Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat

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.

In my heart of hearts I feel the 'imminent' danger is passed but do not misunderstand, I will not feel safe until the first week of February. I just know our Protector's have done some amazing work in the past 24 hours.

So true, so true. BTTT!

Thanks to all who are keeping this up-to-date. Have not been around much lately, but am reading and watching. Be safe, All, and Blessed Christmas!

I wasn't referring to Pali terror cells... I was referring to US domestic terror cells... which have NOT targetted malls (unless local law enforcement have interdicted and the story hasn't been told).

"have NOT targetted malls "


....YET.

Just as they didn't fly into tall buildings, until they flew into the WTC on 9-11-01.

DeGaulle airport is notoriously poor on security, they most likely don't even peruse their lists

[JustPiper]

You know what? Being France has stepped on us and is known for chronological lying , why would any American travel to France anyway?

Bump on Vegas

[JustPiper]

It should be because although DHS alleges locals have to be responsible for their own, mayhaps they are intentionally keeping them in the dark or the locals are 'told' to say they are not aware of any specific threat...look at that poor little town in VA

"It would surprise me if a public official would go on record and blatantly lie that way about something of this magnitude. "

Well, it wouldn't surprise me. I think they have to weigh the risks and benefits -- would it really help any, if they admitted they have specific info. Just as I am sure they have a lot of specific info about other cities and attacks, which they are not releasing, and claim they only have general info, so as not to panic people on one hand and not to give away to the terrorists what they know, on the other hand.

Or maybe there is no "specific" info -- but then, how do you define specific.

Here is more, where they are indeed categorically denying knowing anything specific -- but it also give you the idea how acutely conscious they are of their tourist industry.

Las Vegas Holiday Threat Update

http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=1577316&nav=168XJrC7

(Dec. 24) -- Homeland security officials are concerned about Las Vegas as a potential terrorist target. And because tourism is such a big part of our city's livelihood -- how are authorities preparing for a possible disaster?

Law enforcement agencies continue to gather information so if a threat to the Valley is uncovered, they can act. Las Vegas relies on the 36-million visitors a year that pass through our hotels and casinos. If you look around on The Strip this Christmas Eve, you will still see a lot of tourists. Tourism experts say that an attack here could devastate this economy.

All of the precautions are enough for Nevada Democratic Congresswoman Shelley Berkley. She says Secretary Ridge made a poor choice using Las Vegas as an example of cities that could be targets for terrorism. "If there was any specific mention of Las Vegas, we would know about it and I would not be standing here giving you false information." Representative Berkley is concerned because just the mention of Las Vegas in that context could affect the tourism industry.

Blessed protection for you and your's also Bell!

REPEATEDLY the last 1-3 years, The Lord has been emphasizing to many people that

HE WAS GOING TO SHAKE ALL THAT COULD BE SHAKEN in the earth and in Heaven.

I just read another prophetic email to that effect.

I think a LOT of stuff is going to hit the fan.

[Quix]

I think we've passed a big chunk of something (and that some big things have been prevented, intercepted, prayed off/away) but I don't believe all the great hazard is past.

If we reach my Feb birthday 2 months from now without more destructiveness on a big scale, I'll be surprised but greatly rejoicing.

Thanks for your labors hereon!

MERRY CHRISTMAS & XIN NIAN QUAI LE--HAPPY NEW YEAR.
