Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread 5
CNN ^ | March 12, 2004

Posted on 03/12/2004 8:23:06 PM PST by thecabal

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- This week's deadly train bombings in Spain will not lead to a rise in the U.S. color-coded terror threat alert system, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman said Friday.

"Based on the current intelligence, we have no specific indicators that terrorist groups are considering such an attack in the U.S. in the near term," said department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse.

I haven't been reading all the AQ letters, as I should have.

Here is an article, which was just posted -- are they referring to Daleel's rants here? They have various quotes, that I vaguely remember as Daleel rants.

Al Qaida "Operative" U.S. Attack Is Imminent

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1097276/posts

"The warning read in part (sic), "Don't ever think that your ‘orange alert' system will help you, although you know very well that even ‘severe is less than the situation you are in.' Nothing will help you but delivering our demands and as soon as possible. Your arrogance and childish acts of dictatorship are leading you directly to the cave of darkness. We have not seen a single step that reflects any logic thinking of any sort, nor clear and wise decisions, and no fast actions. You're fooling yourself and the American people, making them believe that you can defend them, when you know very well that you're totally helpless."

In a portion of the letter addressed directly to President Bush, Almojahid allegedly wrote in part, "Are you really still wondering if we have weapons of mass destruction? Why are you lying to your people, Bush? Tell them what you know, we bet you to tell them what you and the administration know. Tell them ... ‘we have been losing all the wars with al Qaida since they ever started.' Tell them that al Qaida is simply unbeatable! Tell them that they have won the war before it has even started! You are leading your nations into total destruction, and time is slipping away from under our hands."

The alleged demands made in the letter from the same individual included a demand that the United States cease "invading" Islamic lands anywhere in the world and return all "stolen" Muslim money, "in gold not in any kind of money note."

Other demands read (sic), "The returning of the old borders known to you and we press on the northern borders, the release of all our prisoners in your jails whom you know and we know only. The dismantle of the so called (United Nations and its council) in an international decision."


===

IN the one thing about dismantling of the UN, I'd be happy to oblige. Apparently they still don't get it - the UN is the toothless tiger, it's the US who is relentlessly hunting them down -- and we will hunt them down to the last man. Hi, Daleel!

Again, it may just be that I am looking for them now. Yet, it worries me a bit that I see so many more of them in recent years.

No its not you or that you are looking for them. It started to puzzle me a couple of years ago. I thought what the haitis is going on here with this influx of all these people. I wondered where were they coming from and why. The airports also have/had many of them checking baggage. Go figure.

I have to laugh about it, because it is just too dam late to cry.

This isn't a humorous thread....but that was funny!!!

I can't help but make fun of a tyrant whose orders cause such pain and misery to so many innocent people. What I personally wish for OBL is not funny at all, so I do take the liberty of making light of him.

Tape Claims al-Qaida Tied to Spain Blasts
28 minutes ago

By JOHN LEICESTER, Associated Press Writer

MADRID, Spain - In a videotaped message, a man purporting to represent al-Qaida claims the terrorist network was behind bombings that killed 200 and wounded 1,500 in Madrid, the Spanish interior minister said early Sunday.

Here is a translation (via Ajeeb/Tarjim) of the latest GIM message #362:

From:

" Global Islamic Media" < globalislamicmedia@yahoogroups.com>  

Date:

Sat, 13 Mar 2004 23:48:29 +0000

Subject:

[GIM] The Al-Qaeda And a wrestling The bulls

Top of Form

Bottom of Form

 

 

 

The In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

 

 

 

 

The Al-Qaeda and the bullfight

 

 

 

 

The praise of Allah the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds, and the consequence of the pious, and no aggression except on the oppressors, and the prayer and the greeting on the envoy mercy of the worlds and on its family and its friends as a wholes .

 

As for after, then there the Spanish dead, and the Al-Qaeda fights the bulls .

And there she is a new hitting the papers are mixed, and she strains the atmospheres .

A hitting scattered the international efforts, and took away the American dreams .

Then America returned to the first square, and the zero point !! .

A hitting proved with clearness that the Americans live in illusions and shadows !! .

The victory illusions on the fighting, and the power imaginations that be not defeated !! .

She sees if he was assumed a polemic that America is by its scepter and its vanity the Al-Qaeda place, and she received from the hitting and the pursuing one and the international narrowing what the Al-Qaeda received, will she resist ? !! .

I assert by sacred oaths that it will be a trace after ayn, and a thing quite forgotten, and a memory from the history is !!.

