Threats, that's what we are here for! I didn't see this posted here yet, and this is from Al-Qaeda Hunter at It's Happening. He posted a few different versions of this from various media:

Qaeda group warns US of 'unbearable hell' after Bush re-election

55 minutes ago


DUBAI (AFP) - A group linked to Osama bin Laden (news - web sites)'s Al-Qaeda network threatened the United States with reprisals after the re-election of President George W. Bush (news - web sites), warning of "unbearable hell," in a website statement.

"The coming days will show you that the one you preferred will lead you to an unbearable hell," said the group calling itself the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades after the Al-Qaeda military chief killed in Afghanistan (news - web sites) in October 2001.


It was not possible to immediately verify the statement. The same group claimed responsibility for the train bombings in Madrid in March this year that killed 191 people in Spain's worst attack and injured another 1,900.


"Although the criminal Bush has spilt blood of Muslims during the last four years and despite the butcheries that he committed and continues to perpetrate in Afghanistan, in Palestine and in Iraq (news - web sites), we see that... the applause of his people is increasing," it said.


"This shows the nature of the American people who approved the war against Islam led by criminal America," it added.


The statement comes after a video message from Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden -- broadcast just days ahead of the US election -- warned the United States of new attacks similar to those of September 11, 2001 that killed nearly 3,000 people and were claimed by the network.


In the first appearance of Bin Laden for over a year, the Al-Qaeda leader accused Bush of "misleading" the American people and of being negligent during the attacks, saying that the "reasons to repeat what happened" still remained.


Bush beat his rival Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) to win a second term in office in Tuesday's vote after a campaign where national security proved a dominant issue.


The new message from the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades said it was of no consequence which of the candidates won the election and appeared to threaten new attacks on the United States within the "next days".


"The re-election of the criminal Bush, who is no different from the other leaders of this country who have devoted their efforts to killing Muslims everywhere in the world, will not dissuade the mujahedeen from striking the head of the line of infidelity," it said.


"Bush and Kerry are two sides of the same coin. Both have a dark history that will never be erased. It is the American people who will take the consequences of the politics of its president over the next four years.


"The next days will show that your support of the criminal will not bring you security and will not prevent the muhajedeen from hurting you where you are. The next days will prove this."


In his first pre-election press conference Thursday after his resounding election victory, Bush vowed to "defeat the terrorists and to encourage freedom and democracy as alternatives to tyranny and terror."

I just saw a thread posted about the new American hell threat on the sidebar. I missed it earlier. It is about the same topic, but from a different newspaper, a foreign one.

RE: Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades

Al-Qaeda Hunter also offered this background on the Brigades from this link:

_________________________________

Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades

The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades were formed at some point after the death of Mohammed Atef, a relative by marriage of Osama Bin Laden and at one point the second in command of Al Qaeda. Mohammed Atef, who used Abu Hafs as an alias and was nicknamed al-Masri (meaning "the Egyptian" in reference to his country of birth), was killed by a US Hellfire missile fired from a Predator drone in Afghanistan on November 15th of 2001.

The Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades appears to be one of the more active offshoots of Al Qaeda. Most of their claims have proved to be unsubstantiated, such as the August 5th bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia, and the blackout on August 14th of 2003 that struck the north-eastern US. However, they have claimed responsibility for other actions that have not yet been disproven, such as the August 19th, 2003 bombing of UN Headquarters in Iraq and November 15th, 2003 suicide car bomberings of two synagogues in Istanbul, Turkey. They also received worldwide attention when they claimed responsibility for the March 11th train bombings in Madrid, Spain.
