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.


"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat."

when it comes to LAW ENFORCEMENT, bottom line, in most cases politics and popularity doesn't enter into the equation.

Not at the level of the average street cop. Not even at the level of the working federal agent. But at the upper levels of policy and administration (local state and federal) it's words to live by!

I agree with you. I have always thought it was Clinton. However, there is another suspect, Mrs. Clinton. I too have always said he would become Secretary General. But it really freaks me out to think of him as S.G and Hildebeast as President. This could be the scenario in 2008. The Islamic nutjobs and globaqlists are just the laying the groundwork out for them to have total control. It sucks.

There are alot of small plane crashes. But these aren't the one. It is a big jet, with a red stripe. It crashes into a building but the building is yellow or has yellow stripes/borders/etc. What is a yellow HVT?

IRAQI CHRISTIANS PRAY FOR HOSTAGE

By Jeremy Reynalds
Special Correspondent for ASSIST News Service

BAGHDAD, IRAQ  (ANS) -- Christian worshipers in Iraq prayed on Sunday for the release of kidnapped humanitarian aid worker Margaret Hassan.

Parish priest al-Khori Rufaeel, deputy head of the Syrian Catholic Community, condemned her abduction, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported, saying it did not serve the country's interests.

Preaching in Baghdad, he emphasized Hassan’s long track record of humanitarian work for Iraq and its people.

Hassan works for CARE, a non-governmental charitable organization that has assisted in Iraq for the last 14 years.

Reuters news agency reported, the BBC said, that insurgent commanders in Falluja said they were not holding Hassan.

One of five guerrilla commanders, quoted by Reuters said, “The resistance did not kidnap her because this would have left a bad impression of the resistance in the world."

Another commander told Reuters, “This woman works for an humanitarian organization - she should not have been kidnapped.”

They said there was no evidence that Jordanian militant Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad group - which abducted and beheaded British hostage Kenneth Bigley - was involved.

In a video released on Friday, Hassan - who has dual Iraqi and British citizenship was seen tearfully pleading British Prime Minister Tony Blair to withdraw troops to save her life.

However, Arabic News reported that interim Iraqi prime minister Eyad Allawi will not give in to the kidnapers demands.

In an interview with Fox News broadcast Sunday, Allawi said “we should stay very tough and not to give up the issue of bringing terrorists before the judiciary.”

Allawi expressed hope, Arabic News reported, that Hassan would be released.

In the first British official reaction to the appeal, Arabic News reported that British foreign office secretary Jack Straw said that the video taped appeal is shocking. He called for Hassan’s release and asked for all Iraqis to join a call to see Hassan immediately released.

The BBC also reported that Hassan’s husband Tahseen Ali Hassan in a televised appeal pleased with captors to release his wife.

“I beg you, in the name of Islam and Arabism,” he said, “while we are in the holiest Islamic month, to return my wife.”

Tahseen Ali Hassan reiterated his wife’s Iraqi links, the BBC reported.

“Margaret is an Iraqi national and has been living in Iraq for more than 30 years. She considers Iraq her homeland. She loves Iraq and its people,” he said. “She considers my family to be her own. This is why she devoted herself and her life to help her people in Iraq.”

A statement on the CARE web site read, “In light of the latest video of Mrs. Hassan, CARE continues to be deeply concerned for her welfare. CARE joins with the many Iraqi people who Mrs. Hassan has helped over her decades of charitable work in Iraq in calling for her immediate release. Mrs. Hassan is an Iraqi citizen and holds the people of Iraq in her heart. Her tremendous dedication to the Iraqi people has been demonstrated through overwhelming public support in Iraq for her release. We call on the people who are holding Mrs. Hassan to be aware that she is an Iraqi and to release her to her family, her husband Tahsine and the Iraqi people who love her.”

You might check those Google searches for "plane", "jet" or "airplane" to find your answer.

I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to your question.

US Dollar continues to drop.
Down $1.12 to $84.85. (The lowest I have seen the dollar)

Gold has gone up $5.00 to $429.

Does not look good for today in the markets.

Thanks Britishchick for the earlier posts about the U$D. They seem to be right.
