Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat

[history]
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.

"Attiyah also indicates that it is the al-Qaeda victories against the American troops in Iraq that motivated al-Zawahiri to announce his new commitment."
What!? These people are both delusional and big liers. I'm almost confident that 9-11 was the best they could come up with. It won't be long before their eventual annihilation.

U.S. Wants to Question Would-Be Air France Passengers -WASHINGTON U.S. investigators want to speak with a small number of people in Paris who failed to show up for boarding flights to Los Angeles that fell under close scrutiny in a possible terrorist plot, including one pilot-trainee, a U.S. official said Friday. - The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said investigators hope to resolve concerns that some passengers aboard those flights might have intended to use them to launch terror attacks against the United States. One of them was receiving pilot training but was not yet certified, the official said. Dead Man Found in Airplane Wheel Well - NEW YORK A man was found dead inside the wheel well of a passenger jet that arrived in New York on Christmas Eve from Jamaica, officials said. - Maintenance crews discovered the body late Wednesday, several hours after American Airlines flight 1190 landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport (search), said Dan Maynard, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (search). The flight had originated in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

I am not sure. There are a few types of Hamas flags
The flag (with a circle) between the two losers on the left looks like the image in the original picture.

re post no. 3894...
Wow! Now that's a nice photo.
Kind of reminds me of when I almost ran into a mailbox on a beautiful spring day. A couple obviously in love and all the blossoms on the trees and there I was... not paying attention to my driving!
Thanks JP.

Another terrorist scheme:
Terrorists plan to pose as disabled travelers
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1047158/posts WASHINGTON A new U.S. intelligence report obtained by WorldNetDaily describes a plot by "Pakistani Islamic extremists" to pose as aides to disabled travelers to obtain U.S. visas and carry out terrorist attacks once inside the U.S.
They also plan to conduct attacks in Britain using the same scheme, which is designed to "draw less scrutiny from law enforcement," according to the closely held two-page report by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The attacks will allegedly take place in April 2004, says the report, which is marked "Law Enforcement Sensitive."

I appreciate your comments and should tell you that I've worked around toxic chemicals like radioactive markers, organic carcinogens/mutagens, and nerve agents.
Your comments do not fall on deaf ears.
Casual readers of this thread will misinterpret your comments.
As a board certified physician who is familiar with the relative risks of various types of accidents, you are correct stating that radiation hazards pose a risk.
However, you are grossly overstating the relative risk of being directly involved with a terrorist radioactive weapon release. The harsh reality is that you stand a far larger chance of being frozen in a nor-eastern blizzard while standing in Texas' panhandle, being Earthquaked on in Tokyo, being swamped by a hurricane in Florida, or being killed in a car accident in Los Angeles.
Dust particles of particular sizes are notoriously difficult to clear from your lungs, including microscopic quantities of fibreglass, asbestos, coal, etc.
Far more people have died of black lung secondary to coal exposures, mesothelioma secondary to asbestos use, lung carcinoma secondary to cigarette smoke versus those who have died of malignant carcinoma secondary to industrial or occupational exposure to cobalt 60.
Exposure to ANY compound can result in death.
After all, you can drown in 3 inches of water if your drunk. Babies drown in buckets of water because they can't get themselves upright after tumbling into the bucket.
My primary concern was that this thread is over-emphasizing the relative risk of being caught in a terror event.
While it may be politically useful for some individuals to promulgate fear, it is not useful for either our economy or our lives to respond to such fear.
I am not afraid of Al Qaeda nor their prolific posturing over the internet.
As a healthcare provider responsible for my staff, my fellow physicians, and (most importantly) our patients; I can not permit Al Qaeda to paralyze our operations with their satanic verses.
On the other hand, I can examine the relative risks, position our company to respond appropriately with our limited resources, provide advice to appropriate federal legislators from our area, and assist law enforcement with any response strategies.
The most enjoyable aspect to this thread is actually the war gaming scenarios where particular risks are presented.
We, frankly, are better at war gaming than the civilian bureaucrats in various state and county departments.
Collectively, Free Republic can synthesize more people (military, law enforcement, physicians, nurses, fire, healthcare) than probably Top Hat 2.
After all, Top Hat 2 had a bunch of state employees running their scenario. Unfortunately, they managed to leave out the health care community and the physicians who are actually supposed to be first responders, but have been LEFT OUT by the Clinton-loving SOB's running state/county programs in various liberal bastions like Illinois, Massachusetts, and California (BUT I DIGRESS!).
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