And who was in a doubt from that, then it should meditates and its mind does not see them to the misleading media that makes from the imposture really, and from the ugliness Hsna, and from the defeat a support .

Days and months and years have passed on America advertisement of the war on the rule, and the genocide of the militants, and she observed for that the billions, and exploited all of the capabilities .

Political efforts, and the other technology for the sake of the finding of the militants prince Mullah Omar, and the Al-Qaeda leader Ibn Ladn, and the second man is Ayman Zawahiri .

And she managed by the stick and the carrot the gathering of all international and international efforts for the sake of she helped it with the achievement of those declared targets .

Then she was hit and she was destroyed !! .

And she was torn and exterminated !! .

And she was detained and she was imprisoned !! .

And she confiscated and she was closed !! .

And what after, and what she is the outcome, then the lesson by the calendars ¿ !! .

Did she win the support and the enabling ¿

Did she realize its targets as bet ¿

Did she spread the security in the world as she was deluded ¿

Did she apply to the Iraqis the boast and the consolation as promised ¿

The staring truth for the sight is that the winds run by what do not desire the ships !! .

And the Americans were involved in swamps in Afghanistan and Iraq, and became as the one(s) who butts in the rocks then he bleeds its head .

And the media is the quack an Alshioslibi and the rooms he took from the falsehood an income, then he exploited all its energies for the service of the targets of the imperialist Americans, then the mobs were deluded with the support and the enabling and with the approach of the clear conquest !!.

But as says : the lying is an incurable illness, and the oppression is the support headband .

And the Al-Qaeda that fought to for many years I assign the land powers a Ü and she is Soviet Union a Ü, and Aplite in that an affliction Hsna she knows from where the shoulder is eaten, and how the war with the giants is managed, then she imagined saying the poet :

The war he interpreted what she is youthful that move by its ornament to all an ignorant

Until if she burned and a Dramha erupted that became an oldster not with a spouseö

Then the support will be with the patience at the first shock and with the absorption of the first hitting .

And this what was, then the Al-Qaeda managed the absorption of the first hitting when the Americans poured the all of their anger on Afghanistan and Tora Bora mountains, then the losses were as declared by Ibn Ladn himself Ü Ü that does not exceed 2 % only !!!.

And the Al-Qaeda gathered its powers, and quickly what cured its wounds, and she was cured and she was cured, and she undertook certain resolution so that she tames the infatuated hyenas, and the furious bulls .

And America threatened and all who stands by its side by the hell and the ruin .

Then fools hit rulers of small Britain, and Italy the shoe, and the flunky Australia, and Spain the bulls and the Al-Qaeda feast by the wall middle, and their silent language then they were arrogant in the land without the right and said who the severest from us a power he gave a banquet that see that Allah who created them is the severest from them a power and were by our signs denying ( she prayed : 15 ) .

Then they stuffed souls while do not concern them, and they intruded their country into a war no she-camel of them in it and no camel .

Then the Al-Qaeda declared that beginner and more unfair, and these countries should waits for the suitable punishment .

Then the Al-Qaeda slapped Birlscony by the shoe in El Nasra City, then she reaped tens of the Italian soldiers .

And the nails of small Britain trimmed in Turkey with the harvest of tens of British, and on their head the consul general in an Istanbol .

Then the turn came on the furious bull an Isnar, then the Al-Qaeda stayed in its arena, and he clarified its mobs and its gathering the wrestling arts knew it with the harvest of hundreds, until blames himself on what passed .

Then he made its abdomen a drum, and its nape a stable . And the Spanish dead started .

 


From behind Madrid explosions ¿

 


Be considered these explosions are the more a bloodthirstiness in Spain and Western Europe since Lockerbie accident in Asktlnda and who resulted in the killing of 270 persons in year 1988 . Ten charges have exploded in four trains in three stations in Madrid and its suburbs . And the explosions fell in the morning rush hour where thousands of employees are used the trains for the heading for their works which led to the rise of the number of victims .

And the analysts have differed Ýí ãä that stands behind these bloody explosions that and resulted in the killing of 198 at least, and the wound of about 1400 other .

Then the government Spanish in the first instant an organization ( ETA ) accused the separatist Marxist in Basque region with the responsibility with the explosions .

And the Foreign Minister confirmed a Spanish now a Blathew today is that all of the indications point to the responsibility of ETA about the attack .

