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.

Realistically, I'm scared to death; but refuse to let the terrorists get the best of me. I lived through 9/11. Family, friends, and business partners didn't. But if I cave now, then they died for nothing.

I couldn't have said it better. After 9/11 I've pretty much been able to deal with coming into the city under the high alerts and carrying on as usual. Lately though, all of this nuke talk has me very nervous.

Yeah, maybe we can get Zogby to do a poll. LOL :-)

Al Qaeda Planned US Blitz

THE panic gripping passenger flights on both sides of the Atlantic was sparked by the discovery of an al-Qaida plot to simultaneously hijack several aircraft and crash them into key US sites.

Top of the list was the White House, but the terrorists also aimed to hit nuclear power stations on the US east coast, unspecified targets in Los Angeles and the giant Valdez oil terminal in Alaska. American and British intelligence operatives learned of the plot from a tip-off on the weekend before Christmas.

The informant said Islamic fanatics planned to hijack flights operated by British Airways, Air France and AeroMexico.

Some of this report seems to jive with what you posted. Note: nuclear power stations (plural).

Its good to see you rant, taking a break from linking so hard! ;)

Your right, too bad the public at large doesn't make it their business to know what true threat we are under and maybe then they would appreciate those who protect us!

Not much danger of fallout, since most of the radiation would go out to sea. Right?

Interesting. What size detonation were you basing this off of? Also - what do you think the fallout risk is to Rochester, NY based on a nuke hit to NYC?

My hubby likes the 12 gauge ;)

From someone who needs lessons:

Is a 12 gauge hard or large to handle, want my teens to learn?

What about the kickback of it?

Living in a city that disallows handguns, where do we get taught how to shoot it and gun-safety?

Liz - Hope your recovery is going well!

What would you bet that the contents of the "black boxes" is very slow to come forth, after they finally find them? I for one will be very interested in seeing if there is any correlation between this one and flight 990.
