently who mentioned working at the Niagara Falls Air Natioanl Guard or AFR Base,...major function was to provide fuel for all C-135s in transAtlantic air support.

Perhaps the significance is a operational impedence against tacair once they commandeer the air carriers in numbers from overseas origins and pack them from overseas bases. Our response time might strongly imply midair refueling capacity.

From MSNBC article: "New intelligence indicates that al-Qaida remains intent on attacking large gatherings of people with chemical or biological weapons, official said. They said law enforcement agencies were looking closely at two rural locations — one in the East and the other in the Southwest — that were believed to be high on the terrorist target list."

I'm stumped as to what location they're referring to in the East but the little bell just went "ding" in my head as to the one in the Southwest. Texas is considered in the Southwest and there's a ranch there that, I'm sure, very much interests the terrorists.

[JustPiper]

Heard on MSNBC, officials 'off' the record are saying they are aware of two specific targeted areas: not rural but
One in the East
One in the SW

I believe IMO that is Lake Erie, NY and Las Vegas but that is 'just' my opinion

[JustPiper]

I've been trying to vibe on this, for my instinct is the best thing I have going, the message I get is it anything catastropic will be averted but smaller attacks will not. So I still go with my original- Saudi decimated and here other's can better surmise where in NY and what and Las Vegas

[JustPiper]

BTW welcome aboard ;) If you are from the coast stay away from Long Beach and Rose Bowl parade (FairOpinion and MHKing)

[JustPiper]

So glad friends are listening to you and I am with you on hoping all of these posts don't pan out!

[JustPiper]

Niagra is east

[JustPiper]

Ah you found the same new info -g- But the reason I felt Vegas was the warning of such (My comments in parenthesis):

12-8 to 1-1-04 (Date per Feds now extended to 1-31-04)

New York City (E)

Las Vegas and Washington, D.C. NYC — weapons-grade anthrax dispersed from NYC skyscrapers (Vegas SW)

Las Vegas and Washington, D.C. — "A" bombs New York City

Las Vegas strip (media will be forewarned)
The White House

US and British intel, plus al-Qaeda deep rational "plants" Attack probality is High (What you and I heard is said to have come from someone deep within AlQ)

And what we heard completely gells with what Quayle has had up

[JustPiper]

Per MSNBC

Authorities would not describe the terror threats in detail publicly, but the U.S. officials told NBC’s Jim Miklaszewski that the threat alert would remain at “orange,” or high, through the end of January, which they said was an indication of its seriousness.

Al-Qaida may have dirty bomb
New intelligence indicates that al-Qaida remains intent on attacking large gatherings of people with chemical or biological weapons, official said. They said law enforcement agencies were looking closely at two rural locations — one in the East and the other in the Southwest — that were believed to be high on the terrorist target list.

Experts said a potent dirty bomb could spread radioactive material for a half-mile in all directions. People in the fallout zone would be bombarded with radiation levels that they would not otherwise be exposed to from natural sources for a full year.

While it may not particularly deadly, the psychological impact of a dirty bomb could be devastating, experts said.

"The point of a dirty bomb is not mass casualties,” terrorism specialist Roger Cressey, chief of staff for President Bush’s Critical Infrastructure Protection Board from November 2001 to September 2002, said in an interview. “It's much more to instill fear and panic into the general population."