And she was written leaflets by my language Basque and Kastil distributed last Wednesday in the streets of Sisbastyan San in Basque region caller for hitting the Spanish targets and the boycott of the railways before 14 Marchs / the current March the date of the legislative elections .

But ETA organization insisted on the denial of its involvement in the attacks, and the organization founder said that entitled Des Madariagha : it is not from the movement natures that she attacks the regions of the overcrowded working class . Also the prohibited Batasuna Party in Basque region denied the responsibility of the movement - that is described that it is its political suite - about Madrid explosions .

And with the discovery of the booby-trapped car that found by it one of the koranic bands, and issuing a statement from the Al-Qaeda she adopts in it the operation, started the analysts doubts becoming strong by that the rule she behind this big attack .

And by this the Tndaf of Madrid battle for rest of the battles .

But despite all this it the Spanish government insists on an accusation ( ETA ) with the attack, then why ¿

Then the truth it does not enable one of the pieces by who behind this attack, then all of the probabilities are raised .

Then the Al-Qaeda threatened the Spanish bull with its wrestling for its land .

And the hitting type and what resulted from it from big losses he matches with the Al-Qaeda tactics .

And also ETA threatened with the fight of the Spanish .

And the attack type matches ETA style in the explosions .

And in an investigation he has been declared with by that the explosives kind used in the attack, he from the self quality that ETA uses in the attack .

Then she sees do behind the attack the Al-Qaeda or ETA ¿ !! .

Then ETA denies, and that because of the negative reactions on the attack, then she feared the political responsibilities, therefore dozens booby-trapped car and put in it some of the proofs that prove its innocence .

But hopefully it is right in its denial, then not happens before for it that she carried out attack that put in it losses by this size and no its one tenth .

As that it with a leftist heading do not target in its operations the middle class, and she concentrates always on the vital interests to the Spanish country .

And in the return she has adopted the practical rule quickly, and this is not from its habit .

, hopefully it adopts the operation as a matter of the maneuver, and the defeat of the Americans media and psychological, and the affirmation along its hand, and that it is present on the arena .

But noon for me another probability its exclusion does not become possible, and he : that the operation is common between the base and ETA .

Then the Al-Qaeda the operation is financed and plans to it and adopts it .

And ETA executes only with saving the explosives and its booby-trapping !! .

But how do to two opposite trends they can co-operate in a big and dangerous on this level operation ? ! .

And how to a Muslim that he seeks help from a polytheist besides an atheist in the fight ¿ ! .

He can answer on that : that the military coordination between the militants and the unbelievers is possible a Sharia, then this out of the purchase of weapon and equipment from the unbelievers .

And as for the forbidden about it, then he be that the unbeliever shares with the Muslim in a direct fight, then he joins their lines, and he fights between their hands, then the angels fight with the fighting, and the mercy of Allah and its tranquility she descends upon them, and the presence of the polytheist between them may hide that from them .

Anyway the probability is possible, and the diligence in the issue of it is its face a Ü and Allah is the more knowledgeable by the matters truths a Ü .

 


What is the secret behind the insistence of the Spanish government on burdening an ETA the responsibility ¿

 


Undoubtedly that each government tries the benefiting from any he happened, and the achievement of any political gains from behind it, and the avoidance of its negative responsibilities .

And this explosion if he attributed to the Al-Qaeda, then he will realize negative results on the Spanish government º because most of Spanish nation was opposing the entrance of Spain into the war of Iraq, and the alliance with the Americans while is named the war against the terrorism, and was fearing the consequences .

Then when the confrontations move on its land, then a first who blames is the government that brought the Spanish nation by its fool politics to a war she in a sufficiency from it .

But if she made relational the responsibility of the attack to ETA organization, then that will return by political gains to the Spanish government .

Then she will exploit this event in the elections that therefore he saved quickly what called on the Spanish nation for the demonstration protesting against the attack .

As that it will gather the international and regional public opinion against its bitterest opponents ( ETA organization ) .

 


Did the Al-Qaeda be right about the doing of this operation or its adoption ¿

 


All of us he knows that the Americans and the allies declared the sacred war on the rule and the militants, and each of the parties use all what in its quiver from papers for the sake of the gain of the battle .

Then America and who with it from the allies considered legal the innocent blood in Afghanistan and Iraq under the slogan of the confrontation of the terrorism and in the return the militants considered legal the civilians blood in America and the alliance countries as a matter of the vexation of the enemy by what he incites to a strategic repetition the confrontation .

And she is the militants politics self in Palestine with the Zionists .

