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.

Paris-L.A. Flights Scrubbed, Sniffers Deployed - Dec. 25 — By Gina Keating - LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Air France canceled Christmas flights to Los Angeles on Wednesday after U.S. intelligence found the name of at least one person suspected of having links to terror groups on passenger manifests and acted to avert a feared repeat of Sept. 11-style hijack attacks. - Separately, extra sensors have been deployed to sniff the air for deadly microbes that could be used in a strike, the Department of Homeland Security said - U.S. officials relayed "credible, reliable" intelligence reports to France that extremist groups were planning "near-term simultaneous attacks that would rival Sept. 11," a U.S. official said.

Subject: An Urgent and important letter to the american people..READ THIS WELL!!

 
The Nuclear suit cases of sheikh Osama bin laden

In the seventies Russian scientists were ordered to produce and
manufacture small nuclear bombs the size of suit cases by the (KGB) to
destroy the enemy's major targets in the war, like electricity
facilities and bridges, and so on.

These small tactical nuclear suit cases have a destruction power of
about 1000 tones worth of TNT, and that's about 10% of a conventional
nuclear bomb like the ones that America dropped on the cities of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

So if Al-Qaida was able to smuggle these suit cases into the United
States this means that its possible to destroy the Congress entirely
and everything as close as half a mile from it, and would eventually
spread out nuclear dust in all the region of Washington!.

These nuclear suit cases have the capability to kill up to 100,000
people from the nuclear dust it spreads, and the affected area will be
a ghost town for a long time to come.

These nuclear suit cases weigh from 30kg to 45 kg per suit case, it's
possible for any one to carry it on his back, and it just needs one
person to blow it up.

There is also another kind of nuclear suit cases that are made up of
only nuclear radiation waste, these kind of bombs just need normal
explosives to spread out the radiation that will eventually destroy
life in a wide area.

What does the American administration know and hiding from the
American public?

American Intelligence have noted that Osama bin laden has tried to buy
enriched uranium in 1993, but other intelligence discovered that Osama
Bin Laden was actually able of buying tactical nuclear weapons from
the black market and that's directly after the collapse of the former
Soviet Union. These weapons were smuggled out from the factory's and
production facilities that have been closed with out a watching eye.

Other intelligence have told the US that bin laden was able of buying
more than 20 nuclear suit cases for an amount of 30 million US
dollars, and the Russian mafia was responsible for the smuggling of
these suit cases out of the former Soviet Union and they succeeded.

Other intelligence came out from a former Al-Qaida operative the
Sudanese Jamal Ahmad Al-Fadl that was held for the blowing up of the
two American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, he noted to the French
news paper (express) that he looked for nuclear material on the behalf
of Al-Qaida in Sudan and was capable of finding what he was looking
for, after that he called a high Al-Qaida operative and sent him the
details of what he has found. Al-Fadl said that Al-Qaida was very
happy from what he has found and sent him 10,000$ and told him we will
continue the buying. And so they did!

In 1997, the American administration woke up from its sleep after a
press release from General Alexander Leped the adviser of the former
Russian President Bores Yalitsen speaking in an interview with an
American news channel saying (the Former Soviet Union has lost 100
small nuclear suite cases since the fall of the former Soviet Union
and that they don't know where they have disappeared to!!)

After that interview directly the Russians issued a statement saying
that General Alexander Leped was lying and accused him of stupidity
and that he was trying to have some political publicity.

But the strange thing in this story is that General Alexander Leped
was killed later on in a chopper crash in Siberia in 2002! And the
official statement from the Russian authority's to the cause of the
crash was that the shopper bulged into electricity cables due to bad
weather!!!

After the blessed attacks of 9-11 Osama bin laden was Quoted saying to
a Pakistani news paper (Al-fager) "Al-Qaida has nuclear and chemical
weapons and these weapons are there for defense purposes" and added
"we would use them against the United States if they use against us
any sort of weapons like these".

American intelligence also knows that Al-Qaida has Nuclear
Capabilities, after Bin Sheba was detained and through interrogations
he confessed that Al-Qaida does in fact have a small arsenal of
nuclear weapons ready to be deployed and used.

