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.

Besides UPS, FEDEX, and foreign carriers, are you aware of any US carriers still operating MD-11's?
Follow-up to earlier story:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Five shipping containers of lemons rotted on a ship held off New York all week after officials received a false tip amid heightened security that the cargo might be biologically contaminated, the U.S. Coast Guard said on Friday.
The Coast Guard said in a statement that it boarded the container ship CSAV Rio Puelo on Saturday after being told by the U.S. Department of Agriculture of an "unconfirmed anonymous report" that one container of lemons had an "unknown harmful biological substance."
Officials tested the cargo for biological hazards, but none was found, the U.S. Coast Guard said. It was not immediately known how many pounds of lemons were spoiled, but CSAVGroup, the shipping container firm that owns the ship, said the containers can hold up hold up to 40,000 pounds of produce apiece. They declined to say how much money had been lost and whether insurance would pick up the cost.
"The lemons will be destroyed because they are no good after sitting at sea for a week," Coast Guard spokesman Jim McGranachan said.
The Marshall Islands-flagged ship, which was delivering the lemons from South America, was escorted from an anchorage off New York into the neighboring port of Newark, New Jersey on Friday, the spokesman said. (snipped)

You trying to get me to waver now?
Just kidding.
All I know is she is a talented, hard working person. She has been affiliated with more than one intel network in addition.
The selloff in the stock market is a good indication....it isnt Joe 401k selling now.
Maybe you shouldn't post anything she tells you unless you know for certain it is already out there. Who knows who or what is lurking. Something that may seem harmless to us could blow an entire sting.
I believe that the "breaking of Westfalia" threat from UBL references the vatican. The way I read it, it looks to me like that's the big trigger. I also believe that Italy will be the first major European target, not England.
Just my 2 cents.
Good night. I'm tired.
Reminder for myself to read Godzilla's excellent summary tomorrow after a few hours of needed sleep.
Thank you Hipshot for everything.
Goodnight.
Thanks a ton.
Sorry, a little behind in the posts, I suppose.
Thanks! As always, glad to help!
The messages are okay to post. I asked her if it was okay to post stuff here early last year. She said yes and simply requested that a link to IH be included. Then IH restricted access to the alneda forums and links are not valid anymore within that particular IH forum unless you are a member. So that is why I always, always, give all the proper credit to the posters there who work real hard by posting their name. I can't give them a link, but I like to say upfront who found the message and translated it. They deserve it.
The authorities monitor IH regularly; by the time stuff is posted there, the key posts have been reported to them and all posts have been seen by them.
Casey seems to know the stings and the honeypots.
Night! I am tired also. I will not be getting to all of the messages. I have hundreds to read still...
With all the attacks and potential hit plans diverted and thwarted in England -- there have been a few -- I wonder if England was not saved already more than once from an attack. Italy also. America is in there as well. It is difficult to determine the order of their attacks, if they have any. They probably have to deviate from their master plan quite a bit with all the arrests and security thrown up around the globe. Let's keep them having to do that!
NIGHT ALL!

Any of those have a falcon and/or an eagle on their logo, Karl?
I kinda understand now. Sorry about the post. I was just feeling paranoid I guess. But I am glad to know it is OK.
Is there a translation available for the text?

