Al-Qaeda Ideologist Warns of "Unimaginable" Attack

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.

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.

"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."

THAT'S a great idea. Unfortunately, we feel compelled to play by the rules of the Geneva Convention; very few other countries labor under such constraints. Sad.

"Other dangers to maritime interests are also becoming apparent. In June, for example, an offshore maintenance engineer with deep-sea diving skills, who had been kidnapped in 2000, was released by Abu Sayyaf. He reported that his captors had wanted to learn how to dive, but were not interested in learning how to resurface."

I imagine the movement of B-52's and other aircraft back to Guam is related to some of this sort of activity. Still, it would probably take 2 - 3 hours for Guam based attack aircraft to reach the Singapore area. Of course, there are always things happening that aren't publicized and thank God and GWB for that. A/C from Diego Garcia could probably reach Singapore more quickly and they are already in place.

Remember that the Administration requested Hollywood think-tank to come up with all types of scenarios the terrorist could come up with. To keep the funding ongoing I;m sure the same with the scenarios...Institute for Creative Technologies http://www.ict.usc.edu/

I have to say that is NOT funny at all! But necessary to post to get this DAMN point across!

[Pro-Bush]

Thanks for the support....I think?

I'm frustrated that it could happen, that's all. There were plenty of SCUBA shops here in IL that were investigated. Somewhat of an outcry, too. I think every shop in the USA got a call from the FBI.

See, I'm so frustrated I double posted!

[Pro-Bush]

I am too! But at least I didn't double post. Ha-ha!

There has been a lot of talk since 9-11 about nuclear power plants and the one at Diablo Canyon specifically -- looks very accessible via the ocean. I hope they have orders to shoot on sight, if they see any boats approaching or any divers surfacing.

[FairOpinion]

Oh, yes -- divers!

It stands to reason -- they see that we have all that security on airplanes, but how do we monitor the ocean?

I downloaded three .ram files from a Jihadist website just a few days after parts of the latest 'obl tape' was played by Al-Jazeera. The three audio snippets totalled just over 46 minutes. Since I can't understand a bit of this gibberish it would be foolish for me to assume that this was the new OBL audio in its entirety. In the off chance that it is the new OBL audio then the complete message is out there on the net even though AJ didn't play all of it over the airwaves.