When Taliban started its fast evacuation from parts of Afghanistan it
left behind it traces of paper that indicated to the American
intelligence that Al-Qaida has knowledge about nuclear and chemical
weapons. One of these papers that were found had the titled (the big
bombs) and it describes exactly how to produce a nuclear explosions in
an easy method. It was then certain to the American intelligence team
that Al-Qaida has probably been able of producing what's called ( a
nuclear radiation explosion bomb)which if deployed would make a huge
area a ghost town.

Why are we publishing all this to you?

We want the American people to start opining their eyes before it's
too late to how their government is lying to them every day, although
they know who Al-Qaida is! They know its Capabilities. America thought
that it can be one day the strongest power in the world and that no
one would be able to stand against her, but God has his ways also and
knows how to break a huge nation with a few small and weak followers.

Wake up Americans, your country was trying to be the police man of the
world, taking everything for granted as if every one on this planet is
its slave! But no, that will never be or happen, not now and not in a
million years to come.

America was made up with a huge army that would face and destroy huge
army's like her, but it could never win a war with ghosts that stand
everywhere and nowhere standing up for this so called great nation!!

Always keep in you're your mind that what goes around comes around.
Always remember how your great nation dropped nuclear weapons without
any kind of sympathy what so ever on the cities of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki killing millions of children, men, and women, what a great
nation!! So don't be surprised if God decides to send you the same
revenge!! God is fair don't you think!

Praise to God almighty as we move closer to a new Islamic era whether
you like it or not.

I don't remember seeing this story. I guess there has been on follow up about who planted the bombs.

The two postings by Daleel today are distinctively different in writing style. I would bet that they are not written by the same person. There is something decidely fishy going on within that Yahoogroup.

Heck I halfway expect his next posting to be his announcement as a democratic candidate for the presidency in 2004!

If it were plutonium that would be one thing, but other elements do not have such lengthy half-lives.

I am far from being a nuclear physicist but it depends on the isotope as well as the element. 239Pu, if I'm reading a table correctly, has a half-life of almost 25,000 years. 228Pu, only a few milliseconds. Different types of fission weapons produce isotopes of various elements in different ratios. I think alot of the concern over a radiological bomb is due to Cobalt-60 stolen from medical or irradiation sources, with a half-life of 5 years.

A dirty bomb has a spread effect -- as an explosive it may not take out more than a few yards -- but the contamination and rad effect can be over many square miles. And while the half-lifes are short for most things, some are not. In even in that short span -- minutes/hours -- tens of thousands of people can be directly effected.

For example: Cobalt. I took a whole-body dosimeter one day, right behind a turbine engineer who -- very bad for him -- had a spec of Cobalt-60 in his lungs. That's as bad as plutonium. Probably picked it up from some of the alloyed metals used in the boiling water nuke turbines he also worked on.

I'll never forget his "Aw Sh&t!".

Hopefuly he had surgery to have it removed before it started a cancer Radioactivity tags itself. It does make comprehensive clean-up possible and not that difficult.

How Bad Can a 'Dirty Bomb' Be?

The most likely radioactive element in a dirty bomb is cesium-137, according to Phil Anderson, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. And the "consensus government view," according to a March report in The Washington Post, is that al-Qaida "has probably acquired" the isotope, which has a half-life of 30 years.

What's worse, cesium is the most "reactive" metal there is -- in nature, cesium's always found combined with another element. So the isotope becomes easily attached to roofing materials, concrete, and soil, said Fritz Steinhausler, who led the International Atomic Energy Agency's environmental assessment of the disaster at Chernobyl.

"The Russians tried to clean it up for years, and they eventually gave up. It just wasn't economically viable," said Steinhausler, who's currently a physics professor and visiting scholar at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation.

In Goiania, Brazil, four people died and more than 34,000 people had to be individually screened for contamination after a man in 1987 found an abandoned medical device filled with cesium-137 in a junkyard.

That's because cesium interacts disturbingly well with muscle tissue because of its chemical similarity to potassium, which muscles need to flex.

Fortunately, the body is used to processing these kind of chemicals, and excretes half of the cesium it absorbs within 100 days. (In contrast, radioactive strontium-90, similar to calcium, is absorbed into bone, and can take 30 years for the body to get rid of half.) But the absorbed cesium "would nevertheless cause a radiation dose, potentially increasing the risk for cancer," Steinhausler said.

Is this is set up in a major city, it could make it uninhabitable for a long time!
