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.

OMG, thanks for the encouragement. LOL. It's still printing. :)

NEIN, Sean update...

Although the public has been hearing lately that the risk of attack is lower today than the last few months of 2003, we do not find this assessment to be consistent with our latest findings. It is important for people to understand that at least 30 major metropolitan cities remain on "high alert" status, along with our nuclear power plants, refineries, and other various aspects of our infrastructure. Similar to the events that preceded 9/11, we are findings postings by Islamic clerics and other individuals warning about a "great event." Were their such signs prior to 9/11 posted on the Internet? Our research suggest there were indeed. Although the identities of individuals posting and publishing items on the Internet can be "spoofed," the timing of the posts cannot. While there is an unending debate about the true identity of an individual named "EOM," the fact that one and apparently several postings appeared under that name that "predicted" a "great event" to take place (against and inside the US) prior to 9/11 cannot be disputed. Despite hundreds of man-hours of investigation devoted to the true identity of the original "EOM" poster, we make no claims at this point about his/her identity, only that there is indeed evidence of foreknowledge to an attack on US soil. We are seeing much of the same type of communications today as there were in the days and weeks preceding September 11th, 2001 - not by one lone poster, but throughout the Islamic jihad forums.

135 pages. All time record for me, that's for sure. LOL. Hum, should make for some interesting late night reading. :)

[Letitring]

Did you see 'our' good morning message from one of 'them?'

[Mossad1967]

Yes I did. Interesting...

[freeperfromnj]

There is a lot of very useful information in it. I remember during one orange alert several months back I left it on the table along with emergency meeting place instructions and other supplies before I left the house. May family thought I was tinfoil back then. They've since given up and just humor me and my arm-chair terror tracking.

That 135 page document will make a nice Christmas gift for an annoying neighbor next year.

[Letitring]

How big is yours? I'm getting the feeling this is only a chapter, in a much bigger offering. :0

[Letitring]

LOL. It's an attention getter, alright. Whew.

[freeperfromnj]

It's probably about the same size - a little over a hundred pages.

You know, I'm starting to get really skeptical about eom. All this stuff showing up on that board from different places. Those IP addresses can be found anywhere. There are so many pages of free proxies out there it isn;t funny. What has he said that gives any more knowledge of events than other "jihadists"?

BTW, good morning everybody!

[Velveeta]

Thanks for the information. There's so much that this thread has taught me about the Middle Eastern issues.

[Velveeta]

Thanks, Letitring. Cindy? Do you have that link to the kidnapping Prince rumors handy? I'd love to see how it matches up with this information.

I keep asking for evidence of these pre 09.11 warnings, predictions, whatever, but have yet to see conclusive proof that they exist, other than the chilling lyrics to some song that was posted on 09.10. If someone can point me to the evidence, then I'll back off my rant, but until then, I remain extremely skeptical.

[Letitring]

Vel, that one about the Prince was a red link in the last 200 or so posts, 'cause I just read it this morning.

Morning Knak.

[Velveeta]

Well should make the search easier, LOL, thanks.

[Letitring]

Vel, it's post 13,086 from the Cindy. :)

My roommate thinks I'm paranoid because I'm prepared for a disaster (natural or man-made). I think she gets irritated with me becuase I won't let for 'forget' about the threats we face. She's a total sheeple/ostritch with her head in the sand. She won't talk about it or even acknowledge there is a threat. I feel sorry for her. She asked me sometimes if I know something that she doesn't. My reply is Yes I do.

In my mind, it would be foolish to know of pending threats and not to prepare for them, but that's the why she goes about life. Hey, who am I to judge?

While I am prepared for any eventuality, these threats don't cause me to lose sleep or change my routine. They are a bit worrisome, but because I'm ready for anything, I don't stress that much. I have supplies, plans, and like minded friends whom I can rely on. All in all, I'm a pretty lucky guy.

[appalachian_dweller]

>> I remain extremely skeptical <<

I know what you mean. I really think 95% of what's posted on these boards is disinformation or a joke or whatever. It's the stuff we're not seeing/hearing about that may come to pass.

Again, while I am skeptical, I'm still prepared. Hope you are too.
