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

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.

When the entire country went to "Orange Alert" over the holidays, "internet chatter" was among the reasons for raising the alert.

It's not *just* about EOM, it's about all of them. "They" want to do harm to us in the worst way. We're observing and taking notes.

I don't see anyone freaking out here in Henny Penny mode, but I do see alot of folks who are being vigilant. Is that wrong?

Oh, that was funky.

Why did it post twice?

Sorry, guys! System burp.

[jstolzen]

Apologies, gang..

I just have EOM fatigue.

Carry on with the good & valuable analysis.

I agree...I work in emergency preparedness and spent the last two weeks on the road because of this junk....I am burned out on threats too.

I guess I still have that investigative instinct intact from when I was a cop...I like to dig and analyze...I guess its a hobby while preparedness is a job now...

You take care too man!

Thank you.

Someone on the EOM and Daleel board found this out in his IP check:


If he is reading, good catch!!!!!

He's posting out of Juarez right across the border from Juarez.
Uninet provides services for Copernico and Telmex who is feeding back
through a sprint pipe into L.A.. Common telcom stuff for Mexico. He
is definitely at the border probably at a little shop that provides
internet connects. If he is spoofing it would be one hell of a decent
and accurate spoof.

Has anyone tried plugging Samir and Khodja into Twexus?
Makes for a couple of interesting combinations.
If you are familiar with Houston, you'll know right away what I'm referring to.

I have to laugh at these jihadis who believe - quite wrongly - that the Internet affords them any anonymity whatsoever. It doesn't.

It's certainly possible to obfuscate your tracks pretty well on the Internet. It is not, however, trivial. It's especially not trivial if you're trying to hide from the US & Govt ... there are a lot of tracking tools available, the ISP logs just scratch the surface. It does take a certain amount of time and effort however - which is why it isn't done for every little jihadi posting. It's also a lot easier to hide from J. Random User than it is to hide from John Law.

But fortunately for the good guys, many of these people don't really have a clue how to cover their tracks very well. A few do, and they're probably the most dangerous ones.

Prayers going up he's not on our soil.

I wonder if anyone in Rotterdam knew how to process the yellow cake (that was just a crumb that felloff the cake, right?) into the red velvet uranium blue bonnet winner.

Seems to have worked. Standby, we'll see what comes back.

Well he did say he was on his way to Houston. This does become more interesting since we still don't know if this is a credible threat or not. But needs to be watched very carefully. Whoever found out that IP info should be invited over here.

Thanks for posting this, I don't like going into those groups.

[judicial meanz]

Anytime.

I enjoy the analysis of this. Look forward to seeing what comes of it.

Umberella / Taters ???

Careful with Twexus, loads of people are seeding the database with a lot of junk lately. Before anyone 'knew' about it, it may have been a slick way to pass obscure messages - Now it is a repository for folks possibly trying to put a spin on their own 'agendas'. IMHO :)

Hang in there!
