A Compilation Of Archived Terrorist Threats

Against The United States From The Arabic Forums

By Jill St. Claire

 

” I confirm that there is a hitting coming to America the sheikh Osama directing it and he will be God Willing strong and creative and will form a reason at the end of America”

-The sheikh Bashir

Over the course of the last three years, I have been privy to much intelligence about terrorist threats being made against the United States.  The following is a compilation of the threats that I have seen, as well as other intelligence that has come my way from various sources.  There is SO much information, I cannot possibly cover it all, however, I offer the following to help us all have a better understanding of the terrorist threats that have been made, and why there is a possibility that they still may come to pass, regardless of when they were made.

I present these archived threats, NOT to instill fear, but to help you gain a better understanding of the threats that still exist.  I am hoping that the reader absorbs this information, and makes an informed decision on how best to prepare themselves, and their loved ones in the likely event of a catastrophic terrorist act in our Homeland.

The Al Qaeda terrorist network is a patient lot of people.  The more patient they are, the more time that they have to strategically plan their next terrorist attack.  With their patience, their deep seeded hatred towards Americans grows, as does their propaganda campaign to gain supporters.  Al Qaeda has very rarely made a terrorist threat that they do not carry out….time has proven this.  Al Qaeda also will warn their enemy of an impending terrorist act if their demands are not met….although the consequences for not meeting those demands may occur a few years later…Al Qaeda NEVER forgets…they fester their hatred, and strike when they are ready!

Al Qaeda is known for its elaborate training camps and manuals, as well as their dry runs, (carrying out a similar attack on a smaller scale).  Their manuals include detailed information on weapons, explosions, surveillance of targets, kidnapping, physical training, etc. They are also known for their extensive planning and preparation of their terrorist acts.

Al Qaeda’s supporters are many, and their network has touched a large percentage of the countries in the world, and at the same time, they continue to obtain the financial support to carry out and plan their terrorist acts. They have amassed a complex and varied way of communicating with each other.  The Internet has given Al Qaeda new avenues in planning their next attack, not only with the passing of embedded messages through images coded with text, which is undetected by the naked eye, but with key-coded messages, among other means.  But, the Internet has also provided a means for Jihadist's to discuss and plan terrorist acts, as well as pass other pertinent information to assist in those plans, (maps, schematics of US Military bases, ships, information on weapons, security, etc). The Internet has also opened up a whole new media to spread propaganda to boost the psychological terrorism that Al Qaeda is becoming quite good at. 

And that folks, is where it gets difficult...

Where do you draw the line on what Al Qaeda is really threatening, or what is just Al Qaeda throwing out propaganda to try to frighten the Americans?  You research, and research....but there is not an  intelligence analyst that can tell you that anything that appears to be a terrorist threat, actually IS an imminent threat, with 100% certainty. However, through research and experience, one can make a reasonable assumption between propaganda and an actual threat.  Are we always right?  No....But dealing with the threats that I have seen, I would rather be 100% wrong!

The following is what I have compiled from my archives in my data base.  In my opinion, the pieces of the puzzle are starting to come together.  Here is some of the intelligence from my work that I feel shows the BIG picture of what the threat REALLY is to the United States at the hands of Al Qaeda.

I firmly believe that for us to know what lies ahead with Al Qaeda, we need to look back at what has already been said.

In no particular order of relevance, I offer the following from my database of suspected terrorist website posts, and other intelligence that I have accumulated over the last three years.  What I present is not to instill fear, but to inform the reader of the potential danger, in hopes that they may be better informed on what we are up against, so that they make informed decisions on how best to keep themselves and their loved ones safe, or at the very least, better protected from a terrorist attack.  It is not a question of ‘if’, but when, where, and by what means Al Qaeda will hit the US again.

I believe that there is a very real possibility that the US will be hit be some sort of weapon of mass destruction in the not too distant future.  I also believe that our ports, electrical grids, transportation systems, and communications systems are at risk.

Al Qaeda knows that when they do hit the United States, there will be retaliation, probably unlike anything any of us have seen.  Knowing that, Al Qaeda’s plan is to hit the United States hard enough to cripple us to the point that we would not be able to retaliate immediately. From the Arabic forums, “If there a hit was to America .... And this expected .......Then she will be an overwhelming hit ... A destructive ...To America any chance does not maintain for the answer”

Before I begin, I should note that the posts from the Arabic forums are presented here in their loose (raw) translated form.  At times, they may be hard to understand, and they may also have several spelling errors.  I have posted them just as I saw them….the errors are not mine, but those from the translation software. 

Infiltration of United States Borders

Al Qaeda has indicated that some of their cells have entered the United States crossing the Canadian border during the electrical outage on the East Coast in the summer of 2003.  Securing the Canadian and Mexican borders has always been a problem, and intelligence suggests that an illegal alien can enter the US from the Canadian border for as little as $200.00.

