Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles

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.

Immigration politics 2004

In light of the recent increase of the terror alert and threats of a greater attack than 9/11 consider the following:

On Dec 9 Tom Ridge, the head of the homeland security department,publicly stated that we need to have an amnesty for the 8-12 million illegal aliens inside the USA.

The Homeland Security Department in December abruptly abandoned the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System, or NSEERS, which required nonimmigrant males from 25 terrorist-sponsoring nations to register with the INS. This widely successful program was implemented as
the result of 9/11, and has registered 83,000 foreign nationals and detained the 14,000 lawbreakers. A welcome side effect has also been that an estimated 15,000 illegal aliens from Pakistan alone have chosen to return home rather than register. In typical government fashion, the
program that is supposed to replace NSEERS, and is the supposed reason for dropping this successful program, has YET TO BE IMPLEMENTED.

The EEOC, under the direction of the executive branch (and President Bush) is currently suing American companies for 'discrimination' for implementing policies that restrict employees from using foreign languages while at work - even in cases where the foreign language is
being used to speak abusive and foul language under the noses of their English-only speaking managers and business owners.

And in the recent prescription drug plan that President Bush signed, there is ONE BILLION DOLLARS to pay for the hospitalization costs of illegal aliens. This only puts a band-aid on what is a hemorrhage. We will only have to make the hard choice of not subsidizing the healthcare
costs of illegal aliens down the road - when the annual cost is $5 billion, or $20 billion, or $100 billion, per year. (Arizona has a state sponsored healthcare plan. Cost to taxpayers in 2001 was $200 million.

Cost to taxpayers in 2003 will be well in excess of $1 billion - a 500% 2 year increase)

So I think it is time we call President Bush's campaign and let his people know that he must do better if he is to win our vote. While there are unfortunately no good alternative candidates on immigration for president in 2004, we can certainly let him know that we might just
decide to stay home in 2004 out of protest. We might remind him that abandoning the conservative base had quite a bad effect on his father's re-election campaign in 1992.

It is OUR LIVES that are at risk due to President Bush's open border policy. Global corporations and lobbying groups will not bear the cost of a mistake in the war on terror. Unfortunately, the American people will.

What we can do

Call your rep, senators, and president.

Call John Ashcroft at the Justice Department.

Tell them that you insist that we ENFORCE AND STRENGTHEN OUR EXISTING LAWS. And make a regular habit of it.

Also, talk about this issue over the holidays with friends and family.

We must get people talking about this issue via word of mouth if we are to protect America. And we must get other people visiting the immigration web sites and contacting their elected officials to demand more.

On another thread I liked what he wrote:

To: oceanview

"for god's sake, GROUND THE FOREIGN FLIGHTS INTO THE US!"
Well, things aren't really that desperate, but even if they were, there are *interim* steps that can be taken without grounding all flights such as:

Placing two U.S. Marines onto each International flight, both those coming and those going,
Diverting International traffic to nearby military airfields,
Escorting incoming international flights in with fighter jets,
Insuring that all pilots are armed on international flights (1,000+ U.S. pilots have already passed firearms training and are currently packing heat in the cockpit), etc.

And frankly, we probably don't even need to take all of those steps...and those steps aren't nearly as extreme as "grounding all flights."

Now you know I am intpo prophecies

5. Flooding as well as a near miss low yield atomic bomb causes havoc in New York. EMP disrupts the power grid and Wall Street data bases.

I could see the low yield bomb in NY but the EMP has always been my contention for they do want to destablize , even cripple our communications

7. The jihad sets off a red mercury dirty bomb around Wash. D.C. in 2006, causing radioactivity and disease over a period of time. [On a Coast to Coast radio show recently he said it would be a small suitcase bomb, a couple of which are already within our borders. Back in 1994 no one knew what a red mercury bomb was. Now they do. Editor]

I can see this happen in DC now, and it would cause an immediate 3-4 block disaster and the fallout...

On your #8, Pakistan and India definitely and the State Dept put out continous open-ended warnings about Nepal yesterday

Alert!!!

London - new intel indicates immediate threat

Possible Terror Attacks in UK

Terrorist activity and the actual threat has taken a "quantum leap" since September 11, Sir John Stevens said.

Dec. 23 2003

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens has urged the UK public to be vigilant to potential terrorist activity over the festive period.

He said the activity and the actual threat has taken a "quantum leap" since September 11.

Asked whether activity by the security services had prevented terrorist incidents over the last year, Sir John said: "That is absolutely right, there is no doubt about that.

"The hard work has been successful, but we must not be complacent. We really must be vigilant," he said.

Sir John was asked about comments by US homeland security director Tom Ridge, who warned that terrorists were planning attacks similar in scale to September 11.

He warned that while he had not got warnings like that, the security level in this country was raised six weeks ago "for good reason".

Sir John said: "Six weeks ago the necessary actions were taken, we have raised our level. There is an immense amount of activity going on even as I speak in terms of ensuring that people's security is there and more of that will go on over Christmas and the New Year."

The Metropolitan Police Commissioner said he had no reservations about the detention of some terrorist suspects in the UK without trial.

"In relation to people in this country, people have been detained for good reasons. Those good reasons are necessary in the dangerous times in which we live.

"I'm afraid those kind of powers, draconian as they appear to some, are absolutely necessary for what we are dealing with at the moment."

Asked whether he was concerned that the use of such powers might alienate the Islamic community, Sir John said: "The dangerous times we are living in mean that it is up to all of us to work together. Without doing that, we just will not be able to deal with the threat.
