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

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 just read the translated warning. Looks like Yoda is busy stirring up the Jihedi...

This worked well during the Iraq war: put "debka" in the title field when you post the article.

Those of us who are at best amused by debka will then see it and mostly leave the thread to the speculators.

We have em backed into a corner and you know what an animal does when backed into a corner.

Well, if it's anything like a opossum, they'll bare their teeth, hiss really loud, then fall over into a coma-like state...

HUH??

Wow, your all fired up over this one. Calling tubavil a jerk for merely making an observation.

I just googled that name and came up with this...

No, look at what his comparison was - that we are more hostile to Debka than al Qaeda. Think that is a fair comparision?

It was pretty scary. It was a vanity entitled LAST CALL FOR MUSLIMS, or something like that... heavily paraphased, the poster wrote for Muslims in the Northeast area (I think) to get out of there.

The poster linked to an Al Queda Yahoo! group. If one of the mods can confirm that they called the FBI on this person, I'll breathe easier.

HUH??

It's from a link on the previous page.
Northeast Intelligence Network

See post 66...

Thanks for the link

[Nataku X]

Looks like a guestbook of some sort... and he does link to the Yahoo group I mentioned above.

If he's a fake, he should get a stern visit from the FBI and some good jail time.

Go look at the link in 66....scary stuff.

I clicked that link and my Explorer crashed, most bizarre, guess I am not supposed to look at that site, then again, I don't read arabic.

I've been perusing it "at a distance" for some time, and it appears "credible", for what it's worth. It's run on donations and deals most often with specific postings on Arab sites. Granted a lot of this never comes to pass, but to write off this man's work would be tantamount to President Bush writing off the morning "threat matrix" with all the BS they have to filter through...

At worst, these postings are all smokescreen, but we're still getting a distinctive look at the continuing desire (in their hearts) of al Qaeda and its sympathizers to destroy the United States.

At best, attacks are being foiled.

That site is trying to download something when I visited it.

[Dog]

I got hit with pop ups....when I went there..

[concerned about politics]

Go look at the link in 66....scary stuff.

The clock was creepy, but I wish I knew how to read the squiggles.

[Pro-Bush]

But go ahead and make your despicable moral equivalence comparison here, jerk.

How rude...Now I know why you call yourself dirtboy.

What's it going to take for America to really get serious about punishing foreign countries that harbor Al Qaeda operatives? Is it really necessary that America should suffer another attack on the scale of 9-11, or larger?
