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.

Not an encoded message. That homeland security site uses Ajeeb, an online translation service. Arabic uses nuances and historic references which are lost in machine translators.

My friend retranslated that message this afternoon. This is what my friend sent:

>>>>
Here's my translation. I've inserted comments in parentheses.

This appears to be poetry of some type. It appears to threaten the US, Bush, Rumsfeld, the US miliary, and the Saudi ruling family.

It is so broad that it may just be rhetoric designed to inflame. Hopefully that is all it is.

Tomorrow is your date, O Bush ..You Will Never Forget
The In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful And Allah promises are truthful (true) ...

Allah is the greatest

Under the guidance (Following the instructions) of Bin Laden, we continue our operations in Manhattan, that destroy America and its disgraceful evil.

I declare you, Bush, a terrorist, So with the iron will of triumph and eyetooth (translates as eyetooth but is a colloquialism for strength), I have gathered our friends, and we will remove the darkness from your night.

A youth was raised in the ways of his culture (neighborhood), and as a result of the teachings, he awakened at three and he divorced the world, a divorce final and irrevocable A youth committed and rejoicing, then becoming more resolute, but not tarrying, for tomorrow he enters into paradise. (The term seducing in this context probably refers to the belief that
virgins await his arrival. I would translate this to mean refer to a young shehad, a would-be martyr.)


(Is Manhattan days a reference to 9-11 or something to come in Manhattan? Could this be interpreted as the young person waking a 3 am, and preparing for death? I think the next 2 stanzas run together)

Tomorow, o Bush, you can expect us, and we will reward your actions with an attack so that you never forget us, in the Manhattan days, by bombs exploding, and terrors destroy you. Tomorrow, O Bush, is your date. A reminder that you the impudent one

were beside Sharon, as he tyrannizes in Palestine, fighting a million, and protecting the Alraan. (Alraan is one of the names ascribed to a demon... the implication is the the US is protecting a demon - sounds as if it is refering to Sharon as the demon.)

You vandlized my motherlands, destroyed a Kurasani, and a Kashmiri, and a Chechen, and the warm moist earth was prepared for us (referal to burial).

At Baghdad you destroyed, and burned, and sinned, and with a sweeping army you moved, and destroyed our safe haven.

You oppressed my poor, and broke their religous ties, and
dragged my millions into the stagnant swamp. (Metaphorically speaking it appears the author is claiming that by separating the people from their religion, they are now doomed to the mire.)

You desecrated the Kaaba, and with an army, you crucified it, and the rulers allowed it. The cheetah is serving. (I think this refers to sleepers either in the military or possibly the Saudi governent. Not sure if he is referring to the Saudi ruling family, or to the US in this paragraph.)

With western law they have established and from injustice
they profited, from the sacrifices of the motherlands, so that the servants may be paid.

Your guilts were famous, your consciences disappeared, and you thrust your daggers into our weak and patient back.

We will kill you with no mercy
We will turn your life into sadness

Rumsfeld will forget its name (not sure what Its refers to) and he is denied that the miller levied (???)

He will understand that we are a nation, and the
world will summit; she will break the black darkness,
with well thrown spear.

She revive my hopes, and the hopes and dreams of my
generation, and will crush the imposter, the criminal customer who has betrayed us.

Osama, he comes and he arrives, and revives for us an Al Amla, then destroys my master Hubal, and his all his priests (*Al Amla is a cemetery of the late pre-Islamic age in al Zahairah, Sultanate of Oman. Hubal was the moon god of the Kaaba worshipped by pre-Islamic Meccans. There was a significant battle there where the early Moslems captured the region, and many were put to death or endured forced conversions. This is probably symbolic, and whoever wrote this is hoping to have another Al Amla in the west.)

We travel, then we were patient... on our enemies increase in number, then we pronounce the name of our sheikh and the slaughter begins.

And permit our sheikh I permit,
God willing, he manages, and my sheikh triumphs
and America will be expelled, and not a citizen
shall remain. (probably referring to Saudi Arabia here.)

the praise of you, oh Allah accept them in the martyrs

Allah is the greatest

[GETMAIN]

Thanks for getting that translated and posting it!

[Calpernia]

No credit to me. I am just the messenger. Special thanks to a caring freeper!

[dixie sass]

Tomorrow? Manhattan? Could they be talking about Wall Street? The UN Building?

[dixie sass]

Longtitude? Latitude? Hours - a countdown?

[mhking]

Could be anything.

[dixie sass]

Latitude: 38.83 N Degrees. Longitude: 76.67 W

Washington, DC.

2 observations: "we will remove the darkness from your night", (repeated twice), and the reference to 3 a.m. tells me that if anything happens, it will be at night.

As for "We will kill you with no mercy
We will turn your life into sadness "

Well, that's just non-sensical. How can someone's life be turned to sadness if you've killed them in the previous sentence?

[dixie sass]

Think of it in the context of their religion - life after death.

I saw a reference to 3am. So that would be in 3 hours. I don't know how much weight to lend this though. I purposely did some rounds on Saturday where I know some Muslims routines. All the ones I know were where they should be doing what they normally do.

re post no. 1263,

Can your friend provide a source (url) link or web site where the message is located that your friend translated?

[knak]

excellent!

[Calpernia]

Good catch Cindy. I didn't realize I edited that part out when I was editing the message for posting.

[Cindy]

re post no. 1276... Thank you for that Calpernia --- I appreciate it.

Now if only hagmannpi would post the source url for his info. Maybe I'm missing his url source, but I've looked around several times there and haven't found it yet.

[Calpernia]

I looked. I don't see a source URL. I did email him, info@hagmannpi.com

I know he got my email, I have a READ receipt. No response yet though.

[JustPiper]

This is a vital message Calpernia and an FR translator posted...Please Read if you have not

Translation : I am an Islamic computer nerd (Praise be !)
who hath surf-ed the internet: looking for love in all the wrong places - ( Just kidding,Imam !! )- and have decided
to scareth the Crusaders by posting this bold declaration.

Only Allah ( His name be praise - ed ! ) knoweth when the tiny hairs on my chin will turn to a real beard; but, in the meantime, I must do my humble part , and pretend it is jihad.
