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.

Police Secure Businesses on Terror Alert
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.

Al Quaeda Operatives Captured by CIA Provided Intelligence Behind New Orange Heightened Terrorist Threat Alert

Homeland Security Today Magazine Briefed That Three Al Qaeda Cells Appeared to Coordinate Bomb Plots in US.

WASHINGTON, DC (PRWEB) August 7, 2004 -- Senior US counterterrorist and intelligence officials in Washington told Homeland Security Today Magazine in recent days intelligence gleaned as a consequence of the arrest in Texas of alleged Al Qaeda courier Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed, and the subsequent unreported capture by the CIA of two operatives of an Al Qaeda cell operating in Mexico for which she was ferrying instructions to suspected Al Qaeda members in New York, contributed significantly to the nations capital, New York City and New Jersey being put on high alert Sunday.

Washington-based counter terror intelligence sources told HSToday Ahmed was on her way to New York to deliver what were described as instructions from an Al Qaeda cell. The officials said intelligence provided by Ahmed, who authorities believe was operating as a "mule" a conduit for passing plot instructions - during interrogations led agents of the CIA's top secret operation to secretly capture Al Qaeda operatives to an undisclosed location where at least two members of the cell were taken into custody and transferred to one of the CIA's clandestine terrorist detention facilities. (snip)

Beginning in the late 1980s, according to a variety of classified CIA intelligence reports made available to HSToday, Middle East terror groups established conduits in Mexico via Panama to smuggle members into the US.

Al Qaeda reportedly has obtained counterfeit passports from organized crime syndicates operating in South Africa. The Al Qaeda members rounded up in Pakistan in late July are said to be from South Africa and may be tied to the terror group's cell Ahmed is said to be linked to, intelligence sources told HSToday.

It's possible he did not travel abroad for training as he could have trained in an in-state site such as Albany, NY.

I mentioned in a prior post just above that he bought a house in upstate NY. He mentioned the town, but I don't recall now.

"The ones sneaking across the border are of real concern."

I totally agree. Thank goodness Australia is surrounded by water, much of it, in the north is filled with crocodiles. But I fear our security will be shortlived. There are 250 million muslims in Indonesia who have plans. They call us Mantiqi Four. That's when Australia becomes an islamic land. Maps of the nation of an islamic Australia are already dsiplayed on the walls of Indonesian schoolrooms.

Praise God!!! There is great potential for him! Thank you for the update. Prayers continue...

What city/state do you live in?

[Indie]

All the talk of IED and truck bombs has me flustered. After 9-11, do we really think this is what the islamonazis have in mind? If it is, there must be more. Don't be lulled to sleep.

I tend to think anything leading in this direction is a diversion IMO.

[YngConservative]

I like Alan Keys a lot too.

I hope he runs and wins.

[Indie]

Speaking of which, why have so many here removed their state id [or never placed one] on their profile? Are we hiding or being low profile?

Oh yeah...is everyone who they say they are? I know that could be a real problem.

[Cindy]

Good points.

[Honestly]

The article talked about missing tankers that I was unaware of after reading TM. Also, the fact that they've had a network set up to bring terrorists in through Panama, Mexico, and then into the U.S. since the 1980s shocks me.

Thanks Judith! As always, I value your opinion. Thanks so much.

Excellent summary for a big news day. Thank you!

There's an interesting example of arabs fighting with bows and arrows from the back of a camel on:
http://www.livius.org/a/1/egypt/arabian_archers.jpg

Sitting back to back...shooting in opposite directions. Two bows? One aircraft, two targets, maybe?

[TheLion]

From your post: "According to FBI and other authorities familiar with the matter interviewed by HSToday, there’s a growing concern over fuel tanker trucks being stolen in south Texas and being transported across the border into Mexico."

Why are trucks going to Mexico? To be refitted as weapons?

[penguino]

Cool picture! Can you even imagine fighting a war like that?

[ExSoldier]

What scares me, however, is that if I inform the authorities and they check on the guy, he'll knows that he was me who informed them.

You can't know that. He may be speaking to lots of folks. If you think there is something even vaguely worthwhile here you must report it. If he checks out, no prob. Right after 911 I got suspicious of a student of mine, a Pakastani kid who was saying some really anti-American things at school. I gave him up to a buddy of mine in the FBI and the feds wound up sweeping up and deporting a nest of 20 illegal Egyptian and Yemeni nationals all in one apt. Do I have any regrets? What do you think?

For those with questions on the nukes and the possibilities
that do or do not exist, you might want to listen to
Dr Bill Wattenburg on the radio or the computer, there is a
way that you can send him questions, which he will answer.

He is taking extra shows this week, so is on right now , plus
Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights 10pm to 1 am, Pacific time.

Last night he said that if the terrorists don't have nukes, they will in 5 years of less, as they are not that difficult
to make.
