The Threat Matrix

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the judge and get informed!

Details show extent of terror plot against U.S.
Full Story

We now know more about an alleged attack that triggered an increased national threat level last summer.

That's when U.S. officials said they had uncovered a plot targeting financial institutions. The plot involved bombs, banks and British nationals.

The detail was startling, the targets enormous. They included financial buildings in Washington, New York and New Jersey.

THANKS tmp02.

I was talking to my husband about Turkey over lunch today after church -- just in general conversation. He's been to Turkey.

I'm also interested in Greece if you see anything interesting in that area.

Ongoing prayers for you tmp02.

IDF nabs teen wearing bomb belt
Jerusalem Post ^ | May 22, 2005 | Margot Dudkevich

Posted on 05/22/2005 3:52:11 PM PDT by Alouette

A 14-year-old Palestinian youth wearing a bomb belt with two pipe bombs was arrested by soldiers at the Hawara checkpoint outside of Nablus on Sunday afternoon.

According to a Central Command officer, the youth's behavior aroused soldiers' suspicions, and one of the officers demanded that the youth lift his shirt, which revealed the bombs ready for use.

The officer said the boy also had a cigarette lighter and that he had planned to blow up near soldiers at the checkpoint. Since the beginning of the year, 50 Palestinian minors wearing explosives or attempting to smuggle weapons through checkpoints have been arrested by security forces. The youth was handed over to the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency ) for questioning.

In April, a 15-year-old Palestinian carrying five pipe bombs was arrested by soldiers at the same checkpoint. Soldiers' suspicions were aroused when the youth reached the checkpoint wearing a coat despite the hot weather. When the soldiers stopped him and asked him to remove his coat, he lit a match in an attempt to detonate one of the bombs but dropped it when a soldier aimed his weapon at him. Inside the coat soldiers found the four other pipe bombs.

In February this year, Mahmoud Tabouk, 15, was arrested at the checkpoint after he was caught carrying an explosives belt, a makeshift rifle and M-16 bullets that he was to deliver to someone on the other side. Last October a female would-be suicide bomber was arrested at the checkpoint en route to launch an attack in Israel.

In March 2004, soldiers at the checkpoint prevented Husam Abdu, 14, from detonating an explosives belt. The same month soldiers arrested Abdullah Kuran, 11, who agreed to carry bags through the crossing after receiving NIS 5, unaware that one contained a 10-kilogram bomb. When he was stopped by soldiers for inspection, his dispatchers attempted to detonate the bomb but they were unsuccessful.

RE your post 3195 - Cindy, I don't know how you do it, but thank you for your dedication here and hard work bringing what you find to us! Bless you and your family (who share you with us).

[MamaDearest]

Around Denver and Colorado Springs we were caught in traffic jams that were comparable to ones we have been in Shanghai and Mexico City.

We lived in Denver many years ago (when the freeway still had what was known as the "mousetrap"). We had a beautiful new home in the foothills. Sold it and moved away when we heard the field full of praire dogs behind us was going to become a shopping mall.

As I recollect from news reports back in those days, LaRaza had quite a foothold in Denver way back then (25 years ago roughly).

[MamaDearest]

Eight members of the House of Representatives, led by Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., and chairman of the House Immigration Reform Committee, are calling for the resignation of a Border Patrol official in Arizona who is alleged to have told his agents to stand down following the Minuteman Project vigil in April so that an increase in apprehensions of illegal aliens would not give the citizen group bragging rights.

Hooray for Tancredo and the other 7 members of the House. We need more like them for definite sure!

[MamaDearest]

"Answering the call for jihad"
By Ilhem Rachidi

RABAT -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The candidates for jihad have dramatically diverse social, economic and cultural backgrounds, yet they unite in their radical interpretation of Islam, and most of all, their conviction that it is their duty to fight against the invasion of Iraq by "infidels".

"Some of these young men grow up with the perception that they are at war with Western society by virtue of their race and religion alone," says Evan Kohlmann, a Washington-based terrorism consultant and author of Al-Qaeda's Jihad in Europe."

Al-Qaeda In Palestine?

snip
This new terrorists group, Jundallah, has already launched attacks Israeli soldiers wounding four, and plans to launch more attacks not only against Israeli's but US interests in the region as well. Abu Abdullah al-Khattab, a spokesman for the new terrorists organization has denied any connections with Osama Bin Laden, but if proven otherwise this would pose a serious problem for Abbas as he already is having trouble stopping terrorist activities within Palestine.

Political correctness gives one the mentality to ignore real concerns and difficult facts of life.

I agree, for some but not the White House. They should know better.

IMHO...I have been real proud of our First Lady. I think she crossed a line on the following...

Mrs. Bush removed her shoes as she entered the mosque and walked barefoot on the red carpet.

[Cindy]

Orlando, huh?

Makes me think of Disney World/Epcot Center.
I must have vacation on the mind.
Never been there.

[Cindy]

Smiling...barefoot on the red carpet...yep...the walk for peace.
