Al-Qaeda Ideologist Warns of "Unimaginable" Attack
Emergency Net ^ | Jan. 25, 2004 | ENN

Posted on 01/25/2004 7:51:53 PM PST by FairOpinion

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.

IMO, this is a load of cr*p.

First of all, this character should be tortured until he talks. Secondly, I would display digits from Saddam himself for every American soldier that is killed henceforth. Then his ears, arms and legs.

As President Bush stated, "War is what they declared and war is what they got".

They would all get the bends. It would require a lot of time underwater to sabotage a harbor or a vessel.

IIRC, the bends only happen when one surfaces, something to do with nitrogen instead of oxygen in the blood??? All of which isn't a worry with suicide types.

Read on FR some time ago about a diving teacher who had middle eastern types want to learn about diving but didn't need to learn about the coming up part, kind of like the pilot who didn't need the landing part.

You should have stopped while you were behind.

The minute you said "Clark in 04", we knew that we weren't simply dealing with a troll, we were dealing with an ass clown troll. As in....

Now, the first thing I should ask you is whether or not you actually realize that General Ripper went as mad as the March Hare and sent the entire wing off to attack the Soviets!

Sorry, any American liberal who latches on to the Barracks Emperor simply because he's worn olive drab is not to be taken seriously. Now, if you were a Kerry supporter, I might take you seriously. But since you're for Clark, I will hold you in simple contempt, and slight regard.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

He had his 10 minutes of fame, promoting Communism and Clark at the same time.

Gee. I didn't know that Michael Moore was enough of a masochist as to come onto FR...

I'm pretty sure that the registration system records the GMT time/date and that is why so often the newbies appear with dates one day ahead.

AP--quick, get the tape and wrap it around your entire body, it might protect you from the amazing ZOT! However I'm doubtful, APs even smarter than you have suddenly gone missing. I'm so sorry.

We can only pray that Bush is reelected so we can continue hunting down these snakes for 4 more years.

Bump Jorge!

I've been reading your comments since you've joined. I think it's irresponsible, or at least puzzling, to say we provoked "the religion of peace", as well as more than once mentioning the "lily whites" who hire illegals.

But all the same, welcome to Free Republic.
