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.

I found a book at a discount warehouse a few years ago called Hammer of Eden by Ken Follett. It was about a group of radicals who threatened to cause earthquakes in protest to a nuclear plant. They used some sort of special equipment, like a big jackhammer on flatbed, but surely explosives placed at the right points would do the trick as well.

Wonder if any of the bin Laden construction equipment is available to accomplish whatever the goal is...OBL used lots of his company's, and his father's company's, equipment in Afghanistan during the 80's...OBL knows infrastructure, engineering, equipment, etc.

Nothing there that has not been posted right here.

Bummer...thanks, Revel.

The vast majority of messages being posted on Arabic-language internet chartrooms consist of innocent banter, often between bored teenagers. But on certain 'jihadi' (ie extremist) sites there is a plethora of angry rhetoric against America and its allies.

Sometimes a contributor using an assumed name will log on for a short time and post a message saying something like "the countdown to a mighty blow against the non-believers has begun" or "prepare yourself, oh mujahideen, for victory against the Zionist oppressors".

Over the Christmas/New Year holiday period, US intelligence agencies received information that made them believe there was a risk of terrorists setting off a radiological dirty bomb in a US city, so they dispatched experts to those cities with detection devices. They did not find any bombs.

How important is the internet for al-Qaeda communication?

The internet is invaluable. Before the attacks of 11 September 2001, al-Qaeda's senior leadership preferred to communicate by satellite phone. Now they are much more wary.

Sorry to have to do this, SpoofChicken, but I think you showed me disrespect.

re post no. 10906...

I agree except with one modification...

AQ IS A TERRORIST GROUP AND INVOKES THE IDEA THEY ARE AN ISLAMIC ARMY. It is up to Muslims to explain why AQ is or is not an Islamic Army.

Rep. Tom Tancredo’s Four-Point Plan for Immigration Control

The United States has lost control over its immigration policy. Over one million persons enter our nation illegally each year and we have antiquated and error-prone systems for knowing who our legal visitors are and for enforcing their visa time limits. Every poll shows that over 75% of citizens support border security and strict enforcement of our immigration laws. They want our immigration policies fixed. Here is my four-point plan for achieving control of our borders and enforcing sensible immigration policies.

I didn't whine when I had to remove my skullcap!

First they got all bent out of shape about France wanting to take away the scarfs...now the US. Whatever happened with that Egyptian FLASH AIR that crashed with the French tourists?

You don't strike me as a whiner under any circumstances, JP! <8^)

[JustPiper]

Always! Days and sometimes WEEKS ahead of time -g-

[Cindy]

re post no. 10913...You are correct.

[Cindy]

re post no. 10931

I don't know...a deal maybe?

[JustPiper]

I see it as baiting and begging him to come out and play. calling his bluff if you will.

McVeigh was put to death for the crime. His accomplice, Terry Nichols, whose family lives in the Las Vegas area, is serving a term of life in prison.

Where is Terry Nichols serving his prison term? He made an awful lot of trips to the Philippines....

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

We are a nation and have a long history, with the grace of God, Praise and Glory be to Him. We are now in the 15th century of this great religion, the complete and comprehensive methodology, has clarified the dealing between an individual and another, the duties of the believer towards God, Praise and Glory be to Him, and the relationship between the Muslim country and other countries in time of peace and in time of war.

We declared jihad against the US government, because the US government is unjust, criminal and tyrannical. It has committed acts that are extremely unjust, hideous and criminal whether directly or through its support of the Israeli occupation of the Prophet's Night Travel Land (Palestine).

However, I am deeply concerned by the actions of cell 404. I am a busy man. I do not have time for these insideous interuptions while we wage war against the infidels in the name of Allah (Peace be Upon Him). And yet, I am wakened at my current location by Abu Zubaydah (Peace be Upon Him) about this foolish chatter.

Said bousak! Kos okht ile nafadak! Ma fish Kahraba!

It is known that every action has its reaction. And if this game you play is not finished, then 'a tabbub zibby ib teezik.'

Our time grows short. The end of 1424 grows near. Your actions have already caused delays. Our victory over the Great Satan will not be stopped because of your incessant chattering. Or since you are accustomed to opening your mouth, 'ikhlassy akhrasi ya sharmoot wa iftahy khashmik!'

Assalaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh Astowda Okomallah

Alhaam hu Akhbar!

I've got the translation - it's strange.

I have to get my daughter off on her ski trip; will post the translation in an hour or less.

It appears to be a poem of some kind; it almost reads like a love poem.