Illegal aliens coming into the US from the Mexican border have more of a selection on how to enter illegally depending on how much money they are willing to spend. Reportedly, Al Qaeda is in at least 40 US states.

Intelligence suggests that Al Qaeda has or currently is considering plans to smuggle nuclear materials in the US through the Mexican borders.  Several Al Qaeda detainees have indicated the use of “Mexico as a staging are to acquire and stage chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear material”.

Last July, (2004) US intelligence reported 25 Chechen militants entered the US via the Mexican border.  The militants allegedly belong to the same militant group responsible for the Russian School Hostage crisis in which several hundred died. 

Al Qaeda’s Terrorist Training

Al Qaeda has a multitude of training camps and extensive training manuals.  Their members have received training in such things as  bomb making, weapons of all sorts, the art of kidnapping, making and administering poisons, rigorous and extensive physical training, the making of cell phone and remote bomb detonators, etc. 

The following links are to posts that show the some of the different types of training that Al Qaeda uses.

Terrorist training includes the use of helicopters to access higher floors in a building, and the breakdown of elevators:

“If the enemy is my enforcement by the borders of the higher floor, he may fight ripe a more solid from the normal status or escapes on the ceilings of the other buildings.

You she is used the ropes, ladders, drainpipes, as ropes, helicopters or the ceilings and adjacent windows buildings for the arrival of the higher floor or building ceiling. In some of the case, you can climb on the shoulders of the other soldier and draws yourself. You can link abstention hook to an one since the end of a rope and pelts the hook to the ceiling, where he can hinder a thing for the carrying of the rope he was implemented.

The defensive doing : the supporter distribution, the distribution of the weapons, the building Tdshim, digging trenches or gaps between the chambers, the breakdown of the elevator, the insurance of a quantity from an Altdshimat and the provision and the ammunitions, the establishment of an offensive plan and the notification of each element by his role in the suitable time, the closure of all introductions and specially the basement, the construction of a secret Tlqiat, snaring the ways or the crossings leading to the building, the residence of a secret outlet, defensive tactic Thzir and notification of all role element him .” LINK

Make no mistake…. Al Qaeda’s cells are well trained in a number of areas including: surveillance, methods of disguises, carrying, concealing, and maintaining various weapons, bomb making, kidnapping, and methods of securing detonation of bombs, etc. Training manuals are released on the Internet several times a year, with a large number of downloads.

Advance Warning of an Attack and the Cave of Darkness

Al Qaeda has stated that Americans will be given notice a few minutes before their "BIG" attack on the United States so that all can view it on their televisions.

A spokesperson for Al Qaeda, the Jihad Falcon, (now thought to be deceased), announced, "We will inform you toward our blessed auspicious hitting about minutes !! 

Later in the same message, he states, " And he is from the fairness that you see that for our knowledge that you will return to your burrows because we will inform you toward our blessed auspicious hitting about minutes so that becomes possible to you that you see your destruction the lessons of your satellites and its time will have cross the atmospheres of the seventh sky to the Garden of Bliss and your nations went to GATT the hell and the fate to their leaving what a bad Abida under by a deterrent ( Alkhzr masters ) they rule them and follow they them the hell way and the way what a bad ."

Daleel_Almojahid, a self proclaimed member of Al Qaeda posted a slightly different version of the Jihad Falcons post the following day, calling the next attacks name, the 'Cave of Darkness'.  He stated the following, "And it will be fair enough for you to see that for us knowing that you will run away hiding in your underground caves we will give you a prior few minutes notice before our blessed attack so that you will be able to watch your destruction with your own satellite as we would be by then have passed the sky's of the seventh sky to heaven and your nation to the fires of hell, and what and end for letting you govern them and move them to the direction of hell and what a direction!"

Probable Time of Day and Day of the Week For An Attack To Occur

It has been stated on the Arabic forums that it is likely that a terrorist attack will occur on a Tuesday or a Friday, (the 9-11 attack and the bombing of the USS Cole, as well as others, occurred on a Tuesday) between the Call to Prayer at dawn and the Call to Prayer at noon.

Cities and Other Areas At Risk To An Attack

Throughout the last three years, several cities and areas in the United States have been specifically threatened by the Jihadi's. Here are a few examples of the threats that I have seen:

-         She warned an unknown Islamic organization claims nineteenth movement of the Islamic clarification from the occurrence of imminent attacks in Washington and New York and Los Angeles.

-         One of one of New York skyscrapers Almaghdin climbs and sprays a stronger item from the anthrax .. About what other carry out the explosion of a nuclear bag near the White House in Washington ...

-         About what another carries out the explosion of another bag the nuclear one of America establishments canteens in another city ..

-         And another carries out the explosion of a dirty bomb in Las Vegas ..the preparation for a terrific hitting takes place in the utmost of the boldness .

