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.

It didn't really sound like anybody was "sure" on the story so I just put it in news.

First, thank you Cal and to the other's pinged!
This snippet from one of the links:
U.S. and allied authorities are still tracking merchant ships believed to be owned or controlled by Osama bin Laden and his worldwide al-Qaeda terrorist network or their sympathizers. Officials said the ships can be used to smuggle terrorists, explosives and other arms--including chemical, biological, and crude nuclear weapons. The ships are also said to have helped finance al-Qaeda and to move heroin manufactured in Afghanistan to transshipment points for Western distribution. The officials also said bin Laden, who may have fled Afghanistan in mid-December under heavy fire from the U.S. and its Afghan allies, could attempt to escape the region aboard one of the vessels. According to recent media reports, Norwegian intelligence sources have furnished the U.S. and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization with a list of 23 cargo ships linked to bin Laden and al-Qaeda. The ships' names, listed owners, likely cargoes, and flag states remained classified Jan. 1.
It is now known OBL has 28
A Yahoo search turned up these:
Here
From UK Guardian (a great source):
Twenty ships have been linked to bin Laden - and any one of them could be sailing towards our shores
'It could make a terrible mess of a city and would be relatively easy to do,' said David Cockcroft, general secretary of the International Transport Workers Federation. 'It is perfectly possible and there are clearly people who want to do it.'
Article is chock full of amazing details:
Despite US naval patrols stopping traffic in the Mediterranean and Arabian waters, such craft could easily evade capture. They are already widely used by international drug-smuggling rings and other criminal organisations.
Interesting links state 15 belonging to OBL and AlQ, work its way up to 20+ and now being reported as 28

Site permanently down.
Sorry guys, we've been informed by our hosting company that they're pulling the plug due to the DoS attacks.
Its really unfortunate that a group claiming to represent the right to freedom of speech would do this.
We live in sad times.
Nope ;)

I believe this gang should join them. The Gitmos would enjoy the company.

With the words "Interior" I was thinking more along the lines of "Inside" something rather than Ministry of Interior. It's important to think outside of the box with these guys - we're dealing with people from a different cultural perspective. In many cases these jihadis can look at things from our perspective (compliments of the American college educations many received) but we often do not see things from theirs, and we miss many clues.
