"Assessing Islamist Web Site Reports Of Imminent Terror Attacks In The U.S." By Yigal Carmon*

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Recently there has been an increase in postings on Islamist Web forums regarding imminent large-scale terror attacks in the U.S. However, beyond their general religious leanings, it is not known whether these forums are actually affiliated with Al-Qa'ida. In order to assess the credibility of these threats, there is a need to examine their content. The following are three examples:"

Prolific Self- Proclaimed Internet Terrorist Back on Line with More Threats

Says "The Sound of Truth Never Shuts Down."

    A self-proclaimed al Qaeda operative known for issuing a number of threatening pronouncements on the Internet against the United States, has returned to his "pulpit" with a new on-line name.

    Daleel Almojahid is now using the address caveofdarkness@yahoo.com after his previous account was apparently shut down by his Internet service provider. Referring to his continuing ability to remain on line, Almojahid commented "the sound of truth never shuts down."

    Last week Almojahid (also apparently known as Salah Aldeen) issued yet another letter to the Bush Administration. That document made reference to a letter supposedly sent to the White House about a couple of weeks ago containing a laundry list of requirements for the government.

    In the initial document, the writer warned of deadly consequences if those demands were not met. After the original letter was published, the Department of Homeland Security ratcheted up the terror alert to orange, fearing that terrorists may be attempting to attack the United States using weapons of mass destruction.

    Asked if his threats were in any way related to concerns by the U.S. Dept. Of Homeland Security about a feared new year's eve terror attack, Almojahid responded by e-mail, "If any one tells you he knows the exact timing of the coming strike, know that he's lying. All what you're seeing now from heightened security is just a show to make people think that if there was anything they will catch it. Just like Christmas and the French planes; that was the joke of the day! The coming strike will be nothing like you could possibly imagine. The coming strike will come in the right timing. Don't worry about the timing."

    At his Yahoo group site (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/daleelalmojahid/messages), in addition to the demands issued to the Bush administration, Almojahid has a number of other less threatening, but nonetheless still disturbing, messages.

    One is headlined "Yellowstone Super Volcano"
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/daleelalmojahid/message/8). Written in Sept. 2003 and authored by Dr. Bruce Cornet, it reads in part "Ground temperatures in the northwestern part of the park are apparently on the rise (up to 200 dg F in some places), killing the vegetation. Large areas of the park are now closed, including areas with geysers, because their water temperature is now scalding and dangerous for visitors.

         "If more steam vents appear, that means a continuous pathway for pressure release has been established to the magma chamber. If that happens, the pressure in the magma chamber will continue to drop until it reaches a critical stage when the superheated water within the
magma explodes. When that happens the super-volcano will blow violently, blowing out a chunk of its cap-rock and sending millions of cubic feet of ash into the atmosphere in a Pompeii-like explosion, but 100,000 times worse."

     According to the report, there will be about a two day window before a devastating eruption. The document continued, "That 600 km radius around the caldera will experience total devastation. The next 600 km out may receive as much as five- 10 feet of ash, depending on wind direction. The thickness of ash will decrease away from the super-volcano, but will reach the crop belt in the Midwest (Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, etc.), destroying most of the fertile crop lands of the United States. California will be hit hard by falling ash, with its central wine valley severely damaged (the French will love it). Agriculture will have to shift east of the Mississippi for years. The Garden State will once again live up to its name."

    Following the report, Almojahid commented "Wake up America before you get God's revenge!"

    However, in a telephone interview Cornet (www.monmouth.com/~bcornet/sow.htm) was distressed to learn that his comments were being used in such a manner. He said, "I don't like it one bit and it certainly makes me not want to say anything more about such events unless there is a real time immediate danger. Hypotheticals are not necessary."

    Cornet explained the origin of his statements about Yellowstone Park. After watching a British Broadcasting Corporation report on Yellowstone, he quoted some of the information he had seen in the the documentary and sent it to a friend by e-mail. Cornet said his friend immediately put the information on his web site and it soon made its way onto many other sites as well.

    Cornet said, "I then did my in- depth research and found out there was an alternative viewpoint–a very scientific one. The more I looked into this, I saw Yellowstone has more bark than bite. It is a dying super volcano."

    Cornet said with the exception of those people living in the immediate vicinity of the park, the public is fairly safe. Cornet said while there could be a few more minor eruptions occurring in the future he does not anticipate they will be "tomorrow or next week." He said that any bigger eruptions should be considered as being somewhere between 1,000 and 10,000 years away.

