Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat

[history]
Monday, November 3, 2003
A new message was posted in the last few hours by the Jeddah-based al-Qaeda-linked Al-Islah (Reform) society calling on Muslims to flee New York, Washington and Los Angeles in advance of major al Qaeda attacks in those cities. This is revealed by DEBKAfile.
The message accuses the United States of predetermining its end (doom) by its policies. ?The Jews rule the Pentagon by remote control and (are the cause) of Muslims being killed in every corner of the world. The United States should therefore expect more blows.?
The message is signed on behalf of the al Bayan (The Threat) movement by ?your warrior brother, Abul Hassan al Khadrami?.
Our Muslim expert identifies the name of the signatory as belonging to a Yemeni from Hadhrameuth, the Bin Ladens? place of origin where Osama enjoys substantial tribal support.
DEBKAfile?s counter-terror sources stress that warnings appearing on these forums are taken both very seriously and with caution by the intelligence services keeping track of the terrorist network?s electronic traffic.
Last November, Jeddah-based fundamentalist forums addressed a message to an Al Qaeda member, saying whoever understands ? understands; whoever knows, knows, but we are marching towards an operation that will take us to Paradise. Three days later, the Mombasa Paradise hotel was blown up killing 12 Kenyans and 3 Israelis and a failed shoulder-launched Strela anti-air missile missed an Israeli airliner at Mombasa airport.

More on incitement of hatred of the west along with actual clips at http://www.pmw.org.il/new/
Please go look at that site. I think it's important that we be aware of what we are facing. Here is one image from it. There is quite a bit of detail on how they are indoctrinating the kids.

Hmmm, maybe some liberal airport screeners thought he was just returning to his own nation after having been sent to DC by the dnc to vote in the dem primary, you know, as a trial run for the upcoming presidential election. So they allowed the dude to hightail it out of America without checking him or his baggage properly.

Here's more on that from BBC
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/3396667.stm Terror suspect held at Heathrow
No flights were disrupted by the security scare
A Sudanese man stopped at Heathrow Airport for allegedly carrying five bullets in his coat has been held under the Terrorism Act.
The 45-year-old man, who flew into Heathrow from Washington DC in transit to Dubai, was initially arrested under the Firearms Act.
The man was picked up by routine airport checks on Wednesday morning.
He was taken to a central London station to be interviewed by anti-terror police on Wednesday night.
The British airline pilots' union, Balpa, says "questions will be asked" about security at the Washington end.
The man was questioned earlier by Heathrow police, while forensic experts examined the ammunition that security staff said they found on him.
Passengers who came in on the same flight said the man told staff he did not realise the items were in his coat pocket.
He arrived at the airport's Terminal 3 at 0740 GMT on a Virgin Atlantic flight, police said.
Earlier, a police source said the man was not a known terrorist suspect.
'No threat'
A Virgin Atlantic spokeswoman confirmed the man had flown from Washington Dulles to Heathrow on flight VS022 in transit to board a flight to Dubai with another airline .
The airline said in a statement the "item" seized did not pose a threat to the aircraft.
The statement read: "The safety and welfare of our passengers and crew is Virgin Atlantic's top priority.
"Screening of passengers at Washington Dulles airport is the responsibility of the Transportation Security Administration."
You only need vigilance to lapse for one piece of luggage and that bag gets through
David Learmont
Flight International
The TSA and the United States Department of Homeland Security were not available for comment.
Wednesday's incident follows American insistence that international flights to or over the US would be required to carry armed guards in certain cases over the festive period.
The decision came amid renewed fears that terrorists may be trying to use aircraft to stage a new attack.
The US request was followed by repeated disruption of the British Airways BA223 flight from Heathrow to Washington.
The flight was cancelled on 1 and 2 January and delayed on each of the next five days amid security fears and under guidance from the government.
'Questions asked'
A spokesman for British airline pilots' union Balpa said the detection of the man showed that security on the ground was crucial.
He said: "This is where we need to concentrate our investment, and not be diverted into cul-de-sacs like sky marshals.
"Obviously there will be a lot of questions asked in America as to how he got on the plane undetected."
David Learmount, operations and security director at Flight International magazine, said security was ultimately dependent on human vigilance.
"You only need vigilance to lapse for one piece of luggage and that bag gets through", he said
