MIDDLE EAST: Louis Attyiat-Allah, an self-proclaimed Al-Qaeda ideologist, has warned that a massive Al-Qaeda attack was pending and criticized Middle East television channel Al-Jazeera for not airing all of a recent speech by Usama bin Laden.
In the recent issue of the Al-Qaeda biweekly magazine "Sawt al-Jihad", Attyiat-Allah said a possible future attack on the same scale as 9-11 was coming.He described it as innovative and would come at a time completely unexpected.
Attyiat-Allah said western analysts would be unable to predict when the attack could occur, because it would be "unimaginable in the normal way."
"It will be bigger, in the sense that the loss from which America and the Western World will suffer, because it will be very big and immeasurable...due to its greatness, it will change the global power balance," he said.
Despite making these warnings, Attyiat-Allah did not say what his sources were. The comments have not been authenticated by U.S. or allied intelligence sources, though more than one analyst told EmergencyNet News that "the threat seems to be in keeping with previous Al-Qaeda doctrine." Many U.S. government intelligence analysts believe that "Sawt al-Jihad" and other alleged Al-Qaeda associated websites and mailing lists largely consist of "misdirection and misinformation."
Also in the magazine article, Attyiat-Allah said he was upset that television station Al-Jazeera did not air a recent interview by Usama bin Laden in its entirety.
I felt angry at al-Jazeera channel for cutting the speech from over 40 minutes to 14 minutes only, because it is very clear that this is one of the most important speeches of the Sheikh," Attyiat-Allah complained.
"It is clear that this is a detailed, political speech, and that the Sheikh read it from a paper which was prepared beforehand... in my personal opinion, this speech, in its essence, is a speech [about the] future," he added.

This fellow Louis Attyiat-Allah needs to spend some serious time with some Bulgarian or Pakistani interrogators until he has put EVERYTHING he knows to music. But the bald fact is that UBL has been dead for two years now and, while this guy's Aunt Milly could do outrageous damage to the American people and American property, we have been kicking Al Qaeda ass all over the world for a couple of years now. Sure, they still have some players but they can't in any way be compared to what they once had been. F* Louis Attyiat-Allah!

I am so sick of hearing the threats from these cowards who have hide in caves and holes, while they plot ways to kill thousands of innocent civilians.
We can only pray that Bush is reelected so we can continue hunting down these snakes for 4 more years.

So, Bush knows everything ahead of time eh? Well, then why did 3000 people die on september 11 Psst, hey genius, I think that's the point. The leading idiots from the left have been charging that Bush knew all along that September 11th was going to happen--down to the day and hour--but didn't do anything to prevent it.

How is duct tape gonna work. Didnt you hear, tin foil doesnt work because it really is made out of aluminum foil (part of the zionist disinformation campaign) but duct tape is silver because of the tin woven in the fabric and offers some protection against the microwaves. (sorry I couldnt resist)!!

What prancing ninnies. What gasbags. Will they clean their noses in our direction? Will they taunt us a second time if we don't submit? Earth to raghead nutjobs - we aren't scared of you. You couldn't make an omelette without western instructions. You've never met a real soldier you wouldn't give both hands to for the plastic twistie tie. All you can do it splash your innards over women and children. It is all said innards are good for.
