The Threat Matrix

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!

Muslim group takes responsibility for 9-11: 'We are so sorry'

This September 11 marks the third unforgettable anniversary of the worst mass murder in American history.

After September 11, many in the Muslim world chose denial and hallucination rather than face up to the sad fact that Muslims perpetrated the 9-11 terrorist acts and that we have an enormous problem with extremism and support for terrorism. Many Muslims, including religious leaders, and "intellectuals" blamed 9-11 on a Jewish conspiracy and went as far as fabricating a tale that 4000 Jews did not show up for work in the World Trade Center on 9-11. Yet others blamed 9-11 on an American right wing conspiracy or the U.S. Government which allegedly wanted an excuse to invade Iraq and "steal" Iraqi oil.

Hallo folks Long time lurker on TM (since Day One last year), congratulations to you all for such a great job.

Delurking to bring you the following info: could be nothing at all but who knows? It's an interesting thread which has appeared on a UK forum which discusses TV Presentation. The poster's name is "BBC WORLD" (but he/she not of course necessarily linked to the BBC).

http://www.tvforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12458

Original Post follows:

It is not politially correct to make certain public statements in my part of the world (Middle East - UAE) due to local ways and customs, but does anyone know if any of the major UK broadcasters are mobilising crews and senior correspondents to the UAE today / tomorrow? Any insiders got any information?

We are expecting a major announcement from the Government and Ruling Family within the next couple of days about a major event that has occurred, although it will not be announced likely until the start of the Holy Month of Ramadan on Saturday 16th October.

Sensitivity about the subject forbids me from actually divulging what it is, but it is an event that I hope the BBC, ITN, CNN and Sky devote sufficient gravity to by mobilising senior correspondents, as opposed to new faces. (I am thinking of the Amanpours, Doucets, Witchells, Austins and Clancy's of this world.............)

Stay tuned. More to be revealed soon.

Two other posts...

Under the leadership of Sheikh Zayed, the UAE and the two Emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi have developed into two of the most forward thinking and modern places that exist on Earth. With it has come a remarkable level of respect for the Gentleman on the world stage, particularly within the Middle East.

There would be concerns about regional stability if there was a major change in direction brought about by a radical successor, should such an eventuality become necessary.

However, let's wait and see. The comments above about how such an incident would affect the west are irrelevant - BBC World, CNN and Sky News are supposedly Global News Providers and this region has millions of viewers who get their daily digest of news from these outlets. It would not seem proper that the London and US HQ's of these organisations slide our local events (major ones) down the running order, yet the bulge in George W Bush's jacket during a recent debate receives very wide coverage and presentation from weighty anchors. The locals here in the Gulf sometimes feel very left out of serious coverage.

If this is what we suspect this is, and this will require confirmation but I beleieve the Internation Affairs Team are very interested. Can you release more...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure with the expertise on the TM thread we can get to the bottom of this!

Here is an article from Oct 6th in which a person used similar language in their threat against another plane.

Hoax Bomb Threats Pose Dilemma For Airlines

LONDON -- In these days of jittery travel, sometimes just a phone call can ground an airplane. Over the past week and a half, false bomb threats have forced at least half a dozen flights to make emergency landings in Europe, frightening passengers, tangling schedules and costing airlines big money.

...A number of the calls were received in Germany, which could indicate they are from the same person, he said. Threats have been received by German police, a Munich television station and a Lufthansa office, authorities and those called have said.

The first Olympic diversion was prompted by a call to an Athens newspaper. "Flight 411 Olympic for America has a bomb for Iraq," a caller to the Ethnos daily said, according to a tape the newspaper made public. In a second call, a voice that sounded like a different person said, "Are you listening? Flight 411 Olympic for America, bomb. America will see. Six o'clock message for you." http://www.thedenverchannel.com/travelgetaways/3787269/detail.html

[4thygipper]

This may explain the hoax – the language is nearly identical to a hoax that was made a week ago.

Today’s threat 10-12

The email — suspected to have been sent from Germany — said in English: "Bomb to America". It then said in Dutch: "Flight SK3909 from Amsterdam to Chicago has a bomb for Iraq. America will see. Message for you".

RTV Noord Holland immediately alerted police after receiving the message at about midday. Flight SK 3909 flew above Ireland at 12.45pm.

Prior threat on 10-6

The first Olympic diversion was prompted by a call to an Athens newspaper.

"Flight 411 Olympic for America has a bomb for Iraq," a caller to the Ethnos daily said, according to a tape the newspaper made public. In a second call, a voice that sounded like a different person said, "Are you listening? Flight 411 Olympic for America, bomb. America will see.

Welcome UK Guy!

