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!

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. |

NW Indiana Muslim community plans subdivision surrounding mosque
The Associated Press
October 25, 2004 3:14 PM
MERRILLVILLE, IND. -- Members of a Muslim community in the Indiana suburbs of Chicago are planning a 300- to 400-acre residential community around their mosque, a spokesman said.
Development of high-end to medium-priced houses and high-end apartments is still one to two years away, but members of the Northwest Indiana Islamic Center already are acquiring land immediately west of its mosque, congregation spokesman Ali Khan said.
"A lot of subdivisions ... have country clubs but we're giving buyers an option to have a mosque as a centerpiece," Khan told The Times of Munster for a story Monday.
The plan represents the latest expansion of the region's Muslim community since the center was founded a decade ago about 30 miles southeast of Chicago. The center was remodeled two years ago to add a new 5,243-square-foot mosque and a 13,427-square-foot multipurpose room. It opened a school, Avicena Academy, in August.
Architectural sketches for the subdivision are due in May, Khan said.
"The Muslim community (in Merrillville) is growing because of a good relationship with members of the law enforcement, government officials and even those of other religions and faiths. We haven't had any negative incidents, and the word is getting around, even in Chicago," said Khan, an investment banker who lives in nearby Valparaiso.
Even so, some Merrillville officials suggest the plan has obstacles to cross before gaining approval, including extension of water and sewer lines to the area, near the Lake-Porter county line.
Town Councilman Shawn Pettit, who represents the area, said his chief concerns are the extension of the utilities as well as the potential for increased traffic. He said he already has received calls from some of the mosque's neighbors about the traffic and parking.
"I'm not against the development of the property but they have to be cognitive of those who lived there before them," Pettit said.
Dorinda Gregor, the town's assistant planning and building administrator, said that most of the acreage surrounding the Islamic center is zoned agriculture. She said that developers would have to go before the Plan Commission and have the land rezoned before plans proceed.
The 100 families who are members of the center represent a diverse mix whose nationalities and ethnicities include Asians, Arabs and black and other American converts.
"This idea came out of a concern for those in our community but the development would be marketed to everyone," Khan said.

"Naming Bin Laden the Al Mahdi during this Ramadan is significant.
If Bin Laden comes out from under a rock and declares Jihad, thats really significant."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This will put a twist on things, aren't they looking for 2 Al Mahdi's at the same time? On the same lines as the two witness in the Holy Bible.

Travllers back on Its Happening.... cant decode things he is saying because he is just nuts... see if you can He is reflecting the dollar concerns noted over the past few days here on the thread from other websites. While he makes some points, he overlooks a lot of other fundamentals controlling the things he seems to be talking about. He's not nutz, he's just a arrogant little *******.

This was a pretty long read and I'm still digesting the content. I'm in no way any sort of expert on ordnance of this type or any type! LOL But it seems to me that these warheads might not be functional or stable for that matter. IIRC, a warhead misfired earlier this year and had some Sarin in the tip as part of the package. Just because it's explosive doesn't mean it's going to work and be reliable....I think. It's a major lapse in security so that it must be worried about....but what if the stuff was looted before we had control of the country? We're only now finding out about it. The timing seems very suspect to me, too. Sort of like the revelation right before the 2000 election about GW's DUI.

Trav your list is not bad news for us it is good news. George Bush is much smarter than binny boy.
* Ur $ value is already low , can not lower it more .
~~~~~~~~ This means we buy the whole worlds goods cheaper.
* Ur inner debts are huge , can not debt more .
~~~~~~~~~~ Debt MAKES money think about it.
* Ur war against us ( Muslims ) are bleeding you badly , very badly .
~~~~~~~~~~~We are not at war with Muslims. We are at war with terrorist. An they are losing if they could hit us again they would have.
* Ur war at Iraq is also bleeding u badly .
~~~~~~~~~~~~You have lost over 100,000's people. We are rebuilding there and who do you think will PROFIT from that?
* You are not getting considerable economical results in return of ur war against us .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ War creates considerable economical growth.
* Your getting some free oil , your blackmailing some of rich Arab gulf countries , but what ur getting do not cover more than 20% of ur spendings .
~~~~~~~~~~~We are the most powerful counry in the world we can take all the oil if we care to. On top of that we have our own if needed.
* Your federal reservation of gold do not cover more than 8% of the value of the dollar .
~~~~~~~~~~~~ You put too much value on gold. Even if you were correct about this and you are not. How will gold feed anyone? Who would trade a loaf of bread for a gold bar? No one. America is the ONLY self reliant county in the world we don't need anyone YOU all need us.
* few numbers : sep11 direct loses were 98 bilions , indirect loses were 1000 bilion , costs at Iraq so far 138 bilion , costs of the anti "terror" war 485 bilion , and of course there are some bleedings here and there : Afganistan , ur bases here and there ..etc .
These are not direct loses where do you think this money is spent? IN AMERICA paying for soldiers new houses and cars. Building new airplanes, new tanks, new guns all AMERICAN made. So add all that together and look at the money put back into the US this money isn't lost into thin air it goes to the workers in AMERICA.
I really thought you were smarter then this!

RE: Mr. Trav --
He has two problems
1) He's an as_hole
2) He's stoned.
When he straightens up, he'll still have the first problem.
