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

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.

Philippine Brand of Islam Faces Foreign Influence

COTABATO City, Philippines (Reuters) - After 15 years, Amir Baraguir has taken up smoking again.

He doesn't particularly enjoy it, but he likes the message of defiance it sends to Muslim clerics on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao who are trying to instill a much stricter version of Islam than he and many others are used to.

"WHO: Lab Tests Rule Out Ebola in Zimbabwe"
AP ^ | 12-30-03 | ANGUS SHAW


Posted on 12/30/2003 4:03:30 PM PST by Indy Pendance


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) -- Laboratory tests have ruled out the possibility that an Angolan trader died of the feared Ebola virus in neighboring Zimbabwe, the U.N. health agency said Tuesday.

The South African National Institute for Communicable Diseases tested samples sent by Zimbabwe on Tuesday, World Health Organization spokesman Dr. Welile Shashas said.

"To the immense relief of everyone, this was not Ebola" or a similar hemorrhagic fever, he said.

Zimbabwe health authorities announced over the weekend that an Angolan national who died in the resort town of Victoria Falls on Christmas day had exhibited symptoms consistent with Ebola.

The announcement touched off fears the highly contagious disease could spread from the continent's equatorial regions to southern Africa for the first time.

Health officials in neighboring Botswana, Namibia and Zambia have been on alert since the weekend.

The actual cause of death remains to be determined. But confirmation that it was not Ebola has allowed emergency health teams gathered at Victoria Falls to lift quarantine restrictions imposed on staff who tended to the patient, Shashas said."

"Italy bans flights over Rome"
UPI via Drudge ^ | 12-30-03


Posted on 12/30/2003 4:56:29 PM PST by Indy Pendance


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ROME, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- The Italian authorities Tuesday banned flights over Rome until Jan. 6 as a security measure against terrorist attack, the Italian news agency Ansa reported.

This was part of a heightened state of alert in Italy, Ansa said.

On Dec. 24, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi told a local Milan paper that terrorists had planned to crash a hijacked plane into the Vatican on Christmas Day.

The paper published no details, and there was no attack. But Ansa said the alert continues."

I just heard this on the radio

UNLICENSED DOCTOR (Sahid Sheik) administers 700 Flu Vaccines:
http://www.komotv.com/stories/29041.htm

Norm Maleng has filed nine charges of practicing medicine without a license against a Bellevue registered counselor, Shahid Sheikh.

Maleng says Sheikh ran a Bellevue Corporation, Med Sources, Inc., and offered flu shots throughout the area, including two local television stations.

The prosecutor says Sheikh represented himself as a doctor, but he is not a medical doctor and has not been licensed in Washington state to provide inoculations.

Sheiks reportedly obtained the flu vaccine from a West Seattle doctor and either Sheikh or his employees vaccinated at least 700 people

"Philippines to deport two [American] al-Qaeda ‘sympathizers’"
Manila Times ^ | December 31, 2003 | William B. Depasupil


Posted on 12/30/2003 3:59:19 PM PST by witnesstothefall



ARTICLE SNIPPET 1: "Immigration Commissioner Andrea D. Domingo and the Philippine Navy flag officer in command, Adm. Ernesto de Leon, both announced that African Americans Jamil Daud Mujahid, 56, and his brother, Michael Ray Stubbs, were arrested by a joint military and immigration team on December 13 in Tanza, Cavite."


ARTICLE SNIPPET 2: "Mujahid, however, said he met with various private organizations here to set up financing from US-based Muslim groups to build schools, homes and improve farms in Muslim communities in Mindanao.

Stubbs, on the other hand, is an air-conditioning technician at the Lawrence Livermore National Library, which is being tapped by the US Department of Homeland Security in researching ways to counter biological and chemical terrorism.

Intelligence officers claim Stubbs is a computer expert who maintains suspiciously substantial bank deposits."
