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 want to thank Sean for being part of this thread.

He spent six years on active duty in the US Navy as a Cryptologic Technician Technical and worked as an intercept (TEBO) operator under NSACSS tasking. He was selected for ELINT (electronic intelligence) school and was subsequently assigned to the Naval Security Group Activity (NSGA) in Naples, Italy where he functioned at the OWS (Operations Watch Supervisor) providing real-time intelligence to COMSUBMED, COMAIRMED and CINCUSNAVEUR. Upon Mr. Osborne's re-enlistment, he was assigned to Classic Wizard school which was and continues to be an "above Top Secret" surveillance system.
Mr. Osborne has also been a civilian contractor for the past 18 years, working for Honeywell and its 1990 defense spinoff Alliant Techsystems as a deployable field rep to the US Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. He was deployed with the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) to their forward operations post (SFOB-10) in Panzer Kaserne, Boeblingen, Germany, subsequently supporting all of the US Army's Special Forces Groups, including the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, and the 112th Signal battalion (Special Operations) also at Ft. Bragg, N.C.
Following the attacks of September 11, 2001 Mr. Osborne took a position with PKMM, Inc. as a field deployable communications, intelligence and logistics specialist. He spent 4 months in the Mojave desert in 2002 at NTC, Ft. Irwin, California training with the 325th Airbone Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division and the Army's first Stryker Bigade combat team out of Ft. Lewis, WA.

Following the attacks against the US on 9/11, Mr. Osborne has been privately active in the pursuit of the continuing threats against our country. "Long before the revelation of the 16-page document reported by The Evening Standard, I was convinced by open-source intelligence of Iraqi and al-Qaeda involvement in the attacks on US soil going back to the original WTC attack in 1993, and the anthrax attacks in the US in 2001."
Sean, The biggest thank you for keeping us safe!!!
