Al Qaida commander 'anticipates' 100,000 Americans dead in attack
Special to World Tribune.com MIDDLE EAST MEDIA RESEARCH INSTITUTE Thursday, November 13, 2003 Al-Qal'a (The Fortress) an Islamist Internet forum, posted the first of a two-part interview with a person who introduced himself as Abu Salma Al-Hijazi, one of the Al Qaida commanders closest to Osama bin Laden.(1) The interview was conducted in Iraq, south of Faluja. The article notes that Al-Hijazi was surrounded by five masked men carrying missiles as well as personal weapons. The following are excerpts from the interview:
In regard to rumors about a large-scale attack against the U.S. during the month of Ramadan, Al-Hijazi said that "a huge and very courageous strike" will take place and that the number of infidels expected to be killed in this attack, according to primary estimates, exceeds 100,000. He added that he "anticipates, but will not swear, that the attack will happen during Ramadan."
He further stated that the attack will be carried out in a way that will "amaze the world and turn Al Qaida into [an organization that] horrifies the world until the law of Allah is implemented, actually implemented, and not just in words, on His land... You wait and see that the balance of power between Al Qaida and its rivals will change, all of a sudden, Allah willing."
Regarding Al Qaida detainees, Al-Hijazi said: "We follow their situation closely... the collaborating governments will pay the price for capturing these heroes who want to revive the glory of their nation and shake off the dust of humiliation and disgrace."
Al-Hijazi added that the "collaborating and treacherous" governments should know that Al Qaida has a long reach and its members enjoy popularity that will not end just because apostate governments detain hundreds of Al Qaida's members. "As soon as the governments detain one of our people, ten like him join us... this is no secret."
Al-Hijazi said that Al Qaida instructed its members not to confront the governments of Islamic countries and clarified that Americans are the main target of the organization, wherever they may be, in order to cause their disintegration and collapse, even if it takes a long time. "We are patient," he added, "our patience will only end with the collapse of America and its agents."
Al-Hijazi also said: "There is no doubt that the demise of America and its collapse will lead to the collapse of these fragile regimes that depend on it... We will not stop until we establish the Islamic Caliphate and until Allah's law is implemented in His land."
When asked about the recent bombing in Riyadh, Al-Hijazi referred to Saudi media reports — which claimed that in the attack Muslim women and children were killed — as "merely media deceit." He added: "This place was under surveillance for many months. Following a thorough investigation, it became perfectly clear to us that the people living there were at least 300 Americans and a large group of Lebanese Christians who had tortured Muslims there, in Lebanon, during the civil war. After consultation, we decided it was appropriate to attack this place and destroy it, including the people who lived there, because it housed Americans and a large majority of Christians holding Lebanese citizenship.
"Since the Saudi government is aware of the sensitivity of this place and that it is a declared target for Al Qaida, it surrounded it with very heavy security. However, we gave our people in Riyadh a green light to destroy it on top of those inside. Allah facilitated breaking into the place and bombing the part in which mostly Americans stayed. As a result, praise Allah, at least 40 Americans were killed, as well as 27 Christians from Lebanon, and a group of citizens who were Muslim; also, at least 70 Americans were injured, as well as more than 30 citizens of other countries, most of them Christians from Lebanon."
According to Al-Hijazi, a Saudi religious scholar who is wanted by Saudi authorities will claim responsibility in a televised communiqué for the bombing "and for other operations to come." He added that the wills of the attackers will be published, apparently, in the month of Shawwal — the month following Ramadan according to the Muslim calendar - when Al Qaida's main website, Al-Nida, is due to be reactivated.

