Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles

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.

Your post #5880 provided a picture from http://www.hostinganime.com/battar/b1.jpg. Do you recall what the picture was? The website is no longer available. Freeper Fair Opinion also posted pictures of a building and some automobiles parked outside of that building from that same website last night. I did a search from Fair Opinion's post which contained the word Kateb which is Lebanese. Amine is the name of the former Lebanese President.

In the properties of your post I see the word battar which has various meanings. Some are:

1)an anti-tank missile

2) Sayf a-Islam al-Battar (Islam’s sharp sword)

3)al Battar = sword of the prophets

I am wondering if this was one of those messages that Al Queda puts up and takes down quickly in order to send out a message to their followers.

Jose Xavier Hernandez (Joe X. - The founder of the "EOM and Daleel" Yahoo group) clued me into setting my browser's encoding settings so that I could properly view the Arabic posts at CALL19. Here is a rough machine translation of Post #4 at the CALL19 Yahoo group. Nothing earth shattering.
