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.

Same thoughts here. He is a good chess player.

nwagranny thank you so much for your words of wisdom. I am fortunate in that my husband and I think alike when it comes to preparations. We have enough food to last 2 years, raise our own beef and chickens, etc.

If I may throw in my 2 cents. The #1 thing I would recommend is to move away from a large city. I know that is easier said than done, but, I had to say it :-). Ignore friends/family that think you are nuts. Just tell them this is your new hobby and spending $ on a good supply of food is better than "spending it at the pool hall". If you can afford to stock up enough for them as well do it. As Granny said, if it comes down to it, they will end up at your house since you are prepared. Stock up on water but rotate it as after about 1 year it will taste like the plastic jug it is stored in. Won't hurt you, will just taste funny. Pick up some water purification tablets at the sporting goods store, just in case.

For storing your bulk dry goods (beans, rice, flour, etc.) use food grade tubs, otherwise again, the food over time will have a plastic taste. Here is a good source for getting food grade containers: containers

Get a supply of potassium iodide: potassium-iodide and if it gives you peace of mind get some antibiotics (we got some online a couple of years ago) and keep it in the fridge. Stock up on all your first aid supplies. Can never have too much Hydrogen Peroxide. It's good for tons of things.

Remember, if things get really bad, you'll wants guns and lots of ammo.

Battery powered radio. Batteries keep longer in the freezer so stock up. If you have a smoker, smoke lots of meat (salmon, chicken, turkey) then seal-a-meal it. Tastes great and keeps a long time.

I have more suggestions if anyone wants them, let me know. Sorry this is so long.

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of Creation. The Compassionate, The Merciful,King of Judgement Day.

A message to all of Islamic freedom fighters and true believers. It is now the proper time to prepare for the Hajj and the coming feast.

As for you silly EOM posters who mock EOM and disrespect the Islamic religion, disrespect Allah and Mohammad the end time is very near for your games.

I now begin my travels which will take as much as forty eight to sixty hours to complete and place me in safe and secure locations. EOM shall not post until that time. Your silly Amerikkkan impostors can have the last of their fun.

I see many of your soldiers killed west of Baghdad after attack on compound and the subsequent transport to hospitals. You lose another helicopter, a black hawk and nine murdering infidels. See I tell you.

Thanks, I was looking for info on that globe came across some photos that I had not seen before of the jumpers. It looked like one fellow was already on fire. I looked at them not because of any horror film mentality, but to have a visual reminder of the devastation of that day. Next time, I am in NYC I will go to Battery Park

Note that no-one here (or anywhere else) disputed the fact it was IN that paper..instead, many blasted Debka. But NO-ONE in the USG, FR, or any major news agency argued the fact that the article [saying al-Qaeda threatens to destroy NYC within 35 days, apparently in some form of nuclear blast] WAS published on the front page of what is apparently Italy's main paper.

OK, I'll dispute, or at least ask questions:

What is the evidence that this is a newspaper of major significance? I would think that Rome's biggest paper would be the main one. Is this even the main newspaper of Milan?

I can't find the article, or even a site for the paper, anywhere on the web. I'd like to see the original. Can anyone else help here?

19 Bam pilgrims out of Hajj rituals

05:55:59 È.Ù

Tehran, Jan 8 - The representative of Iran's Supreme Leader to the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization Hojjatoleslam Mohammad Mohammadi Rey Shahri stressed here Thursday that Iranian hajj pilgrims should act as true representatives of Islamic Iran and convery the message of compassion and affection.

He made the remark in a ceremony held at Mehrabad international airport in Tehran to see the first group of Iranian hajj pilgrims off for the hajj ritual.

The ceremony was also attended by the ambassador of Saudi Arabia to Tehran for the first time ever.

The official, who is also in charge of the affairs of Tranian pilgrims during the hajj ritual, invited all Iranian pilgrims to unity and asked them to be vigilant while demonstrating the cultural richness of Islamic Iran through deeds and words during the hajj season.

He further stressed that the Islamic world today was in dire need of solidarity and unity and maintained that Islamic countries including Iran and Saudi Arabia could take major steps towards settling the problems of Muslims throughout the world.

Pointing to the disastrous earthquake in the city of Bam, he said 19 people from Bam who had applied for the hajj pilgrimage lost their lives in the quake while a number of the surviving applicants will join the pilgrims this year.

Some 96,000 Iranian pilgrims are to be flown to Saudi Arabia in 17 days by Iranian and Saudi airlines.

MM/S

imho... "travels" can refer to a martyrdom operation, I have seen beaucoup references to this in the past 12 hours. The hajj to Mecca is fully underway. Others are travelling in the opposite driection. The time line (48-60 hours) suggests he will arrive in the "safe and secure locations" (plural?) which suggests the event he refers to will occur between 10 am and 10 PM on Saturday 10 January. I see an immediate threat to the Saudi Arabian government!!! THEY SHOULD DECLARE A CODE RED ALERT NOW FOR THE ENTIRE KINGDOM!!! An Islamic coup d'etat appears to be imminent in that country. I believe operations against the US are going to be concurrent with the Saudi Ops.

Saturday is frequently bomb day for the religion of peace.

A. They are fresh from the imam's Death to the Jews/Americans/infidels murderous incitement commonly known as "Friday prayers."

and

B. Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath. It is always best to kill Jews when they are observing the Holy Sabbath.


All this from the "religion" that points its bunger at G-d five times a day.

How/why do you interpret this as a threat to SA?

I only ask because my first reaction to his post focused on this quote:

"the end time is very near for your games"

Games...like Superbowl? Why hasn't this guy been tracked down yet?

I also think there was more to this crash. The fact that Tony Blair & his family were staying in the same town as where the flight originated is entirely too coincidental. I think Blair is just as big a target as GWB.

IF this was intended to target Blair &/or Mubarek (and I admit that's a mighty big "IF") then I think someone interfered (ala Flight 93 crashing in PA).

The Egyptian gov't. knows something, but they're not telling. They stepped in WAY too early with the "mechanical failure" story; they were reporting it was not an act of terrorism before the wreckage had even come to rest on the floor of the Red Sea. And look how they STILL deny that Egyptian pilot ditched Flight 990 in a "suicide mission."

Didn't he say he was leaving after Christmas too? I think I remember that. Can someone post all his messages in one place?
