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

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.

Where did you say this came from? I am very interested to know. I can't figure out what EOM means, sorry.

Reminds me of the tail chewing screed on post 10,487.

I didnt see any immediate similarities, however..I checked.

[Velveeta]

Your guess is as good as mine!? There haven't been any updates that I could find.

"Saif al-Adil...is this who EOM is referring to here?"

Is Saif al-Adil still among the living (and do we have a photo to post a FR all points bulletin?) OBL was fiery( angry?) when naming this person with this? Is there intercessory prayer in Islam? If not, the words al-Adil might be another holy name or description for Allah.

U.S. officials have said they believe the attacks were ordered by Seif al-Adel, who was in Iran when he ordered the attacks, though they suspect he has since fled the country.

"...the war of accusations..."


Does it sound like someone's getting chilly toes?

Saif al Adil is a big time bad guy. He is pretty far up the Al Qaeda food chain, and it is believed that he gave the orders for the attack in the residential compound in Riyadh. The last I heard, he was still among the living, although that may have changed. His son was captured and killed at Tora Bora, and he has been putting out some pretty bad anti-American rhetoric. He's bad news as far as we are concerned. The sooner he is caught or dispatched to be with his Allah, the better.

Amazing that you can translate all that so quickly. Thanks for all your hard work.

COME ON, guys. I cannot believe some of you are taking this ONE person (who could be ANYONE) so darn seriously.

EOM is BS, IMHO. It is at best disinformation. At worst, a kid yanking our chains.

As Ruttles4Ever said earlier - it would be wise not to place any credence in an UNSUBSTANTIATED, rambling message board post on the Internet. Now, if I heard this straight from Usama, via Al Jazeera..then I'd be a BIT concerned. (But, remember..they thought they "destroyed" us on 9/11, so they are prone to hyperbole).

This guy has been saying we will all die "soon" for months now.

We are still here. We will be here after Feb 2.

I for one am not going to waste any cycles even thinking one iota about this dribble.

[judicial meanz]

I dont see a problem with analysis of this guys post. I am not going to shake off my clothes and run screaming into the night out of fear over this, however.

Discourse is healthy in this area, and thats all this is.

[Domestic Church]

Thank you! This guy in a Brooks bros suit could fool many I bet. I remember his face from months back...he is a big fish. Wish we could flash his face on every highway right now.

[judicial meanz]

Good catch Liz!

[Domestic Church]

Oh my! It took the IAEA a month to look at that yellowcake?! There were in Libya much faster. Who paid them to slow their feet?

[jstolzen]

Agreed..

I guess I just have "EOM fatigue".

Things are rolling along fine and ducky until an 'EOM' post shows up. Then all heck breaks loose and the Terror Alert level here on FR goes to Quadruple Red.

If you think about it..the nation is at Yellow Alert. The 'chatter' level has apparently dropped dramatically. Most think we dodged a "conventional" (eg: airplane) attack on Dec 31/Jan 1. Life is good. People are getting back into "normal life" all in all.

Yet, ONE lone "terrorist" creates this level of apparent angst. If we allow that, he gets exactly what he is trying for - to instill terror in people.

I'm not playing his game, though I am indeed interested in what you all think re: the analysis.

Thanks..take care and stay safe.
