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.

With the nation on high alert for al-Qaida terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security is putting its border officers through "etiquette" classes to soften their image and make them less threatening to arriving foreign immigrants, WorldNetDaily has learned.

I am a former Moslem and have been a believer since 1992. I learned about your book only a few days ago and even wrote a review for it on Amazon.com last night. (RM)

I am so very happy for you. Please share with us how you came to recognize that Islam was a lie. I would love to use it to free others.

ASSYRIAN COMPOUND ATTACKED IN BAGHDAD
No word of casualties

By: Stefan J. Bos
Special Correspondent, ASSIST News Service

BAGHDAD, IRAQ  (ANS) -- The Assyrian Christian Compound in Baghdad came under mortar attack Monday, August 9, just over a week after bombers killed up to 15 Christians, news reports and church officials said. (Pictured: Christians fleeing after church attack on Sunday, August 1)

Assyrian leaders said the targeted compound in the Iraqi capital's Zayuna district houses a clinic, a women's center and a computer center. It also provides free telephone calls to those in need and supports humanitarian relief activities in addition to serving as the nerve center for Assyrian Christians in Iraq.

There was no word of casualties, but the violence was expected to increase concern among Iraqi Christians. Hundreds and possible thousands of Christians have reportedly fled to countries such as Jordan and Syria following attacks against five Assyrian churches on Sunday, August 1, in Baghdad and Mosul.

PRAYING FOR BOMBERS

Those who stayed behind, including believers of Baghdad's Chaldean Church of St Peter and St Paul where most Christians died, have prayed for those responsible for what was the largest terrorist attack against Christians since the 15 months old insurgency began.

"We cannot understand why or how they could do something like this," Fr Faris Toma told the British daily The Daily Telegraph last week. "All we can do is ask God to give them forgiveness and grant us peace."

In addition the well informed Internet website Assyrianchristians.com (http://www.assyrianchristians.com) reported on other recent incidents, including the killings of two Christian children, six and sixteen, in their Baghdad home.

SECTARIAN 'WARFARE'

Monday's attack against the Assyrian compound further confirmed that "the anti-democratic forces in Iraq are trying to start sectarian 'warfare'", the community said in a statement released via the Internet.

Yet, "by attacking the various Assyrian Christian offices...they have failed to generate support from the Iraqi public who have been sympathetic to the plight of the Christians. This latest savage attack as the previous ones will fail because the Iraqi people understand what is happening," an official said.

The mainly Assyrian Christians are the indigenous people of Iraq, and experts say many were forcibly converted to the Moslem religion throughout the centuries and especially under the last years of the Saddam Hussein regime.

MASSIVE MIGRATION

While some church officials claim there are around 2.5 million Assyrian Christians still in Iraq, most estimates suggest the real figure may be roughly 750,000, due to persecution and massive migration.

"With the rise of radical Muslim clerics the situation has changed dramatically and there has been an exodus of these once large communities," said Ken Joseph, a spokesman for the Assyrian Christians in Iraq.

A hitherto unknown group, the "Planning and Follow-up Committee in Iraq", claimed responsibility for the attacks. It said: "Your mujahideen brothers dealt painful blows to the dens of the Crusaders, the dens of evil, corruption, vice and Christianization," the Daily Telegraph reported.

ENCOURAGED

However Joseph said he was encouraged that the "one Assyrian Christian Minister" in the government, Pascale Warda, enjoys "broad support" within the cabinet "for her courage and outspoken views supporting a strong and independent Iraq."

In addition Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's senior Shia cleric, has denounced the church bombings as "hideous crimes". Iraq's interim government blamed them on foreign Islamist militants led by the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, news reports said.

Yet at least one Assyrian Christian reportedly said Christians are showing defiance. "We were afraid before, we are no longer so," the unidentified woman was quoted as saying in an internet message from the Assyrian community. "I will wear my cross proudly. Nobody is going to force me, my family or our people from our country. The more they try the stronger we are becoming." she added.

Help My State PLEASE:

To: The National Republican Senatorial Committee; Senator Peter Fitzgerald; Speaker Dennis Hastert; all IL GOP Congressmen; IL GOP State Legislators; IL GOP Officers and State Central Committee Members; former Governors James Thompson, James Edgar, and George Ryan, also perhaps other present & former GOP public officials & candidates
In the spirit of unity, for effectiveness...

The Illinois GOP State Central Committee has wisely, boldly, and courageously reached out to Ambassador Alan Keyes, to be our Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate. We are very fortunate at this late hour to have this excellent candidate.

Now that we have the best candidate, we need Illinois’ network of Republican campaign contributors to honor him by their donations. Commensurate national support is also required. Such contributions also honor the massive volunteer effort motivated with Dr. Keyes.

We, who sign or electronically endorse this petition, entreat Republican leaders to…

1. personally contact key campaign donors you know, asking them to make significant contributions to the Keyes campaign
2. communicate your support of Alan Keyes to the campaign volunteers you know
3. network with the campaign, in public endorsements and the above activities

…this, in order to get Alan Keyes elected, to mutually energize our Republican campaigns, and to lift the Republican principles we all espouse to a renewed prominence, with the vigor that together we can bring to 2004’s elections and onward.

The time is short. We all need to act immediately and of our own initiative. The entire nation will be watching our performance in this unique and historic campaign. Will you join us in being a most effective part of it?

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Well I hope we caught him. He was all over the TV. I hope that some low rank soldier was in the "press" acting as a reporter. I know... it was that Verizon guy that found him on his global tour checking the statis of his phone. He just happened to walk in on al-Sadr. "Can you hear me know."

US embassy closed after threat

From correspondents in Colombo
August 10, 2004

THE US embassy in Sri Lanka closed today and staff were ordered to leave the compound after a security threat, diplomats said.

An embassy official would not give details but said the sudden closure of the embassy as well as its USAID and USIS operations at a nearby building was prompted by "security reasons."

"The embassy is closed for security and administrative reasons and that is all we can say at the moment," embassy spokesman Chris Long told AFP when contacted on a mobile phone.

He could not say what exactly the threat was or when the embassy planned to reopen for issuing visas and other consular services.

"We are currently evaluating the situation, we can't say when we will reopen," Long said.

Diplomatic sources said two upper floors of the embassy, located within a high-security zone of the capital, were closed initially following receipt of a letter which contained some unidentified "powder".

Fearing an anthrax-type attack, the embassy shut its air conditioning system, switched off fans and ordered staff to leave, the source said.

Most Western diplomatic missions here had stopped accepting mail from unknown sources following last year's anthrax scare.

Last month, a suspected Tamil Tiger suicide bomber detonated explosives strapped to her body at a police station right in front of the US embassy located adjoining the British High Commission (embassy).

Sri Lankan police said they were awaiting details from the US embassy staff before launching their own investigations.

Fox News reporting now that President Bush has named Porter Goss, Rep. Florida, to be new head of the CIA. Of course, he has to be confirmed...wonder how long that will take?

One more thing before I have to go offline. Today is the first Teacher Planning day of four for the rest of this week. NEXT week the kids come back. So my summer is over and now it's back to the grind. This will necessitate that my time here on the thread will be severely limited compared to the summer. I'll try to keep up as well as I can.
