According to the Northeast Intelligence Network, after reviewing hundreds of jihad posts, it would appear that al Qaeda is behind the blackouts worldwide, either via the internet or physical sabotage of strategic power substation locations. This is the preamble for bigger events to come worldwide. Posts from hidden, members only Jihad message boards include schematic drawings of and detailed explanations of the transportation infrastructure within the United States, which are obviously behind the threats we have been seeing within the last few months pertaining to the subway systems. Additionally, the major power outages are a means to have attention distracted for other terrorist events to start building, for instance, known terrorists and al Qaeda operatives crossing into the US during the East Coast power outage.
Below is an example of an al Qaeda statement that appears to address many areas, including those referenced above:
al Qaeda Statement issued Friday 17 second Gamada 1424 - 15 August 2003
We have hit the utilities of the Americans and we will strike additionally...
1- No one in America is safe until the conditions in our previous statements are met.
2- We will instill terror into their hearts, as they do with the Muslims .
3-The electricity was taken down for about fifty million in America and Canadia which caused abstract and concrete losses. The American people should taste the self torture.
4- The hitting of the main stronghold to the American economy ( the international stock exchange ) .
5- We will deliver a message to the United Nations who sides against Islam that will take it from New York City - a headquarters for them.
6- We will deliver a striking message (blow) to all of the investors striking a death blow to investors and the economy.
7- The stop of one seventh main airports completed- and this is a kind to the airlines .
8- The breakdown of ninth atomic reactors completed and this was not happen from before and considers a strong economic hit, where the nine reactors are present in New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Michigan .
9- The breakdown of the transportations : trains and cars and lorries ....And so on the one which causes grave losses .
10- The breakdown of the Internet and interdependent commercial systems for commercial transactions .
11- The breakdown of the international banks headquartered in New York.
12- And the huge losses to major American businesses.
13- The losses due the spreading our and stress to police and security .
14- The economists confirmed that the blackout will cost the American economy at least ten billion dollars . Die you with your rage !!
15- The deterioration of the American dollar in front of the other currencies.
About the blackout- we say to the Muslims this was not the expected hit but just one in a war to weaken the Americans. We will continue to exhaust the enemy on their own soil until her destruction is easy .
And we profess to the people of Afghanistan and Kashmir who are presently fighting that the sheikh Osama bin Laden is on his way to the White House. al-Aqsa is present, but the time and place is ?? Wait until the response is clear!
(and then the believers rejoice over the support of Allah - Allah is the greatest Allah and bigger ........ And the Islam is coming ..... With noble glory or submissive sacrifice .....
Another comment referring to the blackout being a diversion:
In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful and the praise of Allah the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds and Allah blessed his noble Messenger
The news came to me confidentially a short time ago and I was requested not to disseminate it until [XXXX] is settled with his allied brothers in America
The news is [XXXX] helped by the father [XXXX] traveled to Frankfurt, then to Montreal Canada on a forged passport from Saudi Arabia in Riyadh by bribing a thief there... and he has met the sleeper cells within Canada and timed the entry of the Al-Qaeda operatives into America to coincide with the electric power shutdown there. Importance of not drawing attention to the pending attacks against America -those who entered America will are preparing for the next attack and will remain inactive until given the specific orders so at zero hour, no plans have been compromised so that the execution of these missions can be completed.
And I beg for you my brothers to keep quiet and still until the time to act and the word is given. Cause no harm to the operation. I You will be pleased by the actions of your brothers in America in the coming weeks.
And Allah keeps our fighting everywhere we are capable everywhere - by our oaths we will kill and assinate.
Your brother is in Allah
Analysts have found a significant number of posts, intercepted chats, and other data that indicates that an attack is being prepared against the US, promising to equal or eclipse the events of 9/11 and possibly involve the use of weapons of mass destruction. Although we cannot provide all of the intercepts we have found, we offer a sampling below.
An increase in instructional Internet postings to operatives on methods to build explosive devices and detonators for use in the attacks against America.
Instructions on how to fill medicine capsules with highly flammable and explosive material and carry them onto airplanes have also been found.
Through 15 September 2003, analysts have found numerous references to specific words and phrases that are known to relate to nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Additionally, we have found numerous forum posts and chat intercepts catalogued that suggest "Ramadan might not be the same this year" as in years past, and numerous Muslim clerics have given specific warning to all Muslims to "prepare for the decrease in resources, especially water..." Also found are phrases referencing a day when "the sky comes with a clear smoke. " Redacted for security and brevity, we have found the following to substantiate the possibility that plans are being made for a large scale attack to take place within the continental United States.
The In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
Peace be upon you and may Allah give you his blessings .... To the brothers and the lovers in Allah ....
