Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat
Debka ^ | 11-3-2003 | Staff

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.

And did you see the previous article at that link that says the FBI won't hire Jews who are fluent in Arabic either? My gosh, what a mess. If you can't trust the translators, what will you do? Everyone has a bias in some small way. Maybe the Arab-Americans are at the top of the hiring process, and they fear that Jewish translators will come down too hard on their brethren.

This is all crazy.

I never heard but I doubt he would. Bloomberg was in Times Square during the "dirty bomb" threat this year. I think they key is that people make up their own minds as to whether they believe it. Hitchens said he did not leave NY when he was tipped.

"French seek missing man from canceled flight French authorities said Wednesday they are looking for a man -- believed to be an Afghan -- who was booked on Air France Flight 68 on December 24 but never showed up for the flight"

Didn't they originally say he was a Tunisian?

I am wondering why the Asbury Park Press did not cover this news conference. Or did they?

John Loftus said last night that the FBI is so screwed up, that the CIA is essentially running all terror related activities, both abroad and here at home.

Excellent!

Yes, it is thoughtful and reflective, but also people need to see that Globe of Peace that the jumper landed on when she was forced out of the building by the heat and smoke. I think that it would really have an impact to see that globe and then to see the memorial.

the norwalk viruses on cruise ships are not deliberate, they are caused by both the cleanliness of the third world crew and the passengers themselves. if you want to cruise, use Purell to clean your hands after having touched common items, especially utensils on the buffet line, and you will be fine.

OMG! I'm one of those parents that run to the school when the tornado sirens go off. You can imagine how quick I made it to the school on 9/11.

Fortunately, I live 1 minute from school and always have FOX on. I know about any threats/attacks before the school has a clue. I also have a copy of my childens classes and room numbers so I know exactly where they are at all times. It also pays to know the secretary at the front desk! :)

The reflection pools to me remind me of two gaping scares.

I don't think there is a right answer for that site.

There aren't always right answers.

I read the Press every morning and don't recall seeing anything on it. Then again, I do get the Independant delivered and managed to miss that issue during the holiday craziness. I know the area is well prepared as they were in the aftermath of 9/11. I remember when I returned home from the city that day, my train station had policemen, firemen, ambulances and other emergency vehicles at the ready in case people coming from the city needed assistance. I'll never forget that.

I'm not buying any of that. there is no way hundreds of state officials, down to that low a level, are brought onto a conference call with DHS and told that "4 or 5 terror teams are in NJ, and they may or may not have nuclear devices".

Bachelor did have an interesting show last night. I wish he'd give Loftus more air time.

If caught without potassium iodide you can cover one arm in betadine. There was a study done on this out of Hershey Medical Center in PA. Personally I think it might be a safer way to go with kids.

I get it, you're telling me you think the Independent newpaper and Monmouth County Prosecutor John Kaye are liars.

We all have our opinions.

I just happen to know he is dead-on correct but my lips are sealed.

The Globe, or what's left of it, is on display at a small 9/11 memorial in Battery Park now.

Here is an interesting chart form August 2001

http://www.kitco.com/LFgif/auaug01.gif

Shows a considerable jump in gold price about one month before 9/11.

Here is the whole year.
