RE # 2157

Good news indeed Vel. Thanks.

The British news channels are reporting that Yasser Arafat is critically ill and all the Palestinian cabinet has been called to his Ramallah compound. Sounds like he could croak.

Has anyone thought that he may have actually been assassinated? Wasn't there something recently about the next al-qaeda attack being preceded by a major political assassination?

Following is the 'meat' from a 17-page release warning purportedly released by AQ earlier this summer. As you can see, some very specific threats, some consistent language with today's vtape. Time frame for action has obviously been adjusted forward from this release.

Thought you might find it of some interest. The 'streets filled with blood' stuff is more consistent with chem/bio threat form, whereas currently anticipated threat forms seem to tend toward the nuclear spectrum.

An excuse and a warning:

To the European people. You have only few days left to accept the peace [sulh], otherwise you have only yourselves to blame.

To the Muslims living in the West, anyone among you who can immigrate to the lands of Muslims let him do so. Anyone who cannot do so, let him be on his guard by living in the Muslims' areas, have enough food for himself and his family for one month, have the means to defend himself and his family, leave in the house enough money for one month or more, and pray more and seek the help of Allah.

To the dialogue of cultures people: This is your day. Only a few days remain from Shaykh Usama's promise. The race is now between you, time, and the European countries that have refused to stop their attacks on Muslims. Do not blame us for what is going to happen. We apologize to you beforehand if you are to be among the dead.

Short messages:

To the Arab and non-Arab agents of Bush: Who will stop the coming waves of death. Let it be between us, America, and you and the Jews and will be saved.

To Kerry: You threaten us with war and this is our answer:

By Allah, we fight them a war that will make the child's hair turn gray before the old.

To Sharon: We are going to cut off America's rope that is giving you the strength and then destroy the Arabs protecting you. Then we will not find it difficult to slaughter you like sheep.

To Tenet: You will need more than five years to confront us, that is, if you had remained for five years.

To the US Senate: Sorry for disturbing you on 4-2-2004 [February 4, 2004], but we needed to test the (Ricin) on some persons. We will need to return to you, but this time not for testing.

To Bush: You who entered Iraq on a dark night like a rat out of fear of the mujahidin; your black days have not yet come. Remember when you shed tears in September. What is coming will make you shed blood, by the Grace of Allah.
