Al Qaeda again threatens New York, Washington and Los Angeles - Daily Terror Threat

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.

EOM could be anyone of us. I would think that a check of the IP numbers could prove intersting.

Thanks for the info. Someone traced the poster as follows,

Apparently he's out of Maryland, not a very reassuring location. All I can assume (outside of this being a complete hoax of course) is that something is already in place or does not rely on hijacking a plane.

freedomson, good tag line man.

I'm getting that internal server msg, too. Started about an hour ago.

[Letitring]

There's that Sami Shaban again.

EOM would only be tracable to here if she listed her real information upon signing on. Other than that, we would only be able to trace her by hacking into FR. FR is a closed host.

The Admin Mods can see our IPs though.

Dr. Sami Shaban was listed earlier on this thread...out of United Arab Emirates University.

The Admin Mods can see our IPs though.

Can they make a match with anyone? (please, please, please...!)

[brucecw]

IP numbers are of limited usefulness in many cases.

For one thing, IP numbers for dialup are dynamic, so anyone who dials into a particular server could show up on that IP - even if the server's phone number is a long-distance call from the actual computer, they still would show up as being where the server is, not where they're sitting.

For another, often you can go through several gateways to get to a particular site or server (sometimes the gateway has been hacked, sometimes not) ... with the result that the IP that was logged may show only the last hop in the chain, seeming to place your address half a world away from where you really are.

There are various ways to cross-correlate IP addresses, especially if you have access to ISP records (as law enforcement does in many cases). In general it's difficult for end-users to do much tracing unless the target of the trace isn't trying very hard to hide.

Worth repeating!!!!!

Interesting. So when Norton Internet Security tells me that there was an attempted intrusion throught the firewall, and then I run the IP numbers through the tracer on the Symantec website to an origin in South Korea, the information is not necessarily accurate?

[jerseygirl]

Agreed.

[...] and then I run the IP numbers through the tracer on the Symantec website to an origin in South Korea, the information is not necessarily accurate?

No it's not.

There is, of course, a very good chance that it is accurate, since a lot of users don't know how to hide their true location (or perhaps even care). But no, you can't count on it.

Sorry but that's the way it is.

If the coming attack takes place, it will be before Feb. 2.

Between the "Eids".

Holiday period "airplane" threat was a diversion.

The countdowm clock and "EOM" posts are hoaxes.

Gov't is really concerned about an NBC attack from land or sea.

NEST, Bio/Chem monitoring/response teams remain on HIGH alert.

FEMA on high alert.

NYC, D.C., LA, and Las Vegas remain as most likely targets.

[Labyrinthos]

No apologies needed. Thanks for the info.

[jerseygirl]

It might be worthwhile to check visiting professors/ University of Maryland. (College Park)

I borrowed that Java code from dynamicdrive.com when I made my own countdown clock to put up at my website. I guess I didn't need to create my own since the page is cached at google.

[LayoutGuru2]

When I first encountered the countdown clock I wondered if it was a diversion for possible Christmas/NYE attacks. Remember, the countdown says the U.S. will be hit big sometime before the clock expires.

Good morning, I have been looking around and will list what I have found, I do not know if it will be of use to you.

My eyes don't always allow me to read every word of the long articles, so some may not be as exciting as I thought at first glance.

Last year while looking for musliN cloth, I discovered that there were many muslim sites listed there. You might try the muslin spelling with the search words you are already using.

Google search for 'muslin terrorist', gave several that might have been worth reading, one was:

http://www.worldexpertise.com/18_december_2003.htm

from there I attempted to find the A.Q. University at:

http://www.osac.org (Overseas Security Advisory Council

then went to Google, searched for: Al-Qa ida University for Jihad Sciences

That led me to: Psychology of the "Al Qa ida in action and Learning" at:

http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/readings/al_qaida2.htm

Also check out the 'Click here for war on terrorism at the top of the page.

The above is a long article and from what I could read, had a good feel for what really makes them tick and how the cells work.

Google will ask if you really want 'Al Qaida spelled with an "A"', when you click on the Al Qaeda, you will go to the University links.

For the old reports on the missing plane do a search of the Free Republic archives for:

missing 727 (most of the articles are on this one)
missing plane
missing 737

Yesterday Swarthy Guy and I were talking about storage of weapons by the gov, it would appear that they might well be part of the missing gov property that shows up on the plane lists.

Don't miss reading:

The case of the missing H Bomb.

I kind of think along the same line. I wonder how many foiled attempts there have been in the last couple of weeks.
