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.

If our FBI/CIA guys are hot on a trail I would imagine they'd want to keep a lid on it.

More than us? Us the US?
Let's hope so, but I ain't betting on it...
And as an aside, why don't they put the hit on SF? Oh, maybe too close to Berkeley and so many of their allies.

You just know it's fake when LA is mentioned.
Few would care and some would cheer if parts of LA were affected.
The idea of terror is to spread terror.

The Arabic message roughly translates the same as the English message, with the requisite insha'allah's and al hamdullah's. The Arabic phrase refers to "Eastern Quarter" and could be used to refer to the entire east coast or to the eastern portion of the city. From the grammar and context, it sounds as if it is referring to that portion of the city or state.
Sorry, my Arabic is a little rusty.

Thanks for your "rusty" imput....it's more than we know! : )

Just to put this threat warning in perspective.
I just found that there were very similar dire warnings last November.
I personally think that AQ is definitely trying, but so far we have been successful in foiling their attacks.

Any Arabic is better than none.
Did you want to take a crack at this?
Check on the translation.
http://www.hagmannpi.com/NBC%20WMD.htm#chemship What chemical attack? Does the Arabic give any more detail than the translation given
To: StillProud2BeFree
Thanks! We all appreciate you.
Got any idea what they are yelling about here?

FWIW

**Actual event took place on
10-7-03 Texas and CA attack with chemical weapons hidden in small aerosol sprayers financial
institutions law enforcement advisory and approx. 22 eyewitnesses in bank Extremely High
COMMENT: male described as Middle Easterner entered a bank in Concord, CA and began spraying a substance in the air from a small aerosol can. Approx. 20 minutes after being exposed, 13 people in bank at the time of dispersal became sick. Symptoms included dizziness, shortness of breath and chest pain. Scent likened to that associated with tabun (GA nerve agent). This event may be a trial run as stated by NE Intelligence Network concerning "perfume" - terrorist word for chemical weapons.

I'm a lot more concerned about the timing of the Lailat Al Qadr on November 23, coinciding with the solar eclipse.
My understanding of Islam is that on the evening of the 27th day of the month, Muslims celebrate the Night of Power or the Laylat-al-Qadr. This is when Muhammed supposedly received the first revelation of the Holy Quran from Gabriel. Islam holds that this is when God determines the course of the world for the following year.
THIS scares me.
To: swarthyguy
That actually happened? You gotta be kidding me.