A very tantalizing first post, I might add.
Please keep us posted if you hear anything else.

[appalachian_dweller]

Howdy UK Guy. Thanks for the information. Sounds like the winds of change are blowing in the UAE. Just hope is a GOOD change and not a bad one.

Glad you decided to delurk. Welcome. Look forward to hearing from you.

All's quiet in Reston, Va. this morning except for traffic accidents. Saw 3 this morning and heard about a couple of tractor trailers that crashed on I-95 (don't have details).

Had I known it was Nat'l Wreck Your Car Day I'd have hit something, but I didn't get the memo. Sheesh.

[Velveeta]

Great sleuthing, 4thygipper!

How is the health of Mubarik?

[all4one]

Nice catch FO....this should be broadcast far and wide...well at least here at TM. The only problem with the current admin. broadcasting all of their accomplishments; is that it could hinder future huge successes. Sometimes the info. to make these AQ accomplishments is months in the making. If Kerry and his ilk get into office, we will be too busy pandering to the UN and Euroweenies to make these type of catches.

[UK Guy]

Thanks for the welcome!

4thygipper: A quick scan of Google News doesn't bring up anything specific about Mubarak's health, other than the usual concerns which have surfaced in the last few months.

Nothing further from the other thread re UAE, but you can be sure I'll be keeping an eye on it!

[appalachian_dweller]

>> If Kerry and his ilk get into office, we will be too busy pandering to the UN and Euroweenies to make these type of catches. <<

Yes indeed. Seems everyone I meet is for ketchup boy. Was talking w/ a co-worker today who's hoping the slime wins.

I told him I have a prediction:
IF KERRY GETS IN THE WH, WE WILL SUFFER ANOTHER CATASTROPHIC TERRORIST ATTACK ON US SOIL.

Sorry for the screaming there. After I said this, he looked really pissed off and walked away.

Sadly, if the people in this country are stupid enough to put that @ss-kissing dirtball in office, this country gets what it deserves. I really hate to say it because many innocent people will die, but hey, the terrorists are just a nuisance.

Freaking morons.

Sorry for the venting folks.

[British chick]

Welcome UK guy from a fellow Brit. (I'm presuming U.K stands for United Kingdom!?)

[UK Guy]

Thanks, British chick: I am indeed from the UK ;)

[British chick]

Thanks 4thygipper. If this is another hoax, they need to catch this person. Tracking terrorism site has a similar update.

[all4one]

Welcome UK Guy....some guesses that I have regarding UAE major announcement. Could they be getting ready to get U.S. military out of the country; and utilize only Arab military people to protect them. Do they know the location of Osama? Do they have some info on Saddam's WMD? Pertinent info. regarding UN Oil for Food? Perhaps (major tin foil) their oil reserves are running low.

Hmmm....is this going to be the "October Surprise"?

BTW how can they claim the following... "Under the leadership of Sheikh Zayed, the UAE and the two Emirates of Dubai and Abu Dhabi have developed into two of the most forward thinking and modern places that exist on Earth....it was just announced this week that women in Saudi Arabia will not be permitted to vote...and other than the 4,000+ members of the royal families, most of their people live in very poor conditions.

[UK Guy]

Hi all4one

I also half wondered about a possible Osama announcement, but then we've been there many times before, not holding my breath on that one :)

It's not clear whether the 'announcement' will truly be of world-wide interest (the original poster clearly thinks it is) or whether it'll turn out to be a damp squib for those of us in the west.

As for the remark you quoted, it appears to be the opinion of the original poster, I don't know what his/her agenda or background is.

The only slight clue so far that it might turn out interesting is from another poster, with his remark that the 'If this is what we suspect this is...the International Affairs Team are very interested'.

So at this stage I regard it as just one of those internet curiosities which may or may not lead somewhere interesting. We'll know for sure in the next few days.

I hate waiting for mysteries to be solved!

"The bomb threat made against a Chicago-bound flight that departed from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam..."

I am 6 miles due east of O'Hare. I am waiting for this flight to check in with Chicago ATC. I am monitoring Chicago Fire as well to see if they will be waiting for the arrival.

[all4one]

Round of applause to you app.....BTW are you as surprised as I am by some friends, acquaintances, co-workers, etc. who support these idiots?! I find that I have a different opinion of people who support Kerry. I don't want to look at them like they are ignorant nutjobs...but I do. The worst part is that you can't convince them with HARD FACTS...they just mumble something about no WMD, lies, Michael Moore references, etc. Most are so uninformed that I wonder if they really believe the MSM crap that they are spewing!!

If only to consider the fact that hairsprayed trial attorney Edwards would be a heartbeat away from presidency!!! For the love of Pete what does the POS have to offer anyone??
