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.

Group linked to al Qaeda warns of 'columns of car bombs'

Australia and Italy have received warnings through a statement purportedly from militants linked to al Qaeda that demanded those countries withdraw troops from Iraq.

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm.

May I be the first at the TM to wish you a very Happy Birthday and a beautiful, bright, and 'new' life.

Congratulations, dear lady.

[KylaStarr]

I would like to second that.

May your day be filled with joy and happiness, and may your life be blessed by the Lord.

Happy Birthday, dear friend!!!!!!!!

"Yeah. I will say, I put much more credence into the possibility of Abu Hafs al Masri Brigades carrying out an attack than I do with the likes of EOM. ;)"

Yup. My sig reflects that sentiment. :)

The threat letter that penguino translated was revealing as well. They think highly of spending their lives; their "army" of that size would have greater impact than a similar conventional army.

"With our wide-open boarders, there may be an 'army' here waiting for orders as well...

Welcome to today, nwctwx.

ExSoldier, would you be so kind as to repost your numbers?

[HipShot]

I need that to keep my last 2 brain cells warm. Back off!

:)

[HipShot]

That may depend on his diet. :)

[HipShot]

I concur. They're not going to meet us on any open ground whatsoever.

They are developing ways to improve their efficiency.

[HipShot]

My intent is to validate the quoted statement as to possibility, not actuality.

I should have made that clear. Sorry.

I'll leave a couple oyster crackers...

[HipShot]

A couple bottles of Guinness would be better :)

Anyone think that usama is within the U.S.? Remember all the rumors a year or so ago... Imagine him hiding right in our country... ***Insert Twilight Zone theme here***

"What about an attrocity committed against the Muslims? Such as blowing up the Dome of the Rock and/or the Al Aqsa Mosque?"(EternalHope)

This scenario is very likely. It was also discussed here at TM a few threads back. The info was at Jill's site and some others. There was a map which seemed to show the al aqsa mosque and something about assasinating arafat. I am at work and can't get to the info on my home pc. Anyone remember this and have a link? Thanks.

It was to be a go signal.

I think we are stopping alot of the terrorist. This is a good read:)

"But the attack was called off due to increased security. The attack was unspecific in its scope or location."

Elwell said the FBI notified local law enforcement agencies in both states late last week soon after receiving the information.

"We just provided the information to local law enforcement as a matter of sharing information," Elwell said. "We just let local authorities know there was a possible attack planned and they were unable to accomplish their attack."

I'm ready to help in any way that I can. I'll continue to put the daily list together until we come up with a better way to archive. We have an astounding amount of information and it's tough to keep track of everything. But it needs to be done. There are some folks here that are excellent at deciphering the information and if we can give them an easy way to find information that may help connect activities or patterns then I'm all for it. I fear tracking terrorist/events is a way of life now.

[INTL] China leader warns Bush on Taiwan over the phone

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3941647.stm

Chinese president Hu Jintao has phoned President George W Bush to warn the US against selling more military technology to Taiwan.

Washington is negotiating a deal to sell missiles and other weapons systems worth $18bn to the island - which China regards as a renegade province.

DEBKA is the mouthpiece for MOSSAD. When they want to make the world "aware" of something, they use DEBKA.

Interesting that you say that. I have been following Debka for about 2 years now, and have always enjoyed their information. Much of it does not come to pass, but they seem to be one of the better online intelligence sites. I have often wondered where they get their information.

This struck me as well. "A new type and style of battle" could be referring to WMD, or it could even be referring to conventional warfare using formalized structures like a real army. They've been using guerilla tactics forever, because that is the style best suited to terrorism. In other words, thuggery. I don't think the recruits are going to be of a type that will adapt well to the tactics of conventional warfare.

Perhaps I should have clarified myself a bit better. I would never believe that they would try to use 'conventional' warfare tactics, it would make very little sense for them to do that. I have a hard time believing that they would even attempt such, especially considering how little luck conventional Arab armies have had in the past 50 years. When I referred to 'ground troops' I was thinking more along the lines of 'cells' of men ravaging the countryside, or something similar. It would not be too difficult, IMO, for cells to massacre groups of people throughout the target country (in Europe, or here for that matter). If something like that ever occurred, it would cause mass panic. As I stated last night, this type of fighting would likely come after a massive WMD attack of some sort (after they have weakened the target country and focused police/military attention to the large cities that suffer said attack).

BTW, here are some quotes from the Debka article from the winter. If these numbers are anywhere close to correct; bad news. We saw what 19 men can do, I can only imagine what several 10's of thousands could accomplish.

"According to French counter-intelligence, al Qaeda has recruited in France alone between 35,000 and 45,000 men and is organizing them into military-style units. They meet regularly for training in the use of weapons and explosives, combat tactics and indoctrination and are controlled from local and district command centers under the organization’s national French command.

In Germany, Al Qaeda has recruited 25,000 to 30,000 men. The British domestic intelligence agency MI5 estimates 10,000 faithful have joined up in Britain, providing Blunkett with more than ample cause for concern. "

"But unknown numbers are enlisting in Belgium, Switzerland, Holland, Sweden and Norway."
