Al Qaeda Internet message threatens new attack for end of Ramadan
"You did not understand the reasons for the raids of Washington and New York," said the statement attributed to al Qaeda. "Oh American people, you are the victim of your leaders, but you are also a partner in the war on us. The gift for the holiday is on its way."

This (unauthenticated, and largely unreported) statement might be interpreted as a warning of a terrorist attack at the end of Ramadan, ie 5/6 Dec, but for maximum impact, a strike on America, Americans, or American interests after the attack on Iraq has started would be logical.
