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

Edited on 01/26/2004 3:58:09 PM PST by Sidebar Moderator. [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.

The Nittany Lion vandalism is somewhere upstream in this thread - it also had a thread of it's own. It was at Penn State University. The vandals' message said "Bush dies 12/10" - or something like that . . . anyway, I observed that day with some concern and was pleased to see that President Bush survived unscathed . . .

New Intel Source on Al Qaeda Led to Orange Alert

The nation's terror alert level was raised to orange in the weeks leading up to the holiday season because of threats that Al Qaeda (search) was possibly looking to use explosives on Air France flights, Fox News has confirmed.



For the first time since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, a U.S. intelligence source was able to give officials such specific information about how Usama bin Laden's (search) terror group may be planning imminent attacks in the United States using commercial airliners, U.S. officials confirmed to Fox News. The source provided strategic and tactical details of how the terror network wanted to carry out terror attacks on American political and economic targets.

For those of you who are interested in prophecy, a man from Romania had dreams and visions regarding attacks on America. He saw Russia and other countries involved in hitting nuclear warehouses in America. And he saw cities in California, Florida and New York as well as Las Vegas burning. The guy's name was Dumitru Duduman.

I do not believe Christians should pay any attention to Nostradamus because he got his visions through the use of sorcery.
Duduman's prophecies can be read on the web site www.handofhelp.com

QM2 Cruises Into Security Scrutiny

MIAMI — Longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall and weighing in at about 150,000 tons, the Queen Mary 2 (search) is the biggest cruise ship ever built, making its maiden voyage a massive security concern.

The trans-Atlantic trip, which began Monday in England and ends Jan. 24 in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., is being made under tight security. When U.S. forces captured Al Qaeda's so-called "chief of naval operations," he was carrying a 180 page-document listing targets of opportunity -- supposedly including large Western cruise ships.

Yes, I'm sure this is the former USC football player. The profile is a match. This guy probably doesn't even know there is a terrorist alert!

The latest post by the infamous "EOM":

EOM Infidels EOM has special information
Mon Jan 12 2004 4:26:22 pm
213.150.189.170

EOM will not post for four days from now. I will be traveling to Amerikkka. Yes is true, my second trip only this time will be going to Houston Texus. I go Mexico first. Am to leave in the afternoon. Anyone who post in my name will be impostor. I take piss on Aemrikkkan soil when I arrive. You get what you wish soon. You will see.

If this guy is for real, why would he/she be so specific? Sounds like disinformation or flat out fraud.

re post #9,501

Yep I agree brucecw and to tell you the truth I'm amazed we have made it this far without getting hit. There's no way I can believe that they haven't tried to hit us again. Anyone who fights a war and has that many people following them wouldn't give us a breather for this long.

If your gonna show you are a formitable force then after an attack like 9/11 they would at least have to hit us (even in a number of small ways) again in a decent period of time to show they are that powerful.

Judging from all the chest beating that the al-jerky boys have been doing the past few months and nothing has seemed to happen I'm pretty sure 1 of 2 things have happened.

1.) The people they sent to hit us got scared and quit the op they were ordered to carry out.

2.) Most of the ones who were to carry out the ops are either in a jail cell or they are dead and are now one of the devils many gf's ;)

I'd much prefer #2 but I'll settle for #1 right now as well.

Sure!

Last week it was, "The falcon will soon be traveling." Then it was "the falcon is in the air." Then it was, he would be in "secure locations in 48-60 hours." Said time having now passed.

About every 750-1000 posts I like to say this:

These terrorists, even if real, got nothing! Zip, Nada, Bukus.

I'd be surprised if they could mount a car bomb. Where are all these "sleeper agents?" Most of them are playing play station two and living it up, with no intention of blowing themselves up for these morons.

In 2001, they used a clever plan and some box-cutters to run airplanes into buildings. Now, we are to believe that in just over two years, they have acquired WMD? Get serious. (Hell -- as it turns out, even Saddam didn't have WMD, and he spent Billions on it -- Billions!!)

BTW -- what happened to those teams of terrorists roaming New Jersey with suitcase nukes? Did they forget their E-Z pass?

This page makes for a fun read, and Freepers sure are creative. But there are no sleeper agents with WMD getting ready to take out American cities, nor have I seen any credible threat to a US originating flight.

Let's remain vigilant for nuts, but our Friend EOM is at best a gutless wannabe, at worst a prankster.

Buy low, sell high, don't hold gold, and don't stock up on canned goods -- EOM and his buddies are still trying to graduate from box-cutters.

Iron Eagle - I can't help but think the same thing.

We keep hearing from "EOM" that we're all "going to die soon". This has been going on for weeks. I think it is TOTAL bunk.

My take is that "EOM" is some mentally disturbed kid playing around on the Internet, or someone trying to put out disinformation. I also don't think that a "real" terrorist could be giving so much of their "secret plan" away without the jihadi bosses doing one thing or another (use your imagination!) to get him to be quiet. (The "real" 9/11 terrorists did not broadcast on message boards as far as I know, and were by and large fairly discrete).

