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.

I don't know what it is. It came up during a search for call 19.

I've been away from the computer for a while and have got a whole bunch of mail and posts fo respond to so please bear with me - will get caught up shortly. Family stuff called.

These directions assume you have installed Arabic fonts on your computer, and you are running on Windows with Internet Explorer 6.x.

From the IE menu pull up View, then select Encoding, and you should have an option Arabic that you can select.

Let me know if this doesn't work.

[Letitring]

For real? Thanks. It came up under a search for call19. Sorry.

[StillProud2BeFree]

I'll get a translation for you shortly.

Does anyone know how to reformat Arabic posts that come up looking like this:

If you're using Internet explorer, go to View, then encoding then more. Try the various Arabic code pages. Arabic windows works for one page and Arabic ISO worked for the other.

If you're using Mozilla go View, Character encoding, more, Middle Eastern and try the Arabic/Farsi or Hebrew code pages.

I think it is possible that they wanted to turn the plane around and crash it on Tony Blair at the resort and failed somehow

Now that's an interesting theory.

Widgy, thank you. I don't watch television enough to be aware of things. I appreciate you. :)

It's from Babylon 5 and the episode was "A Call to Arms" and this was likely the 19th image.

You're welcome.

There have been a number of assertions by AQ types and/or representatives that they caused the blackouts, with varying responses from our side. Some pooh-pooh it entirely, others consider it possible.

Well, liz, I'm right there with you . . . and your concept of an intended attack on Blair is insightful . . . also heard somewhere around here that Blair's family was to fly out of that airport hours after this crash . . . perhaps they (terrorists) got trigger happy and acted too soon (or got some bad intel) . . . either way, all I want is for some stupid government official, just once, to come out and say "we don't know yet, it could be terrorism, it could be mechanical failure" . . . I get so sick of the instant ruling out of terrorism before it's realistically possible to do so . . .

This is a chronology of attacks carried out against American forces in Iraq during the last week of December - looks like it covers the time period from December 25-December 28. Do you want me to post a translation? There really isn't anything noteworthy in it.
