![]() Credit: The Cabal 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. "I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat." Link to Thread Fifteen 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-Qaida Link Shot Down in Turkey Attack
Suspected Islamic Militant Says al-Qaida Not Connected in Turkish Masonic Lodge Attack
The Associated Press
ISTANBUL, Turkey Aug. 6, 2004 An Islamic militant maimed during a suicide bombing he helped carry out against a Masonic lodge denied on Friday that he and his co-defendants were part of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida terrorist network.
Engin Vural said the March 9 attack, which killed a waiter and wounded five patrons dining at the lodge, was motivated by a belief that Masons were working against Turkey.

this is from another website, taken from DEBKA (Debka's site is down all of a sudden)...
"The al Qaeda Threat to America Is Serious
The terror alarm against America's financial bastions sounded last Sunday, August 1, by US Homeland Secretary Tom Ridge, is serious and real, say the intelligence experts who keep track of al Qaeda to DEBKA-Net-Weekly. The peril does not only apply to the locations cited by Ridge, the IMS and World Bank in Washington DC, the Stock Exchange and Citigroup in Manhattan and the Prudential Building in New Jersey; it goes a lot further and extends also to the White House and Capitol Hill, as it did in 2001.
Our experts reached this conclusion from studying the restless shifts, changes and relocations of al Qaeda cells in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and the Middle East, picked up by human and technological trackers. Until late last week, many of these cells were dormant. Since July 27, they are on the move. The most worrying aspect of these movements is that cells under surveillance for at least eighteen months have disappeared, suggesting they have clandestinely advanced towards their jumping-off points for action.
Also picked up since last week is an increasingly excited flurry of chatter over the world web on sites identified with al Qaeda or its affiliates. These sites appear to have bought up thousands of new domain names with the extension .ws (West Samoa), the Internet equivalent of the Antiguan flag of convenience flown by the 35 al Qaeda-owned ships. These domain names cost a mere $30 and only $10 to recover if disabled by some Western intelligence service.
The most troubling feature of this unusual electronic torrent is the celebratory tenor and strong sense of anticipatory excitement pervading its content. One promises believers "great satisfaction." Another: "Cause for much rejoicing and pride very soon." This sort of language was first seen on al Qaeda web sites at the end of July 2001, less than two months before the 9/11 attacks. Then, it was detected after the attacks. This week, it was picked up in time and treated as a warning.
DEBKA-Net-Weekly's counter-terror sources note that where the Bush administration erred was in tying its serious, up-to-date data stream to the information taken by Pakistani interrogators from the two al Qaeda captives, the Tanzanian Khalfan Ghailani and the Pakistani computer engineer, Muhammed Naeem Noor Khan. The mining of their computers may well have turned up such targets as the NYSE, the World Bank and the IMF, but, as we shall see in the following analysis of al Qaeda's methods of operation, no immediacy may be inferred from this find. Terrorist cells may spend years preparing an operation on any one, two, or three of a host of targets and either follow through - or not.
Quite apart from the data provided by Ghailani and Khan, the danger of a terrorist attack inside the United States has shot up substantially and will remain very high from now until after the swearing-in of a president in January 2005.
For what it's worth, it seems to jive with what my source told me yesterday...
Ping to post #1826 - General description of vehicles to watch, re: Vehicle Bourne Improvised Explosive Devices.
To add to this post, from my own experience and observation, and this is something I have not seen mentioned anywhere:
Trucks and Vans used by Utility Companies, such as Gas, Electric, Phone, etc. tend to be virtually INVISIBLE. People don't notice them, cops don't notice them, etc. When was the last time you ever saw a service truck pulled over by a cop?
These trucks also generally have pretty free access to restricted areas, and most people wouldn't think it too strange to see one parked RIGHT NEXT TO A BUILDING!
A lot of these type of trucks also have a large capacity.
Please, people, don't think I'm giving the jihadis anything they haven't already thought of, and don't be fooled by trucks that "look" OK - LOGO DECALS CAN BE DUPLICATED!
Bottom Line - if something looks out of place - REPORT IT!
Rush started his show with that story. I suppose he preps here? :)
Relax, we won't make it that far. :)
I'm getting the sense that there is much more to the threat too. Also, some have pointed out that it's been very quiet on the jihad website front which could be a sign of an impending strike. Think of the plots they could of hatched in a three-year period. Only time will tell.
This is what bugs me. All the wingnuts feeling like they have carte blanche to act out, thinking that everything will be blamed on terrorists.
Okay -- I got Debka back up, too, and the info I saw on anomalies.net is not there... Was it pulled?
That's bizarre. Like I said, I didn't actually see it at DEBKA, but someone at anomalies.net transcribed it to the terror BB there this morning...
Hmmmm....
I don't believe for a moment that Ivan would let the goblins take control of their satellites.
It's within the realm of believability that they're floating a trial balloon, similar to the "radical jewish" threat to the dome.
Planting the seeds. I wonder if we're going to see this story grow.
Also, note how Aljernaan abruptly "got out of Dodge" just a couple days ago...
