purportedly the son of the poster, "Ayef", who is a moderator of that forum. It claims to have been written in Abha (SW Saudi Arabia), but I doubt one can just email London from that town.
Compare this slightly older one:

Same sender and same forum user. (The Faris Zahrani mentioned there was captured at Abha some time back; he was some sort of ideologue of AQAP.) Ayef has been mentioned by CentCom:
"
On 3 October, "Ayaf" posted a message to the Islamic Renewal Organization's forum in which he stated that "orders to destroy a nuclear reactor in the US " have been assigned to the al-Qa'ida division in the US , which is led by Abu Azzam al-Amriki. The message also included the geographic area of responsibility for the al-Qa'ida leadership. "Ayaf" stated that he came about this information via a conversation with "brother Abu-Jandal," who he said is "close to al-Qa'ida leadership." "Ayaf" signs all his postings to the forum as "Al-Zarqawi's aide," and includes his email addresses: "cade7722 at yahoo dot com and boda_8899 at hotmail dot com." The poster also included a photo of an individual in his signature. The individual sits before a background of Mecca . It is unclear whether this photo is of the author himself or someone else. Jihadist forum participants frequently include photos of "mujahidin martyrs" in their postings.

Suspect held in CTA bomb threat

A Chicago man who allegedly mailed a bomb threat to the Chicago Transit Authority in 2004 was arrested Thursday morning on the North Side, authorities said.

Tariq Ali, 28, of the 5100 block of North Sheridan Road, was arrested without incident by a joint terrorism task force, according to Robert Grant, special agent in charge of the FBI's Chicago office.

In April 2004, Ali sent a letter to the CTA threatening to injure himself and others with an explosive device, Grant said.(snip)