They have said to the Zionists : they brought the Palestinian civilians out of the struggle and the confrontation, bring the Zionists civilians out of the struggle .

And so the militants say to the Americans : you protect the innocent blood in Afghanistan and Iraq, protect Mdniikm blood, and to the war between the weapon holders is from the two parties and according to !!.

Anyway as we said in the past that do not know a truth from behind this work, and if it was proved that it is the Al-Qaeda, then undoubtedly he not was for it that she carries out that so and she sure that that is in its interest, and she is an Al Akhbr with the way of the intensity of war administration with the enemy .

We ask Allah he was above that he supports the militants everywhere, and he aims their throw, fixes their feet, and that he guides them what in it the wealth to the nation .

 

He wrote it \ Abu Mus'ab

Thanks FO. I believe the USA has its teeth in old Daleel's derierre. He is plainly running scared and trying to use the old "puff up and look bigger than the enemy" approach. A bluff is a bluff is a bluff. Funny Daleel never commented about the attempts over the holidays that we caught before AQ could implement them. He posts no messages about the dwindling numbers of his accomplices. In fact, he said he's not going to post anymore (tantrum). We will be strong, we will be unified and we will not be defeated. Whatever President Bush knows, we don't need to know. He and our military will trounce them like the insects they are. We know that AQ doesn't care what color our alerts are - the only color they know is the red of blood. If they sting us, I'm confident we will swat them into oblivion.

Mystery Disease Fells Hundreds of Wyoming Elk


Since a coyote hunter found 2 paralyzed elk near here [Rawlings, Wyoming]
on 8 Feb 2004, close to 300 elk have been felled by a mysterious illness
that no one can identify.

Wildlife officers have euthanized about 200 of those animals after finding
them starving, dehydrated and unable to move. They took 4 into captivity to
try to nurse them to health and learn more about their illness. [Only one
of the four is still alive.]

"I've never seen anything like this, never even heard of a large die-off in
elk in this extreme," said Joe Nemick, a wildlife management coordinator
who has been with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department for 37 years. "Elk
are generally pretty hardy animals."

Experts here are looking into a range of potential causes. Did the elk
ingest a poison? Did they experience stress from being chased?

About 800 elk typically spend the winter in this region, along the southern
edge of the Red Desert and west of the Continental Divide, about 150 miles
west of Cheyenne. So do wild horses, antelope, deer and some grazing
cattle. No other animals appear to be afflicted, including hundreds of elk
nearby. An estimated 100,000 elk live throughout Wyoming.

After weeks of studying the elk, wildlife biologists and veterinarians have
compiled a list of what did not make the animals sick, and a shorter list
of remaining possibilities.

"This may turn out not to be a single problem, and there may be several
elements involved," said Dr. Walt Cook, a wildlife veterinarian for the
Game and Fish Department. "We may never be able to point to a single cause
for why this happened."

Dr. Cook and other biologists have ruled out chronic wasting disease,
brucellosis and other bacterial and viral diseases; poisoning by a toxic
metal, by toxins in drinking water or from coal-bed methane gas drilling;
salt poisoning; calcium or magnesium deficiency; and parasites.

The research is now focused on the possibility that drought conditions in
recent years produced a toxin in a plant, on a plant or in the soil.
Another theory is that a stress caused the elk to overexert themselves.

"The focus now is on something naturally occurring," said Tom Reed, a
spokesman for the Game and Fish Department. "We feel kind of powerless.
What's going to happen next year if a herd moves in there?"

A puzzling sign is the muscle lesions on the animals' hind legs. They could
indicate a long chase, though there have been no tracks to support that. Or
the lesions could be a result of paralysis, rather than a cause.

"I've seen stuff like this before, but this is the first time in elk,"
said Dr. Merl Raisbeck, a toxicology professor at the University of Wyoming
who is working on the cases. "It's a mystery, all right, and I'd like to
know what the heck it is."

Ongoing Rebellion in Fereydunkenar! MOST RECENT PHOTOS FROM UPRISING:

The demonstrations began some hours ago. Fereydunkenar is a small town in the northern province of Mazandaran. The people attacked and were able to liberate a building used by the Islamic Republic's security forces (Sentry Post #2). They then started moving to the city of Babolsar, but were soon confronted by Mazandaran's provincial security forces. They've been pushed back into Fereydunkenar and the latest news I've heard is that the small town is now divided between the rebels and the security forces and the scene of fierce street battles.

At least 5 people have been killed and scores injured.

NOTE, THIS UPRISING IS STILL CONTINUING.
