Threat Matrix: December 2006
Previous thread ^

Posted on 12/01/2006 8:36:14 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Fighting Jihad in Cyberspace
-Full Story-

The setting is familiar to anyone who watches the evening news. A large, executive-style desk, a laptop perched on top, a logo in the background and a screen showing shifting images to reinforce the newsreader's message. The only difference is the presenter, who is swathed in an Arab headdress and masked to hide his identity, and the subject of the broadcast, a call for an Islamic state for Iraq and a vow to use Iraq as a launching pad to crush the "Zionists" in Israel.

Welcome to the "Voice of the Caliphate", the latest offering from the Global Islamic Media Front, widely regarded as the mouthpiece of al-Qaeda and the worldwide jihadist movement.

Distributed over the internet, the mock news format is just one of many employed by al-Qaeda's highly sophisticated propaganda arm.

Turkey delegates some of its gas quota to Georgia, Azerbaijan
Itar Tass ^ | 12/8/2006 | None

Posted on 12/09/2006 3:24:18 PM PST by a_Turk

TBILISI, December 8 (Itar-Tass) -- Turkey will transfer some of its quota in the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline to Georgia and Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani Energy Minister Natiq Aliyev said after a Friday meeting with the Georgian and Turkish colleagues.

“The Turkish quota in the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline is 3 billion cubic meters in 2007,” he told a press briefing in Tbilisi. “However, Turkey has decided to delegate some of its quota to Georgia and Azerbaijan. We also decided to compensate the Turkish delegated quota in 2008-2009.”

Aliyev did not say how large the delegated quota would be, but said that experts of three gas companies will meet in Baku on December 13 for coordinating the issue.

It was said earlier that Georgia’s quota will make 250 million cubic meters in 2007. Yet this is not enough for meeting the domestic demand, and Tbilisi asked Baku and Ankara for sharing some of their quotas with it.

Tbilisi also continues gas negotiations with Moscow and Tehran. Georgian gas needs are estimated at 1.8 billion cubic meters. The main supplier of gas to Georgia is Russia.

"Terrorists could get N-device at little cost"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON: Terrorists will need just $5.43 million to make a nuclear device and launch an attack, says a new study.

According to researchers Peter Zimmerman and Jeffrey Lewis, writing in the current issue of Foreign Policy, terrorists can construct a nuclear device within the United States, which could be a highly-enriched uranium bullet that they could fire through a gun. Once complete, the device is likely to be less than nine feet long and could be transported in a van or a small panel truck."

Police to get ‘dirty bomb hoods’ in terror alert
times oline ^ | December 10, 2006 | Daniel Foggo

Posted on 12/09/2006 5:17:18 PM PST by Flavius

POLICE forces have been told to buy anti-radiation masks for their 100,000 frontline officers to protect them in the event of a “dirty bomb” terrorist attack.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) has told all forces they should look to purchase specially designed chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear (CBRN) hoods as soon as possible.

Senior officers are concerned that, with only 1,000 thought to have been distributed, their ability to deal with any radiation threat will be severely hampered.

The transparent “escape hoods” are able to protect the wearer from harm for about 20 minutes, allowing him or her to leave an affected area without breathing in any toxic particles.

The urgency that is being placed on the purchase of the hoods reflects the level of concern over the likelihood of a “dirty bomb” attack, where radioactive material, packed around a conventional explosive, is detonated and spreads radiation over a wide area.

The threat has been highlighted by the use of radioactive polonium-210 to kill Alexander Litvinenko, the Russian defector.

I can add you... Usually only send out pings to the new thread. I have been busy lately myself, and haven't been on so much. I should probably give Cindy a copy of the list to utilize it more.

Actually, I'd like to be added to your list as well if you could.

Al-Qaida in Iraq Responds to Baker-Hamilton Report, Congratulates Somali Islamists
By Evan Kohlmann

Yesterday, the "Islamic State of Iraq"--an Al-Qaida-dominated umbrella coalition of extremist Sunni insurgents in Iraq--issued several policy statements regarding ongoing events outside of Iraq. Responding to this week's release of the findings of the Iraq Study Group (ISG), the Al-Qaida faction formerly led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had this to say:

"The military leaders of the crusader coalition forces, realized the necessity of withdrawing from the bog they put themselves in 4 years ago, because of the stupidity and recklessness of their government, and after the U.S. policy in Iraq reached a dead end; and, after the Bush administration realized too late the impossibility of achieving victory in Iraq, and impossibility of establishing a democratic state in Iraq serving as a model for the large Middle East led by Israel. After all these dreams vanished... the politicians in the Crusaders coalition stopped talking about victory or defeat in war, but all their talk and their imagination now is about one and only demand, and that is: not enabling the true mujahideen and Muslims from winning the fruits of this blessed jihad, and this is what the recommendations of the so-called "Baker-Hamilton Committee" are based upon. This committee is trying to do the same thing as the Sykes Picot accord, which was held around a century ago."

"Sykes Picot agreement came to divide the Ottman Caliphate and the region to secular countries loyal to the Crusaders occupied countries and circling around them, but Baker-Hamilton's committee came to confirm this division, and to make sure that Muslims do not cross these borders (Sykes Picot borders) in their jihad. And sadly some Muslims, mainly raised on weak positions by their clerics, they still dream of Sykes Picot's Iraq, secular national Iraq, but not the Islamic Iraq. According to their view, there is no Islamic Iraq which can be part of the large Islamic state--instead, their ultimate goal is to attain a united Iraq or a united Arab world!! But creating a Caliphate [Islamic empire] on Islamic land and working towards uniting Muslims from China to Spain does not even cross their mind--to the contrary they might reject it, because it opposes their national orientation which has been adopted by some Islamists without knowing it... All our mujahideen brothers should be aware of maneuvers and gimmicks, and not be up for grabs to the crusader enemy. And they should not enable the climbers and opportunists to grab the fruits of the blessed jihad."

In a second separate statement, the Al-Qaida-led coalition in Iraq offered its congratulations to the Islamic Courts militia in Somalia on the recent reported "victories" against their "crusader and apostate" enemies:

"We were delighted and filled of joy after hearing the good news from the jihad land in Somalia. And recently, the brothers in the Islamic Courts--may Allah grant them victory--rebuffed a large attack carried out by the apostate Somalia government's army, supported by the crusader Ethiopian army on the city of Dinsor. And we ask Allah to enable the brothers there to defeat the apostates and their allies, and to establish an Islamic State in the land of Somalia which Allah founded from jihad."
