Terror threat to restaurants as Al Qaeda calls for attacks on government workers in D.C.

DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

D.C.'s busy bars, restaurants and lunchtime hangout spots could be the next terror targets as wannabe jihadis seek to kill U.S. government workers.

WASHINGTON - The terror group tied to the Ft. Hood killings and the Christmas Day undies airbomber urge wannabe American jihadis to open fire on crowded restaurants in the nation's capital to massacre U.S. government workers.

The advice appears in "Inspire," the latest issue of a slick propaganda publication by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Osama Bin Laden's franchise in Yemen.

"A random hit at a crowded restaurant in Washington, D.C., at lunch hour might end up knocking out a few government employees," Yahya Ibrahim writes in the 74-page jihadi how-to magazine.

"Targeting such employees is paramount and the location would also give the operation additional media attention," Ibrahim added.

Other trash talk came from "Samir Khan," an American who came to AQAP from North Carolina, who produces the publication and wrote that he is "proud to be a traitor in America's eyes."

"This guy is bad news, and given the fact that he helps publish AQAP trash, he certainly spreads a lot of it around, too," said a senior U.S. official.

According to a copy of the magazine obtained by the SITE intelligence group, AQAP also urged those bent on murdering for Islam to use everything from pickup trucks to improvised pressure-cooker bombs to kill.

The trucks can be fashioned into "the ultimate mowing machine," with steel blades welded to the grill to "mow down the enemies of Allah" by running down Americans on crowded sidewalks "to achieve maximum carnage" in a "martyrdom operation."

"This method has not been used before," advises AQAP in its "Tips for our brothers in the U.S."

Ibrahim praised the killings of a dozen victims at the U.S. Army post in Texas allegedly committed by accused homegrown terrorist Maj. Nidal Hasan, who was in contact with and inspired by U.S.-born AQAP cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.

In 1993, Pakistani killer Mir Aimal Kasi opened fire on CIA employees at a stoplight, who were targeted because their cars were in a turn lane for the agency's Virginia headquarters.

Oh yes, D.C., the land of strict gun policies. That's why the 9/11 flight hit the Pentagon and not the Capitol.

Most government employees eat at government cafeterias. If Al Qaeda did this, they would knock out a bunch of tourists.

It depends on the location of the agency you work for. Most agencies
cafeterias suck since they contracted most of them out back in the
80's. If you're close to restaurants, its a better deal. I go to
restaurants downtown where I'd say 90% of the customers are feds.
King Arthurs and Archibalds are full of feds during the lunch hour.
Check how many folks have their ID tucked into their shirt pockets.

Well, we don't think twice about firing Hellfire missiles at a wedding party full of women and children to kill one (maybe) jihadi, so their strategy is sound by our standards.

I never said banning guns would stop all crime. It may however save innocent people that are carelessly taking by improper gun storage or use. A lot of people shouldn't own guns!

We should ban Muslims instead of firearms.

Just think if DC residents were allowed to carry guns there is a good chance terrorist would not make such a fool hardy attempt! They sure as hell won't try it in SE DC, they know they'd get their butts smoked, but downtown where all the law abiding federal employees are, now that's a different story. Of course, no federal workers will be carrying regardless of DC law, since it's illegal to take a gun or knife into a federal facility.

You are jumping to the totally wrong conclusion. The original article, if you bother to read it, says Muslims are encouraged to shoot up restaurants. My point is not about DC residents not being armed, it is that no one could possibly shoot up a restaurant in DC if having a gun in DC is illegal. How does one shoot a gun in DC if the gun laws prohibit having a gun in DC? Perfectly safe to eat anywhere in DC, the laws prevent that preposterous fantasy from happening.

I was mocking the idea that D.C. politicians have, where they believe that preventing civilian gun ownership somehow prevents violent acts from occurring within the District.

There are exceptions to that.

And those places tend to have security guards with guns, too.

Even if the entire US had gun laws similar to England or France, people would still find ways to mass murder. Instead of opening fire in public with a legally bought Glock or AR-15, people would make pipebombs, molotov cocktails, etc.


Look at a civilized country like Spain, the Basque terrorists bomb government facilities constantly. An average American day is pretty tranquil even with wannabe Columbines and Hui Chos running around buying up guns and ammo.

If you're shooting up a cafe, I believe the appropriate battle cry is "Allahu Snackbar."

Yes. I, too, am pleased that Al Qaeda is moving towards smaller, more fluid methods of killing innocent people.

You fucking cocksucker. I hope you're eating in whatever restaurant they pick first.

I doubt Chuckhoffmann has any money to use on restaurants, not even IHOP or Denny's. What little money he does have is probably spent on alcohol.

Blessed are the murderous.

+1, that's right up there with Vince's "9/11 hijackers were freedom fighters". While I agree he's an excellent candidate to be in the first one hit, I also hope he's the only one in it and the staff was out back taking a smoke break out of harm's way.

I look forward to the first meeting of the FCCCV. It's about time somebody
got up off their dead asses and took a proactive approach.
