Al Qaida commander 'anticipates' 100,000 Americans dead in attack

Terrorism Forum

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.

I would anticipate millions of theirs dead in a reprisal attack.

****ing Al'Qaeda,they keep on making Islam look bad, as a Muslim , this hurts us really bad. I hope this will never happen, no 100,000 americans need to die, not even one

Why can't the muslims get rid of Al'Queda? There has to be more good Muslims than there are extremist devils. At least require that the bombers complete a successful suicide before attempting one out in public.

Are you sure there are more good ones? By good ones, you mean those that align with the western mentality?

I argree that Al Queada is a black mark on humanity but there are more extremest groups than just Al Queada.
I am not sure if there aren't more Muslims who feel this way but don't act. When they don't against, it will never end.
This was my point a long time ago. What makes one of the largest segments of society not act against extremists? Domination? Turn the other cheek? Pacifism?
This has to do with controlling education and it has been mostly ignored for the last 3 decades. That is a lot of people educated to hate the West.

No, I am not sure there are more good ones. I just hoped that Islam being the "religeon of peace" meant something.

I say bomb them into the stone age. It is time we quit ***** footing with them and give them an all out ass kicking. If this Al-Qaida is so bold and fierce why do they attack and kill civillians. The world rose up and kicked Hitler's ass now it is time to do it again. Oh Yea and the Cleric they know where he is at Take him out!!!!!!!! We have the means USE IT!!!!!!!!!

TWBR,
You are a mulsim?
Now I understand.
All talk, no action.
Here's a tip. Go to the mosque and ask to speak to the congregation (or whatever you call that group) tell them to stop. See what happens.
I think it will answer all the questions for you.

The U.S got its self in the enemy list of Al'Qeada, the U.S aided Al'Qeada so they could fight the Soviets out of Afghanistan, then Osama expanded Al'Qeada's goal to freeing all Muslims who are being oppressed and/or being occupied and the U.S took it the wrong way and broke off.

This quote sums up the whole Islamic terrorist dilemma:

"Those in the Islamic world have for centuries been taught to regard themselves as far superior to the "infidels" of the West, while everything they see with their own eyes now tells them otherwise. Worse yet, what the whole world sees with their own eyes tells them that the Middle East has made few contributions to human advancement in our times."

Hots you said:
"The nerve of it - isn't the USA the greatest nation on the planet? That's what many Americans on her endlessly proclaim to a bored of listening to them world. God bless the United States."

The world need not merely listen to the proclamation.
Anyone with eyes to see can see it with their own eyes.

And just ask the millions of immigrants who come into the USA.
They will tell you the USA is the best country in the world.

USA may not be perfect, but besides ISRAEL (just ask the people who WANT to emigrate to ISRAEL, including American Jews), its the best this world has to offer. (Ask any of the Palestinians living in Israel....would they like to give up their Israeli passports?. None of them do or they would have done so a long time ago.)

Besides h@ts, you don't reveal your home country in your profile. Could it be you have no pride for your homeland or its achievements?

Woolfe,

Not the typical rednecked Cowboy the world sees us as is he?

H@ts,
You would have to live here to understand.
I for one would never choose to live in a "democratic" socialist country such as yours. Socialism...the precursor of Communism...you can have it.
Britain is overrun by Islamic fundamentalists and Britain is suffering all the more for it.

I am not the "typical" American. I have been to Europe (including England) on several occasions and have seen the ignorance of the ugly American. Europe was beautiful as far as the scenery, architecture, etc. , but when it was all said and done, I was happy to go home.

H@ts:
You said:
You have a strange idea of democratic Socialism - it's hardly Communism. It just mean we pay more tax but have a decent health service that's available to all - rich or poor.

If you read Marx or any Communist leader, they all say that socialism is the precursor to Communism. I didnt say socialism was communism, again I said socialism is the precursor to Communism. I am not going to give you a well needed lesson in political science...I urge you to do that yourself.

You said:
Immigrants are piling into all the rich countries of the world for one reason - because they are poor.

This is the bias of someone from a socialist viewpoint. It stems from the myth of the wealthy making the poor poorer and the rich getting richer off their backs.
The true reason people flow into this country like water, is because of our freedoms to make something of themselves. We have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, liberty and justice for all. At least that is what we try to make it as.
The problem comes in when socialists such as yourself tries to convince the poor that they are oppressed and need the help of the government. Meanwhile that government plots to enslave the people.
Canada has tried universal healthcare and it is failing miserably.
I suggest you run some numbers and find out how many lives have truly been saved in your "healthcare" system.

Government has no place intruding on healthcare or any other commodity.
If they want to place some restrictions on corporations to force these companies to provide healthcare...I think that is a better solution.

I don't want government intruding in my life as much as possible...as long as I abide by its laws.

I am glad you love England. I am afraid for you and everyother European country, now that you have adopted the European Union...it's just one more step in a socialist/communist world government. From the BBC news, the EU doesnt seem to be all that popular...as shown by the recent elections of the EU parliament...hardly any one showed up to vote.

sowhatsthetruth: If you read Marx or any Communist leader, they all say that socialism is the precursor to Communism. I didnt say socialism was communism, again I said socialism is the precursor to Communism. I am not going to give you a well needed lesson in political science...I urge you to do that yourself.

I couldn't care less what Marx said. England is not going towards anything like communism and has over the last 30 years moved further and further away from Socialism. It has embraced market capitalism as much if not more than any other country in Europe. Some good, some bad.

Socialist viewpoint? Myth that the wealthy make the poor poorer? What are you talking about? Immigrants want a better life in a richer country because there's wealth and jobs and yes, if they come from an oppressive country freedom from living in fear.

Britain has a good health service and rich and poor get get good medical health care regardless. The fact that we want everyone to have access to good health care is something most British people are proud of. It's what make Britain the greatest nation on the planet. So much more civilised than the USA.

H@ts,

You said:

So, how would you describe the EU?

You said:

Again, the snobbery, and thats ok, I can handle that, but....

I've seen Parliament sessions on c-span in their entirety. It's more like watching Benny Hill or a Monty Python movie than serious lawmaking.
In fact during Parliament recently, an irate Brit threw a condom full of purple talcolm powder at Tony Blair and it stopped the session.
I wouldn't call these antics "civilised."

my cousin was wounded in the bombing in Riyad
but i hate USA to death
let it be 1000000 americans dead !!

Your terrorists leaders would be proud of you. When are you signing up?

i am not signing up
i am not a terrorist
i have no leader
but i wish that 1000000 americans would die in the next attack
