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.

All, maybe that "super horse" was right on target. LOL

Let us put this claim to the test. There is a hadith that reports Muhammad one night, riode on a winged horse that drove him from Masjidu’lHaram to Msjidu’l Aqsa (in Jerusalem) and from there to the seventh heaven where he was shown the hell and the paradise and then taken to the presence of Allah. This story that is commonly accepted by All the Muslims and is known as Mi’raj is also confirmed in Quran

Led's that do remote control aplications operate in the Infared light spectrum. Modern TV's use this method. I can't see where it would be much use for a terrorist though. You have to be pretty close to whatever you are controlling and have a clear line of sight.

re post no. 14145...

KEY SENTENCE IN THE ARTICLE:

"The newspaper, on its Web site, cited "unconfirmed reports" as the basis for its report."

[swarthyguy]

Then why're we hearing this claptrap about the war being multigenerational and lasting for decades?

And the weasel words, the "AQ of the 9.11 period"?

What the hell does that mean?

What about the AQ of 2004?

Sounds like wishful thinking from State.

[Letitring]

OMG. Now that is amazing.

re post no. 14170 and 14171...

Who knows who looks at those links and analyses them and translates them.

Thanks Piasa and now...

THIS POST IS WORTH REPEATING...THIS POST IS WORTH READING...

To: Cindy

AMMAN, Jordan - Jordan's military prosecutor Tuesday recommended the death penalty for 11 men accused in an al-Qaida-linked plot to carry out terror attacks on Americans and Israelis that began with the slaying of a U.S. aid worker in Jordan."

This would be the US diplomat Laurence Foley. It is believed he was assassinated by operatives of al-Zarqawi on behalf of Saddam Hussein. Zarqawi is also believed to be the person who aided terrorists in Europe in obtaining the toxin 'ricin.'

Oh. You are so smart, thanks. :)

The bottom line.

These guys are and will continue to be out there.

You cannot get them all.

They are well funded.

Future generation "Jihadists" are being bred every minute.

Sooner or later a few will once again evade our intelligence and law enforcement.

It only took "19" to kill thousands on 9/11.

[jstolzen]

Boy, you're just full of positive outlook, aren't you?

Sure..the threat is real. 30% of a nasty threat is still a problem.

I think the point that was being made is that we are DECIMATING the bad guys organization.

This is good, and I believe it.

BTW..I'm one who thinks that NOTHING WILL HAPPEN < 2/4. All of the angst here is from Message Board posts, that could have been made by ANYBODY for crying out loud.

I'm reading this thread much less lately because while there are a lot of smart people posting here, many have been pulled in by - well, I'm not quite sure what. But you sure have to wonder how smart, educated people can believe the world is going to get whallopped based on some UNSUBSTANTIATED AND UNPROVEN message board posts that could just as easily be being made by a teenager in Idaho as a "real" terrorist or terrorists.

Just MHO. Sorry to rant, but this whole thing has been getting to me and it's hard to see why anyone is giving it credibility.

POTUS comments - sure. VP comments - OK. "EOM" and "Daleel"..gimme a break!

"Bin Laden hoax backfires in Lebanon"





By Sebastian Usher
BBC News





ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A spoof newsflash by a TV station in Lebanon saying that Osama Bin Laden had been captured in the northern city of Tripoli was taken more seriously than the programme-makers had expected.





Arabic TV stations have aired several 'Bin Laden' tapes


Despite several clues onscreen that the bulletin was a joke, the LBC station was inundated with calls.

The rumour of Bin Laden's capture temporarily overshadowed a meeting between the Lebanese Prime Minister, Rafiq Hariri, and the Greek President, Costas Stefanopoulos.

After the programme, Lebanon's media watchdog convened an urgent meeting to look into the incident."

I understand your frustration.

I'm glad to see that you understand that even 30% of a nasty problem is bad enough!!!

RE POST NO. 14230

WOW! That's a lot to look at.
I recognize some of those urls, too.

Thank you.

[jstolzen]

OK..sorry..that may have been a bit "rantish".

Full disclosure here..I HAVE prepared for the "worst". I have lots of food (grain), water, first aid, etc. Backpack ready (soon) to high tail it if neccessary. Even bought one of those handy "Nuke Alerts" JUST in case it's needed.

This has given me pretty good piece of mind. If the bad guys do anything, we'll obliterate the ME. I can also hunker down here for a very long length of time and watch us show them who has the REAL power.

So, I try to not spaz out from the latest "EOM", "Daleel", etc posts. (And I do consider them total and complete BS, incidentally, for "real" terrorist would not converse with us in English, and I doubt they would even post to an open 'net BB..but that's another topic).

Preparation = Peace of Mind, IMHO. I've chosen lately to focus more on the prep, less on the worry.

Lastly - saw an interesting bill board on a church sign the other day that some may want to consider. It said:

"Worry is the thief of joy".

Thought that summed things up pretty well.

Peace, gang.

[txhurl]

The 70% caught were the stupid, slow ones. Now we're just left with the residual 30% smart ones.

[Cindy]

I think it means END OF MESSAGE.

[txhurl]

You know, this thread is as much an exercise as anything. I don't think anyone's panicking here. Maybe seeing the thread scroll thru latest gives everybody that impression, and I for one would like to have it NOT report on latest.

Thanks for your concern, tho......

Interesting development...
Cheney is going to visit JP II on the 27th and it looks like the Vatican is spinning more in line with Bush:
