Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat
Debka ^ | 11-3-2003 | Staff

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.

I can't even find a News ticker about what is going on with the Staten Island Ferry. No one is reporting.

I also want to include this brief, but very important information in this thread:

===
Iraqi officers: Al Qaida operatives were trained near Baghdad (Saddam recruited Al Qaeda)
Geostrategy Direct ^ | Dec. 30, 2003 | Geostrategy-Direct

Saudi nationals helped Saddam Hussein recruit and finance Al Qaida insurgents to confront U.S. troops in Iraq. Iraqi officers who have been interrogated by the United States and coalition officials said Saddam's contacts with Al Qaida preceded the group's Sept. 11, 2001 strikes on New York and Washington. They said Saudi envoys helped Al Qaida insurgents to enter Iraq and begin training in camps around Baghdad.

However, I didn't see anything in breaking
news on the Pentagon, either.

Celebrating CHRISTmas Eve day and

Nothing really new in the TV news, either.

All real news sources would be run by skeleton crews now with low level or newbie reporters. That is the one thing a dislike about holidays (only thing). I know, the reporters need to give thanks too. But I am guilty of "I want it now" (meaning information).

This MIGHT be important regarding American points of Interest and MIGHT be why there is extra security in the area of certain landmarks, military installations, etc.

Rocket Hits Hotel With Westerners in Iraq
AP - 56 minutes ago
A roadside bomb exploded north of Baghdad on Wednesday, killing three U.S. soldiers in the deadliest attack on Americans since Saddam Hussein's capture. The military said a fourth American soldier was also killed Wednesday, and on Christmas morning, a rebel rocket shattered windows on a Baghdad hotel filled with Western contractors and journalists.

Did you guys catch the part that there were questionable Al Qaeda ties to the passengers on the plane lists? I assume we now get a list of who is coming before the plane leaves and that is how and why we requested that the planes should not come.

So WE KNEW some of the passengers were questionable and France allowed them to book flights? Why didn't France pick them up?

A good very broad synopsis of the security situation in NY, LA, Washington DC and the Pentagon.
