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.

"Officer Chip Olinger was warming up his car December 26th when he reported seeing a circular object in the sky. He radioed officers Greg Hedrick and Randy Hoover, who also saw it."

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 ..

WELL..two theories:

- It's a diversion. Get us to think that the "big" attack is a 9-11 style hit, and divert our resources away from the main activity/threat.

- Two different groups. Maybe a splinter or affiliate of AQ. (Remember how the one threatening nuke strike is called "Islamic Banyan movement" or some such thing).

Just food for thought..but I like your hunch better than my own as mine doesn't end well.

what's the problem?

do you want the ACLU to be able to depose Zubayda and Khallid Shiek Mohammed as part of this man's trial? Its the same issue with Jose Padilla, how can you give him a trial? Are you going to call the Pakistani ISI agent who tipped us regaring Padilla to testify? He'd be killed 20 minutes after returning to Islamabad after the trial.

No end in sight for high terrorism alert
01/06/04
U.S. officials are giving no hint of lowering the high terror alert as the nation enters the post-holiday period, but they say they're continually evaluating information that still justifies code Orange.

Thanks.

Found that same stranscript last night. The reference, though, is a generic one and no reference is made directly of SU.

WestCoastGal - very well said! I am also getting tired of the FNC heavy focus on celeb stories and ignoring what could be THE largest story of the century.

It amazes me that AQ has threatened (in the Italian paper - FRONT PAGE story fer' cryin' out loud!!) to nuke NYC, and we haven't heard a PEEP about this from FNC, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, NYT, WSJ, etc. WHY IS THIS??! (Apparently they don't think it's credible, but it bears reporting on nontheless. Personally, I think the story was spiked/sat on for obvious reasons (no sense to panic the Sheeples. Just go find the nuke with NEST!)

Yep. I sure am glad I'm up to date on the Crock Hunter, Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson. Even if I DON'T hear the thing that could kill many of us, I'm at least up on my Hollywood gossip!

Shaikh Rahman is blind. He is in jail for the WTC'93 bombings. And I thought I saw a reference to a Falcon Soaring? Falcon Soars? I thought I saw that somewhere. SOAR is short for Shaikh Omar Abdel Rahman (S.O.A.R.)

You amaze me

is chatter decreasing? you think?

"No end in sight for high terrorism alert"

Maybe someone needs to send this to FNC! Like others here, I have heard Dhue, et al, allude to dropping the level several times in the last hour!

[Mossad1967]

Thats why we have been discussing this since Nov. 3.

Those dummies just picked up on this story two weeks ago.

[Hegemony Cricket]

"...up to date on the Crock Hunter, Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson."

No doubt. Not to mention Lady Di. Now there's a breaking story!

[Letitring]

Disgusting, isn't it, not to mention weird, where the mainstream focus is.

[bonfire]

On Greta's show, which is on now, they were just discussing dropping the level. sigh.

[Mossad1967]

Fox news reporter states that a "government official" has told him that the level of threats has dropped since the weekend, and that if the trend continues DHS might consider lowering the alert level.

The silence has begun.

A major attack before the end of the month is highly likely.
