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.

I post at badastronomy from time to time. Not under SpoofChicken though. I don't spend alot of time in chat rooms or forums all too much anymore. I used to spend all my time in a Pink Floyd chatroom under Spoof, as well as a bunch of others, and I'm not so into forums, because I didn't always have the attention span to deal with them. They were usually gaming forums or general discussion forums, and the idiots there kept me from even wanting to follow them. Now I mostly chat on AIM or MSN with people I know. SpoofChicken isn't my handle on either of those though. I'm on AIM all day, every day, chatting with several people at a time. I mostly only use SpoofChicken as a login or a handle for online gaming. As for only posting on this thread, I've been completely sucked into it. I've been reading FR for months now, but I only signed up after I started following this thread so I could post my opinions on this situation. This is usually the only thread I come to now. And the discussion is something I can't help but follow, and care about.

Some Java Programs give you that annoying box that you can click, "do you want this message to show" yes or no. Once you click no...you are never prompted again. And it runs in the background.

Seems to me something is up tonight, they seem really madder than usual. Makes me wonder about the OBL rumor.

What do you make of that rant?

They just haven't figured out yet that they can't win.

I found another post by Tazboy where he said that he did not speak Arabic. What do you make of that ?

About as likely as finding a letter from a Catholic born in 1884 (note date) who claimed not to be able to understand a word of Latin. Or a Greek Orthodox born in the same time frame who claimed not to understand a word of Greek. Or a Jew who claimed not to know a word of Hebrew.

In all cases it just about completely nullifies any claim the person would have to actually following the religion. You'd pick up at least a few words just by attending services, plus all of them make (or at least made) an effort to teach the languages.

Yes, that is Sean posting. The site will be updated shortly.

From what I see, I cannot find anything time zone specific in the java script. But I am not a code person, just a tired person right now! Goodnight all.

I know. I gotta go to bed too. I'm plum tuckered.

nite all! I hope we really got him!!

[Cindy]

No opinion at all.

[knak]

ok, stopped me in my tracks goin' off to bed. Guess I'll have to hang out a few more minutes. I thought it was him.

[WestCoastGal]

Any chance this will break on the regular news tonight?

[Cindy]

Thank you.
That link was pointed out to me, so I can't take
any credit for it.

[Pro-Bush]

I take this as good news. We are kicking the crap out of AQ, and if OBL is captured, the wind will be taken out of their sail, and be shark bait.

I think we got em'.

....I'll probably have to eat my words later.

[Calpernia]

It will break once OBL is in a secure location. I have no idea when this will be.

(I'm dancing though) ^-^

[texasbluebell]

Wow, thanks for that, Cal! I've been trying to trace the IP of the posts on CN & V but now I won't.

[Calpernia]

Oops, site is updated...sorry. I was posting DoD news and missed the updates:

ADVERTISEMENT Oops my bad for not saying this here ... according to NEIN sources the US will deny capture until OBL is firmly secured in secret and secure location. I would expect, (my personal opinion) just as in the case of the capture of Saddam, confirmation from US Government sources will follow in that template. This is my guesstimate. I really have no idea how the highest levels of the USG will handle this major event.

So now I'm going to bed!!

[Calpernia]

Woa! Excellent list of links! thank you.

[texasbluebell]

I see you spotted Cal's post before you signed off!

[WestCoastGal]

We will all be dancing, I hope!!!

I told a friend tonight that doesn't know anything about computers that we may have OBL. He said "oh you've been on that internet again" :-) I said of course, that's why you call me when you want to know something about the news. FR rocks when it comes to breaking news. I hope this is true.

[SpoofChicken]

Was that directed towards me? :P Well, I only said that after I read his other posts. Namely, these ones:

"Jihad doesn't have to carried out by weapons. We can do it with our pens too remember :D"

"This is a very interesting topic. I also don't support suicide bombing."

The red alert post is a bit troubling, though. Kinda reminds me of the one EOM supposedly wrote on 9/10. But it just seems to me that he supports jihad, but his contribution is through the songs he wrote on that board. I think there's a couple more there by him.
