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.

NEW YORK - Police searched trucks, blocked streets and posted machine-gun toting officers outside financial landmarks Monday, a day after the government's chilling warning that terrorists might target the buildings with bombs.

Velveeta,

I passed the general link on again.

I admit it, No hablo Arabic, Espanol, Italiano, or Democrat.

[mindspy]

I agree, it's not spooky. It also explains many feelings. Also, the old saying, the buzz is in the air. We'll it really is a buzz in the air. However, not all are in tune or are too wrapped up in the physical to feel it.

[Cindy]

Thank you very much Flutters.

Oh, come on, mindspy, don't make lazy little me write it all out longhand (defeats the purpose of the abbreviation). Law enforcement=LE. Law enforcement official=LEO. You are not stupid. We all pick these acronyms up sooner or later here on TM. ;)

In the begininning, some of us ridiculed acronyms, alphabets (NSC; CIA; FBI, etc.). I was one of them. Then, I wrote a private message to someone and I laughed as I saw it had about 2 acronyms per sentence!

Al Qaeda Infiltration?

Evidence Suggests Terror Network Has Greater Presence in U.S. Than Thought

ABCNEWS.com


W A S H I N G T O N, Aug. 4, 2004— U.S. intelligence has evidence al Qaeda operatives cased major targets in New York and Washington from the inside, ABC News has learned. It was part of a meticulous surveillance operation that managed to obtain unusual access. Information found on the computer files of Mohammed Khan, the 25-year-old computer engineer who was arrested last month in Pakistan, is responsible for the current terror alert at financial centers in New York, Washington, D.C., and Newark, N.J.

Khan's records continue to yield critical clues about al Qaeda's operations, including indications that he may have communicated with several people in the United States in recent months, sources told ABC News.

Khan's computer files show al Qaeda operatives thoroughly casing the financial centers both outside and inside just before the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the sources said.

Law enforcement officials said the bulk of the extensive surveillance was conducted on the Citigroup Center in Manhattan, the International Monetary Fund and World Bank buildings in Washington, and Prudential Financial Inc.'s headquarters in Newark, N.J. Federal officials publicly identified those targets earlier this week, along with the New York Stock Exchange.

"Given the specificity that apparently are in these reports, that they were not just casual targets. These were real targets," said former FBI counterterrorism agent Jack Cloonan, an ABC News consultant.

The computer files, written in English, narrate the travels of al Qaeda members throughout the buildings, offering step-by-step color commentary in rich detail, sources said.

The documents suggest the facilities were under surveillance morning and night, with operatives looking for times when security was lax and when the most potential victims were present.

Al Qaeda's attention to the interior of buildings is one reason why the FBI has warned police not only about the potential for truck bomb attacks, but also about the possibility of bombings from the inside, as well as biological and chemical attacks.

Said former FBI analyst Matthew Levitt, now a senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy: "I think their primary objective is just to kill as many people as possible."

ABC News' Pierre Thomas filed this report for World News Tonight

Any update Oxen?

This made me so very happy to see. I have always adored Alan Keyes. He was too intelligent for a televisison show; he is a wonderful guest and a magnificent orator no matter where he is. What's more, his words mean something special, they are not the pretty sounding but empty words of clintoon or mario cuomo.

Keyes needs a wider venue to reach the people and elective office at the national level would be the answer. We will all benefit from him if he wins the election, which I hope he does. It will be another tough race for him.