I will quickly tell you in the interest of time...from the present perspective to the contemporary located inside the sanctuaries land the observer is what follows: We do not know if Ramadan will be the same this year
1. What have you done to prepare for you and your family?
2. How will you deal with the others seeking protection who are not prepared - (the throngs that will exist under the coming events ) .
3. With the coming event, how will you deal with the decrease of resources, especially water?
4. Under the events how will you determine who is a friend or who is against you? Do you all have a code message ti use to be sure?
5. Did you define your enemy and the intended targets ?
And there many points .... This becomes necessary O my brothers in Allah that we concentrate on our subjects and our partnerships on the matters that concern how we will deal with the coming events. ...And by Allah the guidance
28 August 2003: Captured Text- "A Signing" About the Coming Hit to the US (This is actually "discussion" in a hidden jihad forum between two individuals concerning an attack on the US. Read the text carefully to extract the full meaning):
The In the name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
If we hit them m with a great hit ... will it collapse and stop their campaign against the Arab and Islamic Countries and the support of Israel?
Will they carry out the answer of a criminal action with the use of weapons (WMD) and atomic bombs against the one(s) who blew and tramped from the Muslims .. And regardless of the governments attitude the customer for them ....
We hope that we hear your opinions
REPLY
A glory be to oh Allah ! and with your praise I testify to no God except Allah
If there is a hit coming to America .... And this expected .... Then it will be an overwhelming hit ... A massively destructive hit...
Then the necklace will disperse on America then she will become busy by her state and will retreat from Iraq and Afghanistan.
God knows best
REPLY
No the doubt that Allah is capable of the complete destruction of America from the face of the earth in less than twinkling of an eye.
And through the consideration of the cosmic ways we see that your expectation is difficult but not impossible.
Then how can the besieged al-Qaeda men everywhere - with their modest abilities ( until the great events of that September day) that they can remove a continent by a single hit ?
Our religion orders us the meditation and the mind works what he does not oppose a definitive matter from the Sharia. Then I employ your mind and thought about what she wrote and will see that you exaggerated a lot .
And Allah keeps you
REPLY
A brother ...Allah rewarded you economically
Do you deny that the al Qaeda network has placed nuclear weapons in America ..the Russian republics nuclear weapons? A number have disappeared and there is awareness that they are in cases and we have seen some of their pictures!
There are Muslims who now work in nuclear sensitive places or arsenals... with the computer systems they can carry out the sabotage of the systems in the atomic reactors.
Also it was declared that the al Qaeda network was responsible for the interruption of the electricity in America
and in London.
And there many scenarios we will implement but none to be addressed here. Please accept my greetings
REPLY
And with the same logic I answer you...
America has atomic bombs by the hundreds more powerful than ours. and it is likely that they would reply with them. The difference between theirs and ours cannot be disputed. In the skies over Afghanistan by their airplanes the Americans are free to carry nuclear weapons, and aircraft carriers can respond as well and hit anywhere in Afghanistan with the press of a button.
Changing the facts does not change anything but makes the confrontation impossible and makes the loss an inevitable matter .
REPLY
Allah rewarded you a brotherly good my saving
And who said that America will be able to respond after being hit and suffering losses and heavy economic problems, besieged by their losses and confused and in a state of disarray?
A hit to America stronger than September will the economy, the country and their will.
I saw how some of the company collapsed, and other companies dismissed thousands from their employ because of the hits of September, and how much was the loss of the American economy because of the disconnection of the electricity in New York for only three hours!
The reaction signs is what delays the al Qaeda network from the execution of the expected hit God willing and the one that God willing a destroyer will be will paralyzing -like a man paralyzed they will not be able to do anything!!
Plans are in place for a devastating hit, awaiting the word after all preparations are in place.
The following is one of numerous examples of announcements made by a jihad Muslims on hidden Internet forums. The location of the nuclear attack is a matter of interpretation. On one hand, we have found numerous references to an attack being made against our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan that will cause substantial casualties. On the other hand, we have found similar postings that are confirmed to relate to the United States. Based on the "spotty" translation, the meaning remains unclear.
Potential Nuclear Attack
Brothers, the situation is dangerous all the signs indicate that the Americans will leave, the American forces will warn the families and leave within 24 hours only if it is hit by nukes, because the infidel American bush needs help for victory in the next election just as the Sheik Bashir said, god bless him
After this the situation will change in favor of the Mujahadeen God willing, after a definitive strike on the American enemy
Your duty is to pray and to donate and support financially, and if one of you can go to jihad, the next days will be filled with surprises

"That is one big pile of Bravo Sierra."
Only took them 5 weeks to make it up too. Impressive.

If one of you would short the power grid .
Just grab one cable in each hand
And ground youself upon the land...
What lovely sparks will fly, you stupid squid !!"
