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.

Israel's reaction is already in the news. The "must exhaust all political" stuff.

It's not gonna be pretty. AQ promised that they would see to Israel as soon as they defanged us.

I know it was a joke, and that's why I said, with all due respect, that we need to stay on topic. Fewer jokes, fewer tits-for-tats, fewer personal arguments... more TM.

But I'm not the Thread Police, I'm just stating my opinion. I rarely get to read this thread and I hate having to wade through PHD to find actual substance. Again, maybe it's just me.

Big thanks to you for your synopsis.

Jittery Americans still ill-prepared for disaster


STEPHEN HANDELMAN

On any given day, 15 million shipping containers are in transit around the world, the workhorses of a global bazaar that most of us depend upon for the goods that prop up our lives. Could one of those containers carry a secret nuclear device? Would anyone find it?

If you don't enjoy losing sleep about such questions, you probably don't want to spend much time around Stephen Flynn, a former U.S. Coast Guard commander who has spent the past five years investigating North America's defences against crime and terrorism.

sorry didn't see it had been posted

[TWhiteBear]

Yeah, I've noticed occasional spikes in the fertilization here. Hope it's resolved until the next time.
On main topic, my Supreme Leader forwarded this to me today. It gives info on what the Emergency Response and Preparedness Directorate from the DHS is saying. The Counter-Terrorism: Critical Infrastructure Protection Infogram has not been posted yet. I'm glad that TBTB are thinking about what happens to old folks and the disabled in case things tank on us.

ASSOCIATED PRESS/ Las Vegas Sun ^ | 27 July 2004 | LESLIE PARRILLA


DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A driver stopped on an Iowa highway this month was found with flight-training manuals, Arabic documents and night-vision goggles, and he told troopers he knew of terrorist plans to shoot up trains in San Diego, according to court papers.

Michael Wagner, 44, of San Diego, said he had knowledge of terrorist activities and people and groups tied to al-Qaida and the Taliban. Wagner also said that he knew about things in the Muslim communities in San Diego that would interest federal authorities.

GROZNY, July 27 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian army engineers averted a new terrorist act in Chechnya Monday. The Grozny military commandant’s office told Tass the engineers found a handmade mine planted in a street between a 9-story apartment block and the office of the Chechen state radio and TV company.

The engineers first attempted to destroy the mine by machinegun fire, however it did not explode. The mine was then evacuated outside the city and eliminated.

Nebraska prepares for possible bio-terrorist attack




By Kristina Jergensen , The North Platte Telegraph 07/26/2004





From left, Stacy Olea and Barbara Dethlefs, both of Ogallala Community Hospital, and Rhonda Theiler, director of Sandhills District Health Department in Ogallala discuss ways to respond to a fictional scenario of a bio-terrorism attack in Nebraska.
If terrorists used disease-causing agents to attack Nebraska, would emergency workers in North Platte and area towns know how to respond?
This question was the theme of a disaster preparedness seminar Tuesday sponsored by the West Central District Health Department and attended by more than 50 people from area hospitals, emergency agencies covering a 16-county area, nursing homes, police and fire departments, health departments, the media and service organizations such as United Way and The Salvation Army.
