A London-based Arab magazine said on Friday that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has vowed to launch a back-breaking attack on the US by February, confirming an earlier message by the militant network. The weekly al-Majalla said it received an e-mail from Abu Mohammed al-Ablaj, a little known Al Qaeda member, saying bin Laden would release a video tape in which he affirms his groups determination to fight the US.
A messenger of bin Laden informed him (Ablaj) that the Al Qaeda leader will appear on a televised tape after the execution of an operation which bin Laden described as back-breaking and which would change the order of things, al-Majalla said in a report in its latest edition.
They (Americans) should prepare...their coffins, hospitals and graves. The coming days will be full of surprises and great events which will make them a historic example, the magazine quoted Ablaj as saying. The report came after US officials ordered their colour-coded alert system raised to orange, the second highest level, citing possible year-end attacks.

Maybe one of the benefits of conversion is you get advance warning of Sept. 11-type strikes.

Did you know converts weren't equal to Arab Muslims? I once heard some Islamic extremist on TV refer to certain Muslims as "low Muslims". I believe in his estimation these Muslims weren't committed enough to jihad and martyrdom. So I sort of knew there was a pecking order in how they thought about one another but I don't know any more particulars than that.

You think they care if a muslim living in America is killed?I don't.Telling them to get out of LA,New York,etc is a scare tactic aimed at all of us.

Could be a poor graphic for the Pentagon. Didn't think of that. You are correct sir.
That's an observation worthy of a Panatella. (cigar)

I don't think flights from Paris to L.A. pass over the East Coast of the U.S. I think they take a polar route.

They actually go up as far as Greenland then drop into Canada by Labrador, and travel thru Canada as far as Minnesota then down towards LA from there.

It's a modified polar route that is not a great circle route. It does bypass the East Coast mostly as they generally pass over Iceland, Greenland, and then down over Canada entering the U.S. west of Chicago. My point was that depending on the target they want to hit, international non-stop flights from Europe to the West Coast will arrive at the U.S. border with enough fuel left to create a lot of damage -- one should not simply discount the damage they can do as was the case with Tall_Texan's
original post.
