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.

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520



This information is current as of today, Wed Jan 21 2004 02:02:31 GMT-0800.


Tajikistan


January 20, 2004


This Public Announcement replaces the Travel Warning dated December 20, 2002 . It is being issued to reflect the decrease in incidents of political violence in Dushanbe and the rest of the country. The Department of State reminds U.S. citizens, however, that the potential for terrorist actions against Americans in Tajikistan remains. U.S. citizens should evaluate carefully the implications for their security and safety before deciding to travel to Tajikistan . This Public Announcement expires on July 19, 2004 .


The political security situation in Tajikistan has improved in the last two years. Nevertheless, terrorist groups allied with al Qaeda, such as the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), remain active in Tajikistan and still pose risks to travelers. In the past, the IMU has been responsible for hostage-takings and border skirmishes near the Uzbek-Tajik-Kyrgyz border areas. The U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe continues to observe heightened security precautions. From time to time, the U.S. Embassy restricts the travel of U.S. Embassy personnel to certain parts of Tajikistan . Before traveling outside of Dushanbe , U.S. citizens should check with the U.S. Embassy to obtain the most up-to-date security information.


Embassy staff in Dushanbe work out of an interim Embassy facility. Resources and security considerations limit the availability of some consular services, including those of an emergency nature such as same-day passport issuance. Departure options from Tajikistan may be limited in an emergency. U.S. citizens, their family members, and their dependents can maximize departure options by obtaining extended visas for travel to countries with direct flight or reliable land connections to Tajikistan . These include Kazakhstan , Uzbekistan , the Kyrgyz Republic , Russia , and India , for which visas in advance are required. Other destinations, via weekly flight only, are Turkey and Germany , which do not require visas in advance. Please note, however, that in certain emergency situations, flights may be suspended.


U.S. citizens are urged to register and update their contact information at the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe . The Embassy is located at 10 Pavlov Street , Dushanbe , Tajikistan . The telephone numbers are 992-372-21-03-48, 992-372-24-15-60, and 992-372-51-00-29. The fax number is 992-372-21-03-62. Some consular services for Tajikistan are handled in coordination with the U.S. Embassy in Almaty , Kazakhstan . The U.S. Embassy in Almaty is located at 97 Zholdasbekova, Samal-2, Almaty 480099, tel. 7-3272-50-48-02, fax 7-3272-50-48-84.


Updated information on travel and security in Tajikistan may be obtained from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 within the United States , or, from overseas, 1-317-472-2328. U.S. citizens should consult the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet for Tajikistan , the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, and the Travel Publication "A Safe Trip Abroad," which are available on the Department's Internet site at http://travel.state.gov.

I have been gone a few days and I can't believe the number of new messages. Whew! *smile* Keep up the good work, guys!

By the way, please continue to pray about these threats. Please continue to pray for each other. I have been having some very disturbing dreams in the last few days. Just remember to remain vigilant regardless of the "threat level" or the appearance of safety in your environment!

"Prosecutor: Alleged Hizballah Member Snuck into U.S. from Mexico"

Posted Jan 20, 2004

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "An illegal alien from Lebanon, who snuck into the United States from Mexico, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Michigan for allegedly providing material support to the Hizballah terrorist group, a federal prosecutor announced this week.

A January 16 story in the Detroit Free Presscited passages from the indictment.

"Mahmoud Kourani is charged with conspiring with his brother, the Hizballah Chief of Military Security for Southern Lebanon and other unnamed co-conspirators, to provide material support to Hizballah," said a statement issuedby the office of Jeffrey G. Collins, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan.

"Kourani was a member, fighter, recruiter and fundraiser for Hizballah who operated both in Lebanon and later within the United States," said the statement. "Kourani entered the country illegally across the U.S./Mexican border.""

Is it making you physically ill or is it the hype on this thread? If you are certain it is not a 'human' emotion, then 'ask if we are in danger. If the voice in your head says yes with clarity, an instant answer with no 'human' input/intervention, then pray and ask for "Protection"

The 'force' is real, it is ruled by the law of cause and effect , but oft times its hard to distinguish the dread we feel of gut instinct and images/words ingrained in us

I do know that 'force' is more powerful and if we all draw on it, we can use its Protection shield
