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.

What might this mean?

"severnaya project"
Something to do with gas and radiation. Not a good thing!!!

Also noticed from Google search that Severnaya is connected with the James Bond movie (and computer game) "Golden Eye".

Anybody see the movie? What happened at Severnaya?

Eerily reminiscent of the "Bojinka Project"???

Moro Islamic Liberation Front

The MILF is the vanguard of the Islamic movement in the Bangsamoro homeland in Mindanao and the neighbouring islands. The MILF was formed in 1977 when Hashim Salamat, supported by ethnic Maguindanaos from Mindanao, split from the Moro National Liberation Front, advocating a more moderate and conciliatory approach toward the government. In January 1987, the MNLF signed an agreement relinquishing its goal of independence for Muslim regions and accepting the government's offer of autonomy. The Moro Islamic Liberation Front, the next largest faction, refused to accept the accord and initiated a brief offensive that ended in a truce later that month. The Mindanao-based Moro Islamic Liberation Front fields around 2,900 troops.

but on the other hand, they are not so fundemental so as to avoid hanging out at the gym with hardbodied female infidels dressed in skin tight, low cut workout garb.

When we visited Arab lands as college students on a tour by ship, our female Arab professor told us how to dress and why. She said that any woman who is even partially uncovered is fair game as a whore in that part of the world. It is considered among the men there that an uncovered woman, especially a sight-seeing one and not one hurrying in a group to her destination, is OK to touch, harrass, or really anything.

Is in flight...menacing words.In the context of everything, we need to consider going to a higher alert level.

Also a shipyard by that name.

In their heyday, St. Petersburg shipyards dealt with as many as 10 different orders at a time. Today the warships for the Chinese constitute Severnaya Verf's only project, apart from a number of repair jobs on old ships and vessels.

It's now or never for these guys!!!

If nothing happens by Feb. 4th, they have been thwarted.

Severnaya - a "Golden Eye" or key was used at a base called Severnaye (base or town, I don't know) that would trigger a satellite that would shoot a lazer beam at any point on the globe producing EMP that would kill all electrical circuits. The "bad guys" had a stolen helicopter that was EMP proof.

[jerseygirl]

It needs to be stopped.

[comingsoon]

EXACTLY. A few more weeks of crossed fingers for me will be enough.

Good point - EOM could very well be some kid who thinks this is one huge joke.

If that's the case, then when the feds or their equivalents in Amsterdam (which as of yesterday was where he was posting from - haven't checked his IP address today) swoop down on him like a falcon on its prey (to steal his metaphor) then he will not find it very amusing. He's talking serious felonies here in just about any country.

But you're right - for all we know this is just a hoax. The converse is also true - it could be real. We just don't know.

Very strange. It's a "Category 2" association.

[buckrat]

Category 2?

[jerseygirl]

I sure hope it is a hoax! From the wording, if true, my first impression would be of impending chemical attack.

[aristeides]

I don't know if "Severnaya" is also a place name, but I recognize it as the feminine nominative singular form of the Russian adjective "severnyj," meaning "northern."

Somebody mentioned Bojinka, which is apparently a word in Serbocroatian. The Slavic languages are pretty close to one another. Does Serbocroatian also have a form identical to or close to Russian "severnaya"?

They would have lost all of their credibility.

They have threatened Armageddon.

If nothing goes down in the next few weeks, they are done.