The fact that we are all getting sooo bent out of shape over a few JPGs that some kid could have put together in Photoshop in 10 minutes and posts from someone on a board that doesn't even require registration (ANYONE can post as "EOM" there - go check it out - you could as well), is indicative of how stressed out the various threats have made people.

Someone wrote earlier that GWB is not getting himself all concerned over 'net posts on message boards. (Can you imagine the Daily Threat Briefing meeting, with Cheney saying "Mr. President..we need to go to Red. EOM is posting again!" - ROFLMAO!) We would all be wise to follow his lead on that, IMHO.

Furthermore, the US Alert level has dropped to Yellow. IF there were some "tremendous" threat to the US, where "many" of us were going to die horribly, I don't think they would've dropped it. In fact, I'd expect it to be at RED.

I know I for one have COMPLETELY quit reading the CN&Y board where "EOM" posts, cuz I have gotten quite tired of hearing how I'm going to die "soon" for weeks now. (Yawn). It would probably be a good thing (and something I'm sure everyone would probably appreciate) for us to not bother to repost his tripe here, where normally calmer heads and more logical thoughts prevail.

So, I guess my request comes down to this..I think we should all try to refrain from posting EOM'isms here if at all possible. We all know where to go read the trash directly if we want to be..um, "entertained". Me..I place ZERO credibility in it, and it only upsets me to continue to see it everywhere I look. I mean..what have we done to VERIFY that this person is a "real" terrorist? Nothing as far as I know.

I hope you're right, but I am convinced these guys have more ability than you give them credit for. Why was intel out sweeping for radiation and who knows what else on New Years?

Have you read this article in full?

Le Monde said the imam had admitted that he was aware of his son's chemical experiments, the products of which were stored in Nivea face cream jars and 70cl flasks and later given to a local chemist, identified only as Mourad M, for safekeeping. Several relatives had helped buy 9-10kg of ingredients.

As little as one drop of the botulism toxin released into a building's ventilation system can be fatal. Ricin is one of the deadliest poisons to occur naturally, many times deadlier than cyanide and capable of being given in food and drink without affecting the taste.

The police are investigating whether the Lyon discovery is related to the British anti-terrorism police's seizure of ricin in a flat above a chemist's shop in north London in January last year.

At the time Scotland Yard said it might have been part of an untraced wider shipment. Tiny traces were found in a left-luggage locker at the Gare de Lyon in Paris in March.

Last week's arrests appear to confirm fears expressed by the French intelligence service DST in a hitherto secret note dated November 2002, which referred to an "organised attempt by al-Qaida-linked radical Islamists to manufacture or acquire chemical and biological weapons to be used in attacks".

It said the men involved were mainly "veterans of Afghanistan with chemical and biological expertise who have recently returned from fighting Russian forces in Chechnya".

It devoted an entire chapter to the possible role of the extended Benchellali family.

The arrests also reinforce evidence that several active al-Qaida cells are operating in Europe.

Why are you attacking Freepers about this? This is information that was put out by the Monmouth County Prosecutor's office. And you twist it to look like we made it up?

And yes, there are cells here. Sheik Rahman's follows are all still here. Or are you saying the Sheik preached to an empty Mosque?

Where are all the suspects that bombed the WTC in '93? Or are we making up that it was bombed?

Oh, the sheik did it alone? Blind?

Do you know what mosque he preached from? Jersey City.

Or am I being creative?

re: 9551

EOM's 4 day trip.

Is this the "4" so talked about?

I asked Don to ask his Indonesian wife if the number 4 had special meaning.

His answer:

Mey says she is not aware of a number 4 in muslim life.

Re: 5552

Delayed attacks, is it possible that the attacks in Iraq count as coup?

We were hit in other area's between the World Trade Center attacks.

Re:554

About 1996 or 97, on shortwave radio, I listened to the instructions on how to make, keep, and transport Bio germs or as now known WMD and also how to take down the main electric lines.

It concerned me, that they put on a couple hours of "This is how they will do it", but it was full instructions and mostly with what you may have available already, if you are so inclined.

I didn't know who to report it to. and never found the station again. Don't have a radio that will pick up shortwave now.

Kinda forgot that I had heard it, until the power lines went down in 11 western states, caused by a tree branch.

Maybe it was innocent teaching, but the removed bolts from the power towers and tree branches make me wonder.

Stay alert,

Ruth

"Iran: Bam Earthquake Genocide"
MensNewsDaily.com ^ | Monday, January 12 | Dariush Shirazi


Posted on 01/12/2004 2:40:35 PM PST by persianfighter

COMMENTARY SNIPPET: "In the name of all who have suffered, died and currently endure in the struggle for freedom, now is the time to rise and be most vigilant. From Tehran, to Paris, to Los Angeles and back, let our voices be heard and let there be little mercy shown to the tyrants who have only known the path of death and destruction. Demand that your government answer the cries of the Iranian people immediately. Not by supporting the so-called "reformers" who are nothing more than a regime-sponsored facade, meant to create the perception of bipolarity and the existence of some option other than regime-change. Demand that the clerical regime hold a free-referendum so that the Iranian people may freely choose the fate of the butchers. The war on terror goes on and will never be won until such regimes are no more.

Victory is near!

Dariush Shirazi is a pseudonym of an Iranian-American university student and Los Angeles-based freelance journalist."
