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'

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

Analyst: 'It's complacency that gets you in trouble'
08/01/04
In the United States, the terrorism threat level has been raised to code orange, or high, for potential targets in the financial services sector of New York City, northern New Jersey and Washington, D.C.

Terroristwarning.com Editorial Comment:
Former President Bill Clinton, speaking about Osama Bin Laden in December of 2000 reportedly said to President Bush "One of the great regrets of my presidency is that I didn't get him for you, because I tried to." Terroristwarning.com predicts President Bush will one day look back and his biggest regret will have been failing to protect Americans by protecting our borders with Mexico and Canada.

Todays first article, and others in our recent alerts, show virtual proof that terrorists can literally stroll unchecked right across our borders.

It is probably already too late, and at TerroristWarning.com we support almost everything you have done in the war on terrorism , but we beg you Mr. President, PLEASE protect our borders, immediately.

THIS IS NOT AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE

Thank you for your submission to the FBI Internet
Tip Line. Your information is being evaluated at
this time by one of our Agents, and will be
forwarded to the appropriate FBI component.

For your information, the Internet Tip Line (ITL)
was created on 9/11/01, in response to the
terrorist attacks upon America. We quickly
established a mechanism for the public to submit
information to the FBI via the Internet, and we
received our first tip at 10:31 AM that first day.
Director Mueller has since made the ITL a
permanent part of FBI operations, and we have thus
far received over 900,000 tips from around the
globe, from which thousands of leads have been
sent to FBI Field and Legal Attaché Offices for
action.

Initially, almost 100% of the tips received were
related to the terrorist attacks; now,
approximately 45% of all tips received are related
to almost every other FBI criminal program, e.g.,
drug trafficking, organized crime, money
laundering, pyramid schemes, child pornography,
fugitives, bank robbery.

Our operation is completely automated and
paperless. Submitted tips are received
immediately, reviewed within minutes and
prioritized by trained Professional Support
personnel, and Agents set action leads within the
hour, as appropriate.

We encourage you to share this information with
your family, friends, and co-workers, and
encourage them to not hesitate to submit
information they may deem of interest to the FBI.

IMPORTANT - NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

The FBI does not maintain an email address to
submit information or attachments to directly;
therefore, please do not reply directly to this
message via your email client. The FBI maintains
an automated system that is designed to track all
information received, to ensure that all tips are
addressed in a timely and efficient manner.
Therefore, please visit the FBI.GOV Web site again
should you have occasion to submit additional
information. We WILL NOT open or respond to
"reply" email.