And the unbelievers will suffer in this destructive hitting according to our calculations, more than is 100.000 of the losses in the souls

If there a hit was to America .... And this expected .......Then she will be an overwhelming hit ... A destructive ...To America any chance does not maintain for the answer

Here is a list of some of those targeted :

Cities:

New York City

Washington DC

Wall Street

The Silicon Valley

United Nations

Manhattan

White House

Las Vegas

Los Angeles

San Francisco

Areas At Risk:

 Schools

A recent discovery ion Iraq of a computer disk with schematics of six US schools combined with the intelligence suggesting that 25 Chechen militants, who are allegedly associated with the same militants responsible for the Russian school massacre, illegally entered the United States through Mexico last July, suggests that our children and our schools may be  at risk of being part of a terrorist strike.

Schools on the disk were located in California, Oregon, New Jersey, Michigan, Georgia, and Florida.  The FBI has down played this stating they did not believe that the disk represented a terrorist threat.  However, the Department of Education released preparedness information to the schools after this information was released.  LINK

Warning and The Importance of Timing of the Next Hit

Al Qaeda has stated that they will give a few minutes warning before the next catastrophic hit in our homeland. They have also indicated that they know that the next BIG terrorist act committed in the United States will have to be huge because they know that the consequences will be grave to Middle Eastern countries, sympathetic to Al Qaeda.  They also fear that the United States may retaliate with a nuclear bomb. 

Take a look at some of the posts:

“We will inform you toward our blessed auspicious hitting about minutes !!Allah is the greatest…. the time is now an essential element of this coming disaster and he is the more importance of any crisis she passed at any time through the human history…. And he is from the fairness that you see that for our knowledge that you will return to your burrows because we will inform you toward our blessed auspicious hitting about minutes so that becomes possible to you that you see your destruction the lessons of your satellites….”

In other words, they are going to warn us minutes before the hit us so that we will turn on our TV's and watch their destruction and killing of Americans.

Continuing…

“And he is the name of the coming operation who will stop and their nations but and destroys them to the permanent eternity and that we are explosive and lament in advance to what will injure the humanity from the pains of its considering but it is easier that we from the enslavement of continents have by its capture the European a Wntatthr in advance of the American people and the nations but you stopped the supporter station as governments and the spectator attitude nations And you left the nation Alkhzri controls the fate of the whole world it .

The absurd playing with the fate of the globe is not by the easy matter and we estimate that and think it about superior accuracy a superiority imagined you and the calculation of the losses took place in advance then a less found it by a lot and she is from the kind capable of its endurance .”

Economic Terrorist Targets In or Affecting The United States

Al Qaeda is watching our economy very closely…everything from our national debt to Wall Street to the Internet to power outages.  Osama bin Laden has made it perfectly clear that he intends to try to collapse our economy. Here are a few examples of the posts regarding our economy:

…the weapon of the destruction of the oil facilities now, it is considered from the severest kinds of the weapons killing of an economy and a life the people countries of cross and the pig and that the oil prepare their vertebral column but their life's pillar all, this weapon that does not know why overlooked or the militants disregarded it until now especially if we knew that all factories and planes and battleships and ships and ships and cars and carriers and tanks the people armies of cross and the pig but approves by a big percentage if they were not totally on the Arabs oil generally and the Gulf oil in particular, because of the conspiracy of the people governments of apostasy and the hypocrisy in the Arab countries with the people armies of cross and the pig, then why the militants allow the staying of this vital artery but the artery the basis for the life of this dregs from the people of cross and pig so that they kill the Muslims by it every day as it is .

And for you that you imagine what is the one that will dwell in the stock markets and the international shares from disastrous results with the insult of the prices rise of oil and the oil if what destroyed the ports providing lines by the oil for the exportation but for you that you imagine what is the one that will dwell in the world economy in general and the worn American economy originally especially …   LINK 1  and LINK 2

Some of the areas threatened or to be concerned with which could affect our economy are:

Wall Street

Al Qaeda is painfully aware of different triggers to upset trading on Wall Street.  They believe that factors such as the destruction of oil pipelines in the Middle East will drive up the cost of a barrel of oil (which it has), the massive power outages on the East Coast and parts of Canada last year (which they claim credit for), and other factors will all play a part in helping to see Wall Street collapse, as well as the US economy. 

The following posts about Wall Street explain some of it:

Oil Supply

As previously stated, the destruction of oil pipelines in Iraq and other areas of the Middle East has affected our economy already.  The rising costs of gasoline have had an across the board ripple effect all over America.  Just about everything that we purchase, from groceries to building materials has seen a rise in cost over the last two years.  A good majority of the reason, is the rising cost of oil.  Al Qaeda knows that, and has continued to strike at oil pipelines to keep the price of oil up. link
