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.

This was an audio tape.

Binnie said that a **VIDEO** tape would follow an attack ;-) Go here for more discussion: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eom_and_daleel/ -- Joe X.

I can't translate Arabic text in images, only Arabic text through Tarjim which is a rough translation, but good enough to get the jist of what is being said. I believe StillProud2BeFree translated the text in this image a couple hundred posts back in this thread. BTW, CALL19 had two posts today, they were basically copy/paste jobs of the links from GlobalIslamicMedia regarding today's OBL audio tape (move along, nothing to see here, yada, yada, yada).

"Prosecutor wants Krekar jailed"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: A Norwegian prosecutor wants terror suspect Mullah Krekar held in custody for at least another four weeks. Investigators are connecting him to suicide bombers after tracing his Internet activity.

Still wants mullah Krekar out - 25.11.03



Preliminary charges against the former leader of guerrilla group Ansar al-Islam were filed as long ago as October 30, two full months before he was arrested last Friday. The filing initially was connected to Krekar's alleged involvement with two suicide bombings in Northern Iraq.


It also allowed investigators to monitor Krekar's subsequent Internet use, and charges were widened after Krekar reportedly claimed online that suicide bombers carry out jihad, or holy war."

'after' the execution of an operation which bin Laden described as back-breaking and which would change the order of things

So are we to assume the threat has passed with the new tape yesterday? Is this 'the' tape? I agree much terror has been averted but I think this is to throw us off for the 'true' threat in 27 days

[JustPiper]

Thanx for seeing it Donna ;)

For those who missed this:

Dr. Khan's laboratory-It was provided to The New York Times by the Institute for Science and International Security, in Washington

[JustPiper]

Am I mistaken or did this plane crash in the Red Sea? If they still have to get to the plane, how can they even allege the 'whys' of it crashing?!

[JustPiper]

Would be great if someone could find this source!

[JustPiper]

The message suggests that al Jazeera must air the new message in its entirety or face unspecified consequences.

Good job Liz!

The tape itself will reportedly be broadcast near the time of the attack, but there is some confusion whether it will be before, after or planned to coincide with this

Then either Al-Jazz is going to get creamed or we are not looking at 'the' tape. Why would they not air it's entirety? They don't work with our Feds so...

[JustPiper]

Wish someone could get hold of the 'lost' minutes on this tape! Where's covert when you need them?

[JustPiper]

I wager that if our sleuths here go to their best sourced jihadist cubbyhole- that we will know today what AlJazz did not air!

[JustPiper]

Cnn:

"Today, Baghdad; tomorrow, Riyadh," the speaker said.

There was no specific call for attacks against the United States at home, as was the case in previous tapes.

[JustPiper]

1)an anti-tank missile

My guess

I am wondering if this was one of those messages that Al Queda puts up and takes down quickly in order to send out a message to their followers.

Would seem so

[JustPiper]

It does show one thing, they are watching!

[JustPiper]

French military planes brought a submersible robot and 50 salvage experts to the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh to help retrieve bodies and flight recorders from an airliner that crashed into the Red Sea.

First paragraph says it all about their Bs'ing it could not be terrorism