To all the Muslims our sisters and brothers asalaam alaykom wa rahmat alaah wa barakatoo,
Al Nasser has started to show all over Muslim's land's and the light of Islam has started to shine in the sky's above every occupied part of our land, the sun of a new era is on the way we can see it so clear its just a matter of time its just a matter of time.
The latest news we are getting from Iraq is a real blow to the Americans and their allies. As you have heard the number of Italians that have died in yesterday's mojahideen attack went up to 24 alaah akbaar, but the surprising news that's coming from Baghdad that the amount of mojahideen that are catching up with their fellow's is increasing ten times!! Alaah akbaar, with every Mojahid being caught they are having ten more people joining up that are better than the one before!! Sobhaan alaah.
The other news that the media is covering up is a huge fire fight with heavy guns and some 17 fighters being shot down in the north of Iraq!! And this fight has been going on since last night till the time we wrote this article news bulletin and still going on!!.
We will keep you updated on that story if anything new comes out.
In Saudi Arabia jihad has began against the black family with direct orders from Sheikh Osama bin laden may god protect him and his followers to root it out of the Arabian peninsula and this is due to its worship to the American government and its fight against the mojahideen. Alaah have said (who ever goes with the infidels is one of them) and their blood is for the mojahideen to wipe out.
In Afghanistan the news is excellent the Taliban and the Al-Qaida fighters are taking back part by part and the puppet in the capital Kabul is seeking fast help from the American government and military, lets see how they will help him , the Americans are cowards and they will always be like that.
Sheikh Osama bin laden has given the mojahideen the orders to prepare for a long war with America and its allies also a war on the family of Saud in the Arabian Peninsula and the war has started.
A lot of Muslims around the world wondered why the big Hit that sheikh bin laden has promised the Americans did not come when America started the war on Iraq! Many thought that it would be a great timing as the Americans will get a hit in their home while starting a war and that will be a major factor in making them loose the war! Well the mojahideen and sheikh Osama bin laden didn't put their wishes on saddam and his military because they knew that they would not stand up and fight at all and that the whole thing would fall so fast. But their planes and wish's were put on the jehaad that will start in Iraq after bush declares an end of major combat so that the slaps on bush's face and on the American feeling of power and victory will be so hard that they will start to fall and collapse and that's exactly what we are seeing right now in Iraq the planes are moving exactly the way the mojahideen wanted!!..Sobhaan alaah
Getting back to the question of the big hit and when do we expect it and how sheikh Osama bin laden and the mojahideen are pulling the most excellent string after string. The situation the Americans are in right now couldn't be worse, they are loosing daily and their killed numbers are going up and they will move even up more with time so simply we can say that they have been drown to the trap of Iraq by god just like they were drown to the trap of Vietnam to be defeated a shameful defeat as they have never won a war with their hands ever!
The big hit is surly on the way and the way its going to be done will turn all the eyes of the world to one place which will make them not believe what they are seeing and the timing will be so excellent that America will start collapsing. Its time to cut the head of the snake and chop it off once and for all sending a strong message to whom ever will be left from the American people or the American government that what we said happened, and what we will say will happen too, and what we say we do.
Get ready for a new Islamic era…alaah akbaar
Alaaaaah akbaar

I think that number will be closer to "millions" of other Americans.
...personally I was thinking that they would make very nice public restrooms. Especially since they already have a large quantity of of material perfectly suitable as toilet paper on hand. Just have to tear the pages out of a book instead of off a roll. :)
Whatever. You know I meant in the case of a bio-attack. You think if our nation was being attacked with a lethal virus that we wouldn't suspend the right guarteed to you by the constitution? In what dream world?
Are you from France?
I always take such threats seriously, whether they turn out to be empty or not.
Terrorists should treat teh promise of retaliation of greater force with equal seriousness. Period.
We'll also be looking at reinstatement of the draft, for there is no way the U.S. military could bulk up to be able to take and hold all those objectives _without_ a draft.

I'd be open to restricted borders, maybe involving troops where necessary. I would not allow ANY hospital or school (or any) service to anyone with no background check (to figure out who's who among the million+ illegals already here). I would insist on U.S. passports for all Americans using our air transportation system, even w/in the States, and give them a fast-track line at the check ins and check outs at airports (longer lines and better checking for non-USA passes).
Where are our college kids scaring the turbans off of them?
Our technology can also be used to make your own life miserable, with no hope of ever regaining the blood-won freedoms. Security isn't worth loss of your freedoms!
You desperately need to read works by the Founding Fathers! You and your kind are ignorant about government in general and the foundations of your own government in particular. You MUST regard your fellow citizens as the base upon which all of the wonderful things you enjoy are built. Your fellow citizens are NOT your enemy. It is essential that you strive right to your last breath to preserve our way of life under the guidance of the Constitution. ANY restrictions of those rights is an abdication of what never belonged to the government in the first place.
I keep pointing out that security can be obtained without any loss of rights. If you exchange rights for security, you will have neither. Pay attention here!
The borders can be secured at the borders. This envolves control of border terrain and illegal invaders. It requires no control of American citizens. Technology can be used to detect and capture intruders.
An embedded id chip? Are you insane? A criminal lawyer explained something to be that you also need to know. Criminals must be defended with every means available because the government is interested ONLY in sending SOMEONE to jail for each crime. It is not necessary that it be the person who committed the crime. Attorney Generals are elected. They will be re-elected if their conviction rate looks good. Are these the fellows you want to track you from cradle to grave?