    The time frame was the missing part in the BBC report, Cornet said. While the documentary talked much about what could happen, it neglected to mention that it would be many years in the future, he said.

    The director of Jihad Watch (www.jihadwatch.org), Robert Spencer, is not very impressed with Almojahid's on line threats. Spencer, a writer and researcher who has studied Islam for more than 20 years said (www.jihadwatch.org/archives/2003/12/000472print.html) "I do not take the threats above seriously, although there seem to be other threats that have led to the heightened threat level. Aaron Weisburd at Internet Haganah has discovered that Daleel Al-Mojahid is posting from Dubai, and doesn't seem to have any real connection with Al-Qaeda. I present his ravings above not as the contents of a real threat, but (as I said above) as a glimpse into the jihadist mindset, which, alas, is shared by millions today. (One other thing: are real terrorists using the Internet? Sure.)

NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.

And I have not done that

I will not be baited and dragged into chaos, thank you ;)

I look to you for invaluable answers -g- This one is just a 'feeling' I had, just like your malls ;) Thank you!

Joyride for teens mayhaps?

They may have thwarded the first phase of a planned attack.

No doubt Dweller and I think it was a quite big one

{{{IMPORTANT!}}}

The thing we miss the most are "Homegrown Terrorism" there have been many incidents not making the news but here are a few:

Truck Driver, and Terrorist’Ohio Man Admits ‘Secret Life’ Plotting With Al Qaeda - June 19 — An Ohio truck driver who lived a "secret double life" has admitted to meeting with Osama bin Laden and plotting with al Qaeda to launch new attacks in the United States, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced today.

Hits on Yahoo on subject

The one that scares me the most:

The terror threat at home, often overlooked - Christian Science Monitor ^ | 12/28/03 | Kris Axtman - Posted on 12/28/2003 7:02:10 PM CST by Holly_P - As the media focus on international terror, a Texan pleads guilty to possessing a weapon of mass destruction. - HOUSTON - It began as a misdelivered envelope and developed into the most extensive domestic terrorism investigation since the Oklahoma City bombing. Last month, an east Texas man pleaded guilty to possession of a weapon of mass destruction. Inside the home and storage facilities of William Krar, investigators found a sodium-cyanide bomb capable of killing thousands, more than a hundred explosives, half a million rounds of ammunition, dozens of illegal weapons, and a mound of white-supremacist and antigovernment literature.

The reasoning of fear is because the chem bombs have been discussed recently. The speculation at FR for years about dispersal. Lately the what would these chem bombs contain. We now have our answer - sodium-cyanide! And the fact EOS types like a white-supremacist.

So to me we are looking at the alliance of these homegrown phreaks and AlQ.

And lets not forget this:

Feds fear new anthrax from the new Homeland Security Drill dubbed "Scarlet Cloud" although we are better off than pre 911, we are still very vulnerable to anthrax attack and a large attack would kill thousands

Thank you, we are not alone buck ;)

Sean, if there is danger contained within the ball, will it not be scurtinized heavily? Especially with our new radar detection etc?

THE FACILITY HAD SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOPED AND PRODUCED A SUPPLY OF A VERY STRONG CHOLERA BIOLOGICAL-WARFARE AGENT, WHICH WAS NO LONGER STORED AT THE FACILITY AS OF 1991.

THE FACILITY BELONGED TO THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE BUT HAD BEEN PLACED UNDER THE CONTROL OF SADDAM HUSSEIN'S SON, ((UDAY)) SADDAM HUSAYN.

THE FACILITY WAS SUBORDINATE TO, AND ENJOYED CLOSE LIAISON
WITH, THE SALMAN PAK BIOLOGICAL WARFARE COMPLEX.

9. CONSTRUCTION OF BIOLOGICAL WARFARE PROJECTS 400

11. PROJECT 600 WAS INITIALLY CONSTRUCTED TO PROCESS MILK, BUT WAS NEVER USED FOR THAT FUNCTION. THE FACILITY

With all the info you found our about this place,(as always starting with something, this time your picture) and considering Saddam is rambling off intel, I believe this will all tie in to WMD, how about you Cal?

Your daily inspiration is powerful in more than just helping us here Peg

I think your frogman would be a way to set up the explosives

I know there's a Belle Isle, Michigan too, JP.

In geography to the muslim communitys and what major city is that near?
