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.

Been lurking on this thread and you have done so much work here and pulled together some interesting theories. Thank you and God bless you and all the other Freepers who have contributed so much to this thread.

"There's something that the U.S. Government isn't reporting on the security alerts. There is credible evidence that Al-Qaeda has smuggled in several 8 kiloton nuclear devices into America. Two known devices have been mentioned by their serial numbers that match what the former soviet union had on record. I wouldn't worry about cargo planes flying into buildings.. I would worry about some Allah assclown parking his cheap Nissan Sentra close to a large gathering of people during the Christmas and New Year holidays and detonating it..." ==== I believe it. Some people are sceptical, but I think this is quite possible, in fact, highly likely. As for your mentioning that these nukes could be in a car -- I am sure that's why they are not allowing cars anywhere near LAX, because they can't search them all, so everyone has to park in parking areas further away and use the shuttle bus. I think someone actually posted a thread about this.

Thanx to your ramblings DaDa and dedicated Freeper's how many of you have been stopped since yesterday, thank you Daleel ;)

[JustPiper]

Not at all re: MadCow, good catch CG!

[JustPiper]

I think we can breathe easier now, hope you enjoy your family!

[JustPiper]

We did know the period of 24-48 is nigh, so we know we are being guarded very well...any unusual activity in your area, I know your on vacation but I mean the skies?

[JustPiper]

Thank you Peach. The kudos I think are that we were determined and many of us kept notifying the Feds with things when we found them, so we'll never know if in our small way we have helped our country avert disaster and THAT, even the thought makes me glad I am an American Freeper (corny off;)

[JustPiper]

Yeppers no traffic of drop/pickup BUT they are allowing taxi's which are driven by whom?

[Peach]

Nothing corny about it.

After 9/11, a lot of us were willing to do whatever it took. If this is all we can do, it's more than many do and it takes time, effort and some analysis - all of which you and other Freepers have demonstrated you are willing and able to provide.

Kudos to you and thanks for all your work.

[FairOpinion]

"they are allowing taxi's which are driven by whom?"

==

This is crazy. I do hope they search them thoroughly, but even that isn't sufficient, if they are already close to the airport, they could detonate it right there -- especially if it's a nuke or dirty bomb.

See post 3472 about nukes ID-s by their number.

[Queen Jadis]

My thoughts EXACTLY! I live near LAX, the majority of taxi cab drivers seem to be of Middle Eastern Descent.

The CNN reporter at LAX was pointing out the line of orange cones placed outside the terminal to prevent curbside passenger dropoff when a white van pulled up to drop off passengers. Nobody stopped the van, although the reporter noted that it was not allowed to be there.

Terror fear hits Paris-LA flights - US officials were concerned by names on passenger lists Air France has cancelled six flights between Paris and Los Angeles amid fears of a terror attack.

Even if a terrorist has the truck and uniform do they not have to show papers when making delivery to be allowed in sensitive areas?
