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 arrest 13 in anti-terror operation

LONDON (AP) — Police conducted anti-terrorism raids in London and several towns Tuesday, arresting 13 people believed involved in preparing terrorist acts.

London’s Metropolitan Police said the afternoon and evening arrests were “part of a pre-planned, on-going intelligence-led operation.”

They said men were detained “on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism,” but did not elaborate.

The police said the arrests were in northwest London, suburban Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire and in Lancashire, northwestern England. Detectives were searching homes in all those locations, police said.

The suspects, who are all in their 20s and 30s, will be brought to a central London police station for questioning by anti-terrorism officers, police said.

“Today’s operation is part of continuing and extensive inquiries by police and the Security Service into alleged international terrorism,” the police statement said.

I must have missed that Atlantic monthly article. If I find it, I will see if I can post it here for all to read.

It might be the AM article that LayoutGuru2 posted a link to here:

I've never heard the one about the newspaper, but that sounds pretty good. I'll have to test fly it.

Improvised weapons are definitely an art the terrorist will discover if they mess with ordinary Americans on an aircraft in flight, if they havent already with flight 93.

There are a lot of the warrior class out there who would not hesitate to introduce the goblins to that little art.


I used to carry a kubaton a few years back, when I was in law enforcement. They do a good job when you use them on the nerve plex by the ribs, but I wouldnt recommend that for beginners. Excellent for escort and control of rowdy drunks.

How about serving Pork on the airflights? And passing out Pork Rinds instead of Peanuts or Pretzels?

I'll have to test fly it.

I've already fly tested it. :)

[ExSoldier]

A variation or should I say an evolution of the Kubaton is called the Kerambit. It's an innocous looking little piece of plastic that looks like it's shaped into a broad "L" shape with a hole in one end. Use it correctly and you can take anyone any size at anytime.

Bump sending this to everyone I know, especially the libs

[judicial meanz]

LOL..

It looks like all clear here..finally

I'm a little loopy today, having dodged another hurricane. Just got my house put back together from the last one.

From another FR thread on the British bust:

She said the men had been dressed by police in white paper suits and their hands and feet covered with plastic bags before they were driven away.

Makes you think bio or chem . . .

[JustPiper]

bttt!

[judicial meanz]

That has to be BIO-CHEM.

If they had their hands and feet in baggies for forensic evidence preservation the police would use paper baggies to wrap around the hands and feet because it breathes and preserves the evidence better.

[HipShot]

I suppose I'll just hafta rely on the old Mossberg 590. :(
Poor me.

[judicial meanz]

LOL...that post failed miserably!

I agree, most unusual and that is the only thing that would come to mind as well. Perhaps British Chick could confirm if this is common handling proceedures or unusual.
