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.

At the U.S-Mexico border, the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection said it would be conducting more thorough inspections of the 55,000 vehicles that cross from Tijuana, Mexico to San Diego each day. Agents were paying close attention to pedestrians, documents and merchandise, and carefully examining trunks and cargo spaces.

Intelligence indicated al-Qaeda was seeking again to use planes as weapons and exploit suspected weakness in U.S. aviation security.

And we know therein the danger lies at the Mexican border

This is a very busy ping issue, if you would like on/off just gimme a holler!

Ohio trucker joined al Qaeda jihad

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- An Ohio trucker has admitted to helping plan al Qaeda attacks in the United States after meeting terror chief Osama bin Laden at an Afghanistan terror training camp.

Iyman Faris, 34, checked out the chances of destroying a New York bridge and tried to buy equipment for proposed al Qaeda attacks while appearing to be a law-abiding trucker, according to documents unsealed Thursday in the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia.

Please add me to your ping list. Thanks.

The other threads are fun for chitchat and throwing around scenarios; this one seems quite serious and I'll respect the integrity of the thread.

re calenard in post no. 2600...

Last week, I noticed that the two dates I ran across a bit on calendars of sites I was web surfing on were: February 2, 2004, February 4, 2004. No conclusion was drawn, but I did notice that.

Re your post no. 2604 and the post no. 804 on the other thread.

OPINION: I believe the poster just might have something there. Not all of our new info is based on Libya, or Saddam's papers in Iraq, or intel from the internet, or informants, but really --- it's most likely a combination of all these elements plus other methods of information gathering.

"it's most likely a combination of all these elements plus other methods of information gathering."

==

I think that is exactly how they analyze intelligence -- gather them from all sources, and perhaps, where info from one source has holes, those can be filled by another source, which corraborates part of the info from the first source, but adds more pieces, some of which were missing earlier and so on.

re post no. 2614...Yes, and I've seen green flower designs and artistic works and pictures of green foliiage in "paradise" and green birds of various artistic renderings --- green fancy Arabic writing --- so, I don't get too turned on about green HOWEVER I will look more closely if green rings are symbolic of chemicals.

Bunch of wanna-bees, IMHO. Vigilence is a good thing though.

[Rushmore Rocks]

Yes, please add me to your "terror ping" list.. I go to Safeway every fifteen minutes...whether I need to or not...(a little homemaker humor there) and I check these sites just as often. I am the "go to person" in my family and neighborhood. They come to me for the knowledge and information I receive from FR. Please keep me updated.

Thanks.

The way it is made light of as on the breaking thread today is why I posted this thread link on that thread, THIS is the first place to come to for all info! Bump!

Gosh, I haven't even made it to Breaking News yet! As soon as I sat down to the computer earlier, it seemed like everyone decided it was a great time to call or come by for a visit. ARRRRRGH!!
People are making light of Tom Ridge's announcement? SHEEEEESH!! Complacency is what the terrorists have counted on.
Very good, posting the link to this thread. If folks check out even half the info here, their eyes should be opened.

Since this thread was posted, it's been my first stop every time I sit down to FR.

[arasina]

I'd like to be added to your Terror ping list. I keep returning to this thread since everything is compiled so nicely, but would appreciate being pinged to updates.
