SPECIAL ALERT

Homeland Security Issues Highest Terror Threat Level
Prevailing Prayer A Necessity At This Critical Time
Al Qaeda Warns Of "Biggest Operation In The United States"

HOMELAND SECURITY ISSUES HIGHEST TERROR THREAT LEVEL TO U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT AND SECURITY PERSONNEL - (Associated Press; WorldNetDaily.com, by Paul Sperry, Washington Bureau Chief, 11/24/03) The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced to the public that the nation's current terror threat level stands at yellow, or elevated, indicating there is only a significant risk of terrorist attacks. But, behind the scenes, it has directed federal and state law enforcement, as well as security personnel to initiate protective measures under its highest threat level - red - a condition when there is an imminent risk of terrorist attacks.

Marked "For Official Use Only," a five-page memo from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was distributed Friday to federal departments and agencies, as well as state security managers and first responders. The Homeland Security memo warns that al-Qaeda might launch attacks "near the end of Ramadan (Nov. 24-27)," which happens to coincide this year with the Thanksgiving holiday. Also, the State Department issued a "worldwide caution" for Americans traveling abroad, urging they "maintain a high level of vigilance" for possible terrorist attacks.

The memo advised federal agencies to initiate emergency counter terrorism measures to prevent possible al-Qaeda car bombings planned during the last days of the Muslim holiday Ramadan. Citing al-Qaeda's "increasingly sophisticated" car-bombing tactics, it recommends security guards tow all vehicles parked illegally in and around government facilities, if their owners cannot be identified, and inspect the undercarriage and other areas of vehicles entering sensitive areas, among other high-threat protective measures.

I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, "HE IS MY REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS, MY GOD, IN WHOM I TRUST." SURELY HE WILL SAVE YOU FROM THE FOWLERS SNARE AND FROM THE DEADLY PESTILENCE. - Psalm 91:2,3

Although the department memo states: "We have no tactical information identifying timing, targets, tactics or locations for these operations," it goes on to say that "recent information" and attacks reflect "al-Qaeda's desire to repeat a mass casualty attack and/or strike major political and symbolic and economic targets" in America.

Al-Qaeda could also target "liquid natural gas, chemical or petrochemical sites near major population centers using multiple vehicle-born improvised explosive devices similar to those recently seen in the attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Istanbul, Turkey," warns the internal department advisory titled, "Continued al-Qaeda Threats Abroad and in the Homeland."

The Department memo notes there has been at least one major terrorist attack resulting in substantial casualties each week over the past several weeks, and that the attacks have coincided with Ramadan. "These terrorist bombings, coupled with public proclamations regarding al-Qaeda's intentions to target Western interests, heighten our concern that a threat against the U.S. homeland and U.S. interests abroad continues," the document states.

PREVAILING PRAYER A NECESSITY AT THIS CRITICAL TIME - Ask the Lord to act in HIs own displeasure toward those who would strike terror into the earth. (Ezekiel 32:22-25; Psalm 7:11-16) Pray that He would root out and bring terrorists to justice. Pray that the Lord would show mercy, expose and thwart terrorist schemes, grant wisdom, discernment and protection to all in authority working to prevent terrorist attacks.

Let us continue to pray for the exposure and apprehension of Saddam Hussein, his Ba'ath loyalist leaders and al Qaeda terrorist leaders and fighters. Intercede for the protection of ambassador Bremer and his staff.

Pray for the protection of all Christians, and of all citizens, Coalition forces and humanitarian aid workers in Baghdad and Iraq - there is a network of 4,000 indigenous Iraqi UN-related food relief workers.

Let us affirm the finished work of Christ over all officials and all demonic forces and that "no weapon formed against the purposes of God will prosper." (Rev 1:5; Col 1:12-18, 2:15; Is 54:17). Ask the Lord to reveal and implement His "whole armor," grant wisdom, and show how free Iraqis and Coalition leaders and forces are to cooperate and to "stand" together. (Eph 6:13)

Let us petition the Lord of Hosts to deploy the angelic forces necessary to "clear the spiritual air," execute the "judgments" the Lord has decreed, protect human life, bring peace and order, constitutional good government, and the redemption and reconstruction He is intending for the Iraqi people(s). (Ps 2:6-12; 91:11-12; 1 Tim 2:2-5)

AL QAEDA WARNS OF "BIGGEST OPERATION IN THE UNITED STATES"; U.S. MUSLIMS URGED TO "TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SHORT TIME LEFT" TO ESCAPE HARM'S WAY - Al Qaeda marked Eid al Fitr, the festival closing the Muslim festival of Ramadan, with a dramatic warning. According to DEBKAfile, (www.debka.com), an international terrorism and intelligence website, a message published over al Qaeda's electronic channels and websites declared that the countdown has begun for the biggest operation ever carried out in the U.S. "The big blow will fall very shortly. It will consist of a series of surprise attacks that will cut America off from communication with its armies in Muslim countries." The reference is clearly to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The largest number, around 115,000 soldiers, is present in Iraq. Muslims living in the! U.S. are urged by the Al Qaeda warning to "take advantage of the short time left" to escape the country and harm's way.

Some of the messages say that a new Osama bin Laden videotape will soon be out. It will also carry statements by al Qaeda members who executed the last suicide attacks in Saudi Arabia and adherents who died in clashes with Saudi security. They will be shown describing how they were prepared for action. Bin Laden will intersperse these cuts with comments explaining the selection of Saudi targets. Some of the new messages are signed by Abu Assam al Yamani, who also threatens to murder Abdul Rahman Rashid, editor of the Saudi London-based paper Sharq al Awsat. Al Yamani says the al Qaeda passed sentence of death against the editor because he not only met President George W. Bush in the British capital last week but also interviewed him and appeared with the president in a joint photo.
