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.

Jihad Falcon was the person/group who signed the missive that was on www.homelandsecurityus.com's site over the weekend - remember that long message in Arabic that I translated?

[StillProud2BeFree]

There are a couple of major cities missing. Also Conspicuous in its absence is Atlanta. Is any other major US city missing? If memory serves me correctly Atlanta's airport is now the busiest in the US.

Does anyone have that map of known Al Qaeda cells handy? How does this list overlay that map?

Just catching up. Could this picture of red bottles be connected to the picture of what looked like a bloody Mary?

re post no. 6943...

It is common for gang-bangers to use area codes to identify their "territory" where they hang --- so why can't Al Qaida and other enemies use area codes?

Something to think about.

[Letitring]

Yes, and I do thank you for translation. It was also a task force called Falcon in the Afghan war. (muslim side)Yeah that poster Jihad Falcon wants others to join him in martrydom, right?

[Letitring]

Awwwww oh, great catch. Could well be. I've been wondering about that.

Good grief, leave this this thread for an hour and all jihad breaks loose.

[knak]

anywhere online to watch this?

[lugsoul]

Busiest in the world, actually.

Perhaps we are lucky enough to be left out of this round. Of course, if they blow up Atlanta, they lose propaganda opportunities on CNN.

Trust me - I'm paying attention to this stuff. My home is about 4.5 miles east, and downwind, of downtown Atlanta. Or about 15 seconds, in terms of a small nuclear blast downtown. I've thought about it enough to know how many of those seconds it will take to get to my daughter's bed, scoop her up and get to the basement. But Atlanta has certain advantages, in terms of being a terror target. It's sprawling nature makes it tough to even figure out where to hit. Downtown? Midtown? Buckhead? A 1 kilo blast downtown would barely nick Buckhead. Houston also has this "advantage." Also, does AQ really want to massacre a large number of African-Americans?

[Pro-Bush]

I can certainly see a relationship with the picture. ...What would that mean though?

[Letitring]

Where is 404?

[buckrat]

Just annouced on WHIO 1290/Dayotn,Ohio that a Delta Flight has been escorted to Cincy Airport. 14 people of interest on board.

[StillProud2BeFree]

Ut-oh. 404 IS Atlanta!

[WestCoastGal]

DC now says suspect may not be on board?? Has not landed yet, and I can't get on MSBC website. One version, screening of one passenger (she) was checked and her luggage was checked. Nothing else yet, they're going to commercial

[StillProud2BeFree]

At least in terms of area code.
