Al-Qaeda issues fresh threat

December 26, 2003 - 8:05AM

Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden will issue the next of his video messages after a massive attack on US territory, Saudi weekly Al-Majallah quotes an official of the terror network as saying, in its next edition.

Quoting an e-mail received from a man who goes by the name of Abu Mohammed al-Ablaj, the weekly reports that "an emissary of bin Laden has informed me that the al-Qaeda chief's (next) appearance (on video cassette) will come after a deadly, far-reaching operation on American territory.

"In the video, bin Laden will evoke the success of his backers in once again striking the United States to the core and America's failure (in its anti-terrorist campaign) both outside and inside the country," the al-Qaeda official was reported as saying in the e-mail.

"Bin Laden will also reaffirm al-Qaeda's determination to continue its war against America, until its defeat," said the message from Ablaj, who last February announced to the Saudi weekly that bin Laden would release a video statement after the US-led war in Iraq.

The most recent message alleged to be from bin Laden was an audiotape broadcast last week by Dubai-based Al-Arabiya satellite channel, but its Qatar-based rival Al-Jazeera said the tape was the same one it had aired more extensively on October 18.

Both Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya, the leading Arab news channels, have been accused by US officials of inciting violence by airing such tapes of al-Qaeda leaders as well as those of deposed Iraqi president Saddam Hussein before he was captured by US forces on December 13. They have denied the charge.

A day before the alleged bin Laden tape was aired, Al-Jazeera broadcast a tape purported to be from bin Laden's right-hand man Ayman al-Zawahiri, in which he said the Americans were beginning to stagger under the blows of al-Qaeda.

A US intelligence official said in Washington that CIA analysts had concluded that the Zawahiri tape was "most likely" authentic.

The report in the Saudi weekly came as Americans celebrated a nervous Christmas under heightened terrorist alerts and tight security nationwide.

Make sure you highlight the black area below and you'll se the white text....seems this dude has been posting just about every day....Many of the news stations spoke of him being part of the increased chatter. I'm going to read his previous posts....lol what the hell

Illiterate, delusional rantings on a Yahoo group are considered "chatter" that our putative intelligence takes seriously?! WTF?! Then again, they would probably get a real eyeful from the DUmpster...

[Arpege92]

What does this animal think is going to happen to him and his fellow animals should they attack us with weapons like this? His home will probably go BOOM and that's the end of that!!!!

Well, just among the so-called palis, we have former "Prime Minister" Abu Mazen, current "Prime Minister" Abu Ala and the old fart himself, who also goes by the nom de islamofascist terrorism Abu Amr.

And then there's our Secretary of State, Abu Powell...

[At _War_With_Liberals]

Yeah... And my friends and me are going to bomb AQ tonight.

[dirtbiker]

You're right about the chatter in the DUmpster website, some of the things they say in there rival and even surpass the rantings of al-qaeda: false and delusional.

BTW, I like your tagline. Reminds me of something I read in Mad Magizine some years back. "Kaddifi couldn't pass the test to become a full general, even though he gave the test to himself, WITH PERMISSION TO CHEAT!"

Go to the tread titled "Mojahideen News directly from Afghanistan." It appears they are killing dozens of Americans everyday.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE....O.K. back to football, I'll be sure to duct tape my t.v....priorities, priorities

I have friends dying with cancer , the thought of dying a slow lingering death and at the end being so deteriorated they have to shut the box and put my picture beside it frightens me a lot more than going in a nuclear blast.

WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE....

Very true, however, I don't plan on cashing in for about another 40-50 years......

Hey, gang..is anyone else puzzled by the huge disconnect re: threats of "end of life as we know it" and the relatively "small" and apparently foiled plots of crashing airplanes into US targets (again..sigh..so unimaginative!)

We keep hearing how there is going to be this "massive" attack that will wipe out the US (OK..maybe it's just rantings from kids on Yahoo boards), and there are all of these letters from "alleged" AQ floating around saying things like "we are facing the most important time in all of history", blah, blah, blah.

Yet, the attacks we see being foiled are the "garden vanilla" variety..hijack a plane..ram it into something. Yawn.

IF AQ had Nukes, Chem or Bio, you sure would think they would've used them by now, and wouldn't be resorting to the "low tech" approach.

On the other hand, something feels VERY different about this "Orange Plus" alert we are apparently at. It has an ominous feel to it..kind of like something truly huge is about to happen. Yet, they are going after airplanes again. Bizarre!

Any comments? Wondering what you guys all think..

[mindspy]

It's not about our individual deaths. It is about the death our children's dreams. We have been hardworking people for generations. Each generation worked hard to make it better for the next. Now these cavemen are trying to ruin the dream for our children. We are not people that are scared of death, we are people that love life and want that love and American spirit to carry on in each new generation.

I found the Atkins ad on that page more compelling than the silly rantings of a delusional wannabe jihadi martyr.

[dirtbiker]

I agree with you, if these nimrods had nukes, etc., they would have used them by now, either on our troops in Afganistan or in some Western European country where Islamofasist roam freely. They may take a chance to attack a "soft" target somewhere in the Midwest, but they would have to have been in place for a very long time.........country folk are suspicious of "feriners", and they are heavily armed!

[IAmNotAnAnimal]

Sorry, should have put the sarcasm note on the We're All Gonna Die bit.

All I can do is follow my tagline where it leads to ensure that my son can someday see what a cockpit looks like becuase it's cool

[ZAKJAN]

"His home will probably go BOOM and that's the end of that!!!!"

lol

Oh, I figured you were being sarcastic. I just used your post as an opener for my post. If any of this cavedwellers are reading our posts I wanted them to know we are not quivering in our boots about dying but rather discussing ways to stick our boots up their arses because we enjoy our way of life and will continue to do so.
