Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat
Debka ^ | 11-3-2003 | Staff

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.

Not much danger of fallout, since most of the radiation would go out to sea. Right?

That's not my statement. I was responding to Letitring.

My husband said the same thing to me last night. He said they wouldn't be scrambling to down a plane if they had something big and that they are just going for targets of opportunity right now. I just feel that this time around there's more than we know. Last night on the news I thought I heard Tom Ridge say he wouldn't let a family member fly. I found that rather unsettling after he told all of us to go about our business over the Christmas holidays.

Almohandis, a married father of two who works as a biomedical engineer at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Riyadh, told inspectors he was traveling alone on business when he arrived at Logan Airport on Saturday afternoon on Lufthansa Flight 422.

that was posted on FR, Bush asked Ridge if he would let his son fly on these air france and BA flights without marshalls and the increased security. He said NO, and that was the basis for all of the delays, cancellations, etc.

if this nuke thing was credible (implying we had good intel on it), more stuff would be happening right now, the knowledge could never be kept secret.

I don't see anyone making attacks on you. It would be helpful if you would stop accusing people of making attacks on you when they haven't been.

Family, friends, and business partners didn't. But if I cave now, then they died for nothing.

You won't let that happen Cal ;(

The articles highlights:

Christopher Ruddy - Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2002

Let me state for the record that FEMA is moving ahead with plans to create temporary cities that could handle millions of Americans after mass destruction attacks on U.S. cities.

Though the agency has denied the program to some of our readers and has made misleading claims about NewsMax’s original story to members of the press, the basic facts of the story remain unchallenged.

"FEMA Preparing for Mass Destruction Attacks on Cities," revealing that FEMA was seeking bids from three major real estate and/or engineering firms to help prepare for the creation of the emergency cities, using tents and trailers – if an urban area is attacked by NBC (nuclear, chemical or biological) weapons.

John O. Edwards
Monday, July 15, 2002
FEMA, the federal agency charged with disaster preparedness, is engaged in a crash effort to prepare for multiple mass destruction attacks on U.S. cities - including the creation of sprawling temporary cities to handle millions of displaced persons, NewsMax has learned. FEMA is readying for nuclear, biological and chemical attacks against U.S. cities, including the possibility of multiple attacks with mass destruction weapons.

The agency has already notified vendors, contractors and consultants that it needs to be prepared to handle the logistics of aiding millions of displaced Americans who will flee from urban areas that may be attacked.

The agency plans to create emergency, makeshift cities that could house hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Americans who may have to flee their urban homes if their cities are attacked.

Ominously, FEMA has been given a deadline of having the cities ready to go by January 2003 – in about six months.

RE: fingerprinting etc. I totally agree BUT I think everyone needs to be checked. It's so unfortunate that the three countries with flights in question, Mexico, France and Great Britain are exempt.

Thank you for the information, will check it out. I'm worried about the possibility of one of the pictures found on New Years Eve appeared to be a Lufthansa plane. These were the three pics of what appeared to be Luxor in LV, Staples Ctr in LA and the 747 that tubavil worked on to find part of the planes id.

Will try to check what other flight numbers are routed to cities that may be in danger.

Reactivation of Atomic Power Plant Biblis B not Granted

The Hessen Ministry for the Environment has prohibited the reinstatement of production of electric energy in the atomic power plant Biblis B. Today in Wiesbaden, the ministry explained the main reason for the decision was that security tests had not yet been completed. The energy company RWE had announced yesterday that the atomic plant was to be reactivated soon, after it had been shut down in February after developing a leak in one of its pipes.

Wondering where these encampments are proposed to be located? I suppose it depends on the location of the attack.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all here for their hard work on this. Who knows we all may be on to something. I've said it before, it's better to take the bull by the horns rather than put our heads in the sand!! I'm sick and tired of the cable news covering the Britney, Michael, Scott, Kobe, Croc Hunter and their like. If we wanted to see that we can watch "E", Access Hollywood and "ET" etc. I turn on Fox etc to watch for news and this threat is the news. I understand that we shouldn't scare everyone, but they need to be a little more serious. /rant

847 has a wide range here but in the NW suburbs...could use some input here ladies? We change many from 708 to 847. Towns like Arlington Heights but it can be on the other side of O'Hare also.

Ah, here we go:

Thing that concerns me and gave me a connect-the-dots brainfart is O'Hare is 847...so people someone please compare the arae code to a major airport also
