Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - September 2006

[MamaDearest]

That is one exceptional employer. Wagering most don't take that kind of time or attention to suggest such proactive preparation to protect their employees.

I repacked our first-aid kit for the car today (coincidental that we are on this topic).

[MamaDearest]

Nope, I don't see a $$ amount listed.

IMHO finding Adam Gahahn is very important to national security. Financial incentive to locating known terrorists has worked in the past - and this one may very well be right here on American soil, preparing terror against Americans. Thanks for checking on that Cindy. I'm really surprised there is no $$ amount listed given the danger this individual poses as a known terrorist.

Yes Mama we are on the same page i also asked Dh to have preps in his care with him at all times at first he laughed now I noticed he has taken my advie and is preped in his car. One of the things I notice most iswhat the womean where for shoes point of fact always keep a spare at work that are sensible and good for walking any distance if an attack happeneds high heals are not going to get you to move and may take seconds off your life.

[MamaDearest]

if an attack happeneds high heals are not going to get you to move and may take seconds off your life.

Valid point. Comfy shoes are vital to any escape package, with waterproof boots and warm socks (frostbite prevention) in tow for the wintertime.

Terror concerns in baby formula thefts

Snip: Cleveland grocer has been arrested in an alleged baby formula theft ring, a potential source of funding for terrorist groups abroad, officials said. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Sunday that Hasana Abdalla allegedly planned to purchase a truckload of stolen formula, something that was apparently common for him, having previously purchased a dozen truckloads.

Abdalla had $100,000 cash and headed to Akron to close the deal, but this time it was a setup, the Plain Dealer said. Local and federal officials swooped in, seized Abdalla's money, impounded his red 2006 Mercedes and arrested him in a nationwide crackdown on the lucrative black-market trade in baby formula.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, federal officials from North Carolina to Texas have broken up theft rings dealing in large quantities of baby formula and health and beauty products, such as diabetes test strips and contact lens solution.

Kidnappers of Fox journalists threaten to kidnap non-Muslim foreigners

Snip: A week after they released two Fox News journalists in Gaza, Palestinian militants threatened on Sunday to kidnap and kill foreigners or Western journalists unless they convert to Islam or have Muslim prisoners exchanged for their release.

In a statement distributed in Gaza, the previously unknown group of Holy Jihad brigades said that "every unbeliever of Islam comes to the land of Palestine would be executed if he didn't turn into Islam before arriving" or refuses to convert to Islam after their capture.

Otherwise, the statement said that the only way for captives to save their souls is to be exchanged for Muslim prisoners.

The Azzam threat - a prelude to future jihad in the USA

Snip: Who is it destined to?

It is basically addressed to those who will carry a “Jihad in America,” possibly asserting Adam Gahdan as their leader. Also, this is a very intelligent move to pierce the linguistic shield of America’s media and reach US citizens directly, as a way to spread confusion at least among those who have a hazy understanding of the Jihadists.

I believe there is no $ amount because it's a SEEKING INFORMATION situation only versus a WANTED poster. The wanted posters do carry $ amounts.

Iraqi Troops Nab Militia Chief; Weapons Caches Found

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Sep. 3, 2006 – An Iraqi Army unit caught a mid-level leader of an illegal militia group during an early-morning Aug. 31 raid in southeastern Baghdad, according to Multinational Corps Iraq officials.

The Iraqi soldiers, accompanied by coalition advisers, were specifically looking for the militia’s chieftain, officials said, noting that he is believed to be responsible for inciting sectarian violence, fear and instability through acts of intimidation and murder. He also was wanted for authorizing the acquisition and use of heavy weapons and improvised explosive devices employed in attacks on Iraqi citizens and coalition troops.

No civilians or Iraqi or coalition forces were killed or injured during the raid, officials said.

In other news, Iraqi security forces and U.S. soldiers from the 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, found an apparent enemy bomb-making facility and seized other weapon caches Aug. 30 during operations in Adhamiyah, Iraq.

The site yielded a large supply of bomb-making material and engineering books.

In another action, American soldiers with the 1st Battalion, 17th Infantry Regiment, 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, found a mortar base plate, a mortar bipod, 12 60mm mortar rounds, three full AK-47 rifle magazines, a pistol belt and various terrorist equipment during a search of a school in Adhamiyah. An explosive ordnance disposal team destroyed the captured material.

Later, the 17th Infantry Regiment soldiers discovered a smaller weapons cache hidden in an ice cream/bakery shop in Adhamiyah. The soldiers seized a set of body armor, two rocket-propelled grenade launchers, four RPGs, three bandoliers, various bomb-making materials, a belt of rifle ammunition and loose rounds. An EOD team buried the cache to make it unavailable to the enemy.

As of Aug. 31, Iraqi and U.S. troops in support of Operation Together Forward had cleared more than 36,000 buildings, 32 mosques and 26 Baghdad neighborhoods. They’ve detained 42 terrorist suspects, seized more than 900 weapons, registered more than 184 weapons and found 18 weapons caches. Operation Together Forward is the concentrated effort of Iraqi and coalition forces to bring the security situation under control in the Iraqi capital.

The combined forces also have replaced 444 doors, 18 windows and 656 locks damaged during clearing operations, and have removed more than 17,000 tons of debris and trash from Baghdad streets, officials said.

Thanks Cindy. My point in the matter being some people will do nothing at all unless there is "something in it for them...." They'll be showing up in numbers in the November elections to ensure that mode of living continues. We need to show up in record numbers to absolutely-positively make sure they DO NOT win.

[Cindy]

I understand.
