Yemeni al-Qaeda vow Dire Revenge to avenge al-Harethi
2004-01-24
They seem to be a little late on this threat, given that their boss has been dead for nearly a year ...
A Yemeni Web site published on Saturday a statement purporting to come from the Yemeni wing of al Qaeda, in which it vowed to attack the United States to avenge the 2002 killing of its leader by a CIA drone aircraft. The statement, which could not be authenticated, said Osama bin Laden’s network had over the past year prepared a "devastating and crushing blow in the United States that will happen soon". It would be in retaliation for the death of Ali al-Harthi, who was killed by a missile fired by the pilotless CIA drone at his car in eastern Yemen. The statement, published on the al-Sahwa and other Islamist Web sites, gave no details about the proposed attack.
That'd be the attack that's supposed to wipe out the USA on February 2nd...