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520
This information is current as of today, Sat Aug 07 2004 00:34:14 GMT-0700.
Israel, the West Bank and Gaza
August 3, 2004
This Travel Warning is being updated in light of the kidnapping of a U.S. Citizen by unknown gunmen in the West Bank. Militants associated with al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades have recently kidnapped foreigners in both the West Bank and Gaza. Additionally, in the aftermath of the killings of two HAMAS leaders by Israel in less than a month, statements have been made by some HAMAS elements and other terrorist groups threatening revenge against U.S. interests. The Department of State continues to urge all U.S. citizens to depart Gaza immediately, and to warn U.S. citizens to defer travel to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza due to current safety and security concerns. This Travel Warning supersedes the Travel Warning issued April 28, 2004.
The Department of State warns U.S. citizens to depart Gaza immediately and to defer travel to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza due to current safety and security concerns. Militants associated with al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades have recently carried out kidnappings targeted at foreigners, including U.S. citizens, in the West Bank and Gaza. Statements have been made by some HAMAS elements and other terrorist groups threatening revenge against U.S. interests following the killing of HAMAS leaders in Gaza. These actions could include kidnappings, although we have no information that these threats will be carried out at this time. HAMAS has also vowed revenge against Israel. O ngoing violence over the last three years has caused numerous civilian deaths and injuries, including to some American tourists, students and residents, as well as to U.S. Mission personnel. The potential for further terrorist acts remains high. The situation in Israel, Jerusalem, Gaza and the West Bank remains extremely volatile with continuing terrorist attacks, confrontations and clashes. The Department of State recommended all U.S. citizens depart Gaza following the lethal terrorist attack on U.S. Mission personnel in Gaza on October 15, 2003. In addition, as the Israeli Defense Force continues to conduct extensive military operations, especially in Gaza, the possibility that innocent bystanders might become victims remains high.
American citizens who remain in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza despite this and earlier warnings are urged to continue to review their personal security situations and to take those actions they deem appropriate to ensure their well-being. Private Americans are encouraged to follow the precautions detailed below and remain in close communication with the American Embassy in Tel Aviv and the American Consulate General in Jerusalem for more detailed information. American citizens residing in the West Bank and Jerusalem should consider relocating to a safe location.
American citizens should avoid, to the extent possible, public places such as restaurants and cafes, shopping and market areas and malls, pedestrian zones, public buses and bus stops, and other crowded venues and the areas around them. Americans should also avoid demonstrations. Roads designed for Israeli settlers, including in East Jerusalem, have been the sites of frequent shooting attacks and roadside explosives, sometimes resulting in death or injury. U.S. Embassy and Consulate employees and their families have been prohibited from using public buses throughout Israel, the Jerusalem municipality, the West Bank and Gaza.
U.S. Government personnel in Israel, Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza are under tight security controls, including prohibition of non-official travel to the West Bank and Gaza. Official travel to the West Bank and Gaza is conducted only for specific mission needs, and under the auspices of U.S. Government security personnel. Occasionally, U.S. Government personnel are prohibited from traveling to sections of Jerusalem and parts of Israel, depending on prevailing security conditions.
As a result of ongoing military activity in the West Bank and Gaza, sections of those areas have been declared closed military zones. The Government of Israel may deny entry at Ben Gurion Airport or at a land border to persons it believes might travel to closed areas in the West Bank or Gaza or to persons the Israeli authorities believe may sympathize with the Palestinian cause and are seeking to meet with Palestinian officials. Closed areas in the West Bank and Gaza have been subject to intense shelling and firing. In some instances, Americans have been wounded and their property damaged. Major cities in the West Bank are often placed under Israeli military curfew. All persons in areas under curfew should remain indoors or risk arrest or injury. Americans have been killed, seriously injured, detained, and deported as a result of encounters with Israeli Defense Forces operations in Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli authorities may impose travel restrictions with little or no warning and travelers run the risk of finding themselves stranded as a result. Due to the closures and fighting, provision of medical and humanitarian care has been severely delayed in those areas.
In addition, dual Palestinian-American citizens may encounter difficulties, or be barred from, entering and/or departing Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, especially during times of Israeli closures. Americans who hold Palestinian ID numbers should consult the Embassy or Consulate for the most recent information before attempting to cross relevant borders. These restrictions can change frequently and without any advance notice.
During times when the closures and curfews are lifted, in order to depart Israel via Ben Gurion Airport, Palestinian-Americans must apply for an Israeli transit permit. Except in humanitarian or special interest cases, Israeli authorities are unlikely to issue this permit. In this event, and notwithstanding the restrictions mentioned above, travelers must depart via land crossings and may experience lengthy delays. All travelers who enter or travel in Gaza or the West Bank should expect delays and difficulties at Israeli military checkpoints located throughout those areas, and should exercise particular care when approaching and traveling through checkpoints. Travelers should also be aware they might not be allowed passage through the checkpoints.
From time to time, the Embassy and Consulate General may temporarily suspend public services to review their security posture. Due to current limitations on official travel by U.S. Government employees to the West Bank and Gaza made necessary by the unrest and uncertain conditions, the ability of consular staff to offer timely assistance to U.S. citizens in need in these areas is considerably reduced at present. U.S. citizens who require emergency services may telephone the Consulate General in Jerusalem at (972) (2) 622-7230 or the Embassy in Tel Aviv at (972) (3) 519-7551.
Information on travel and security in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza may be obtained from the department of state by calling 1-888-407-4747 within the United States, or, from overseas, 1-317-472-2328. U.s. citizens should consult the consular information sheet for Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, the Middle East and North Africa public announcement, and the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement at the Department's Internet site at http://travel.state.gov. Up-to-date information on security conditions can also be accessed at http://www.usembassy-israel.org.il or http://jerusalem.usconsulate.gov.
