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

[history]
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.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1051740/posts "Smuggling alien interests?" (Arabs through Mexico)
Washington Times ^ | 1/5/04 | Terence Jeffrey
Posted on 01/05/2004 3:11:14 AM PST by Elkiejg
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The real life horror story that began 18 months ago when an Arab illegal alien named Youseff Balaghi showed up at a San Diego hospital, dying from what the Border Patrol initially and erroneously feared was radiation sickness, has now reached high into Mexico´s foreign service.
On September 11, 2001, Imelda Ortiz Abdala was Mexico´s consul in Lebanon. On Nov. 12, 2003, Mexican authorities arrested her, according to the Associated Press, "on charges of helping a smuggling ring move Arab migrants into the United States from Mexico." The AP said Mexico had also arrested as the ring leader Salim Boughader Mucharrafille. Boughader had earlier pleaded guilty in the United States to the smuggling incident that resulted in Mr. Balaghi´s death.
Unfortunately, this story is not over.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mike Skerlos prosecuted Boughader. Last week, citing Mrs. Ortiz´s arrest, I asked him if there were still smugglers bringing Middle Easterners in from Mexico.
"Yes," he said.
Far from Iraq, there´s another front where the terrorism war is not over. It´s on our own border and, here, the key enemies are the smugglers who bring people such as Mr. Balaghi into California, and who collaborate with corrupt officials.
In congressional testimony in 2002, then-Assistant Immigration and Naturalization Service Commissioner Joseph Greene said: "Information available to the INS indicates terrorist organizations often use human smuggling operations to move around the globe." According to a Library of Congress study, "Organized Crime and Terrorist Activity in Mexico, 1999-2002," former Mexican national security adviser Adolfo Aguilar Zinser said in May 2001: "Spanish and Islamic terrorist groups are using Mexico as a refuge."
How is the United States countering the threat of terrorists using human smuggling operations and finding refuge in Mexico? Rather than secure our border generally, the government tolerates large-scale illegal immigration, while trying to selectively stop the smuggling operations most likely to move terrorists. The administration, Mr. Greene told Congress, has put in place an "enforcement initiative aimed at targeting alien smuggling organizations specializing in the movement of U.S.-bound aliens from countries that are of interest to the national security of the United States."
Mr. Balaghi was from Lebanon."

Oh my God, Osama is a lunatic. He wants to go down as the greatest martyr in history in his final attempt to demolish the heart and soul of America -- all of this in the name of Allah! As I have always believed, if God wanted to destroy America, he would do it himself, he wouldn't need a psychotic coward to do it for him.
