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 don't know, but I can try to do some digging.

In addition to the fact that mention was made that any attack would begin in London. Ai Gulf flies directly there. I fell that the origination point is of importance here...

What did you want me to look for? I was just posting a definition of the MILF.

Count me in too, I have a GF grill. : ) Been trying to figure out how to get out of North Tijuana AKA So California for a year. Where would be a nice safe place?

Good luck. I keep getting:

Hmmm... I am looking past hundreds of posts and I have not yet seen the one about coastwatchers. It sounds interesting. I will find it though because I have been back and forth all over this huge thread since early November of 2003. I must say this thread is a challenge to keep up with and it can be dizzying going back and forth to check the original comments and the replies!

"severnaya project readied and prepared for delivery "-- I'd sure like to know what this refers to. Googled, severnaya has extensive listings as a Russian shipyard.

Severnaya also appears to be a web server.

So far I've checked:

Chicago O'Hare, Newark Liberty, D.C. Dulles and Los Angeles. Neither Gulf Air or Egypt Air fly in directly to these airports.

Any others you think I should check?

[WestCoastGal]

Glad you're back safe and sound. I heard on LA news this afternoon that a woman was arrested by the FBI because she insisted on standing by the lavatory near the front of the plane. I didn't get any details nor can I find it on the web, maybe tomorrow. People are going to have to learn that they cannnot fool around on planes in flight any longer.

[Raebie]

Can you check London? Like I posted earlier, EOM indicated that an attack would begin there first...

[Velveeta]

I "think" the originating flight crew does fly the flight all the way to the destination though.

I remember way back around the time of the Egypt Air crash some of the news reports were discussing how difficult it was to communicate with pilots who didn't understand the English flight communication "lingo".

NY

[Velveeta]

They both definitely fly into London.

The Crash of EgyptAir 990

"It was EgyptAir Flight 990, a giant twin-engine Boeing 767 on the way from New York to Cairo, with 217 people aboard."

[Raebie]

That's my immediate concern.

Thanks.

severna - could it refer to Severn river? Did someone also mention something about the north? Check out this page on the Severna.It also shows something about the northwest.Something to think about, http://www.ontarioparks.com/english/seve.html

We have a winner. Egypt Air flies into JFK Airport NY.
