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.

I have empathy for our conservative Freepers in NY, being I'm from Chicago ;)

[JustPiper]

I think it's most likely NYC,they intend to nuke, since they wanted to use BA to hit the Capitol, in a firebomb/suicide thing. I'd expect them to use the Libyian germ bombs on the West Coast.

Talk about being on the same page. I've posted exactly this a few times, albiet the Libyan part.

East Coast Freepers

Personally I want to apologize to the NY Freeper's for mayhaps our seeming lack of sensitivity. My heart goes out to my new friends on the east coast and I pray daily we are wrong

[JustPiper]

Good idea, adding a fifth of Hennessey to my list!

[JustPiper]

Phew (wiping brow) Very heavy JG! Why is it this is not on the Feds warnings to us?! I mean aren't these alerts based from government?

[Yaelle]

The following is a link to an article in French on another FR thread talking about the whole families that perished together in the Egyptian crash. At the end of the article there was a different version of that nephew's cell phone message from his aunt on the flight. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1052009/posts?page=17#17

Go down to post 22 where I have translated that paragraph to English. It's a little different from the account I read on this thread a day or so ago.

[JustPiper]

And the Senate of this "House" "Capitol" just had a so-called non-event of Hazardous materials

Just peachy -- it's better than being pruney

LOL! Why the hay am "I" laughing, prunes are vital at my age! LOL!

I lived in upstate N.Y. for 41 of my 46 years. I have many family and friends there. Does anyone know about fallout patterns? Do you think it would reach as far as upstate?

[JustPiper]

Americans like their play

Come on now Nemo, I thought you were playing the game the right way now?

You were supposedly offended and alleged you were an American when asked. Then you went off on the tell the admin moderators. Then you disappeared for a few days. Now your back at it again, cut it out. And you still have not answered Cal's questions? Its only fair. For right now your a guest on this thread and a guest in Jim's home.

[Pro-Bush]

A smart terrorist would prepare the groundwork for his attack by setting out fake hints of attack as a decoy, (recent airplane threats) and attack when we least expect it.

I have previously posted that the airplane threats were a distraction, and the real thread is not from planes, but with sleepers already here in the country to launch a combo nuke and chem attacks in multiple locations in the USA.

No need to apologize. I pray that you're wrong also because I'm pretty damn close to NYC.

This guy (Ashraf Hamid) happens to be a recent hire pilot for Flash Airlines, who happens to have trained in the U.S., and was on this doomed Egypt flight....??? It's a looooooong article, but highly interesting.

....snipped...Ashraf Hamid was a dual Egyptian-Canadian citizen in his early 40s. He had lived with his father in Montreal in his mid-teens and graduated from Riverdale High School in Pierrefonds before going back to Egypt to live with his mother and study to be a pilot.

He was aboard Flash Airlines Flight FSH604 on Saturday - not piloting, but as part of a relief crew - when the 11-year-old Boeing 737 crashed in about 800 metres of water after leaving Sharm el-Shekh airport.

Yesterday, a Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs official visited Hamid's two Canadian-born daughters in Brampton, Ont. to tell them their father died and that they had been named in his will, said the pilot's father...

When you say "it" are you talking about fallout? the blast itself? The answers to those questions depend upon where upstate you are referring to.

Since when is Candlemas an occult holiday? I always thought of it in distinctly Christian terms.

MI5 Chief Warns Of CBRN Attack
{{{AlQ's first claim of attack:
UNITED KINGDOM: The director of the British MI5 security service has warned that a biological, chemical or nuclear terrorist attack on a Western city is "only a matter of time." Eliza Manningham-Buller said: "We are faced with a realistic possibility of a form of unconventional attack that could include chemical, biological,radiological or nuclear (CBRN). It is only a matter of time before a crude version of a CBRN is launched on a Western city." She said that intelligence suggests "renegade scientists" have given terrorists the information they need to create such weapons and that terror groups would become more sophisticated. She added: "The threat from international terrorism is with us for a good long time. If this is a war that can be won, it is not going to be won soon. The supply of potential terrorists among extreme elements is unlikely to diminish."

Intelligence Information Warns WMD Chemical Attack Likely

05 Jan 2004, Arab Television Stations Air Bin Laden Audiotape - By Greg Lamotte

CAIRO, EGYPT: An audiotape purportedly made by terrorist leader Osama bin Laden was aired late Sunday in the Arab world. On the tape, the speaker suggests that unless the U.S. occupation of Iraq is ended, the entire region will one day be occupied by U.S. forces.The person on the audio tape calls on all Muslims to wage holy war against the United States and its allies.

The tape also mentions the arrest of an Arab leader who the speaker said was a former collaborator with the United States, apparently referring to ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein who had normal relations with Washington prior to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in August 1990.

The recording is the first attributed to Osama bin Laden in several months. Such tapes have concerned U.S. officials, who fear the tapes could either prompt or be a signal for future terrorist attacks. Such attacks have occurred in the past following broadcasts of tapes purporting to be the terrorist leader. Source: Voice of America
