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.

Ramadan terror concerns?
Full Story

ATLANTA (CNN) -- As more than one billion Muslims prepare to celebrate Ramadan, terror experts are mixed about whether the holy month is a tool for recruiting terrorists.

Some terrorism experts and Islamic scholars say Ramadan gives extremists an opportunity to enlist new recruits.

"It's a time which can be exploited by radical clerics to motivate individuals into taking action on the basis they are somehow serving their religion," says terror expert M.J. Gohel.

And analysts see another temptation for terrorists: exploiting the Battle of Badr, a symbolic date in Muslim history, which falls near the U.S. presidential election.

Was it in the Battar magazine that the instructions were given to fix the gas lines in apartment houses, so they would explode?

I know Russia has had several gas type explosions in the last year.

Your link for the truck accident, at the end there is a link for related items, and it had a school bus accident listed, but I couldn't open the link.

From IPN: (www.incidentpage.net)

DuPage County (Addison) | 3 Alarm Fire | 154.265 | 16 E. Lake | U/D:: 3-ALM, gas explosion at walgreens, mabas div 12 m/a [ILL034] | ILL068

That was current as of 1:55 PM Central time. Overheard a traffic copter report that it looked like the roof was going along with the rear wall. First report was just after 1 PM.

DLN....regarding the release of the train bombing tapes...like you indicated this coincides the the trial....but they have been shown so much over the last two days; it has made me wonder if somehow they are being shown to make people more aware of their surroundings etc.

[all4one]

Also RR.....when pumping gas I alway use a paper towel between my hand and the gas nozzle. I have gotten some odd looks, but thankfully I am never sick. Also use my foot or sleeve when opening doors to stores etc.

Unfortunately, a certain webmaster has listed my Links Of Interest, Mr. Weisburd's Haganah Internet, and a certain site that we don't mention on the Threat Matrix on the top link url of that long list you see.
http://www.hostinganime.com/meshawir/english.html

In the interest of keeping my Links of Interest current; I follow the links on that page and see where they lead.

I do not read Arabic.

I go to all the sites I list on Links On The Net. As to if they are safe to go to; I don't know.

Those are very good questions bored at work.

ARTICLE SNIPPET - Worth Repeating:

"The source had no indication of when or how that would be done, or by whom. There have been no recent intelligence reports of al Qaeda plans for attacks. However, several other sources of intelligence indicated that al Qaeda is planning to disrupt the elections, officials said. A second official said that the intelligence stating that a major attack is coming was derived from a variety of sources and that the false report has not led to changes in current threat assessments. "Is there still reason to be concerned that al Qaeda is interested in attacking the homeland? Absolutely," the official said. As for the false source, the second official said intelligence always comes from sources of varying reliability. "We get lots of information; some of it is reliable, and some of it's not so reliable," the official said.

Indianapolis, October 19 - A stash of military explosives and weapons turned up in the middle of Connersville. Police say the explosives, used typically by the military for training, were found right in the middle of town just off the courthouse square.

Jim Wulff of Connersville says he found the explosives "right out there in the open. There was like eight smoke grenades, there was some artillery simulators and some flash bangs."

On Tuesday the Indiana State Police bomb squad destroyed some of those explosives in a training exercise.

So how did all that stuff, plus three shotguns and other military items, find its way into a downtown Connersville office building? Police think the former owner, a one time lawyer and Army reservist, may have left the stuff when he closed his practice about three years ago.

I think it was the Battar magazine, although I don't remember which one.

Have you seen NoE? It seems WND has paid attention to my findings on Kerry

[JustPiper]

Seems the Dems know they will lose this election and on Shep and all day on FNC they've been saying they will contest even if Bush wins handily, I wish this would encite judges to put the kabosh on the court's waste of time and money, this is what Bush means when he refers to frivilous lawsuits
