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.
Here it is (shivers)
{{{will accommodate 2,600 passengers on its first trip, scheduled for January from Southampton, England, to Fort Lauderdale, Fla.}}}
Was that a picture of QMII, the comparison?
QM2 is more than twice as long as the Washington Monument is tall (550 ft)
QM2 is 147 feet longer than the Eiffel Tower is tall (984 ft)
QM2 is more than 3 ½ times as long as Big Ben is high (310 ft)
QM2 is only 117 feet shorter than the Empire State Building is tall (1248 ft.)
QM2 is more than three times as long as St. Paul's Cathedral is tall (366 ft.)
QM2 is as long as 36 double-decker London buses (31 ½ ft. each)
The Queen Mary II, the biggest and most luxurious passenger ship ever built, was to take to the seas for the first time 25 September 2003 for a series of tests ahead of her maiden voyage in January.
Queen Mary II - Specifications and Queen Mary II - Plans / Schematics
The predicted date was 2-1 or 2-2 and this clicks
The date of this article and this paragraph are chilling. Our government is 'so' certain we will be attacked by chem/bio, its as if they 'know' we will. Many said here when we had the string of 'viri' on many of the Cruise ships back in 2001-2002?, that it was a 'test run' for using ships to disperse bio/chem and now you find all this info on germ bombs and its being bandied around as the new catch phrase today.
Good question!
Also: Does anyone know French? What does this mean: the off-shore islands of {{{Ile d'Yeu and Belle-Ile. }}} Belle is female? but Belle-Ile reminded me so much of 'belly'
