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."

Well, we see what Iran and possibly China has to say about this tape.

As for the Mahdi thing, according to the boards/sites I have visited; Muslims seem to be divided as to what level of importance UBL holds. Some say he is just being used now as a talking head; others say it is time to move on.

Bin Laden threatens new attacks
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/3966741.stm

Arabic TV station al-Jazeera has broadcast a videotape apparently featuring Osama Bin Laden, in which he threatens new attacks on the US.

In his opening remarks, the al-Qaeda leader accused President George W Bush of deceiving Americans in the years since the 11 September 2001 attacks.

He compared the Bush administration to what he termed corrupt Arab regimes.

The development comes as US voters prepare to go to the polls on Tuesday in the presidential election.

Bin Laden said he first thought of attacking the US after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982.

He said the attacks on the US would have been less severe if President Bush had been more alert.

But he added that the security of the American people depended neither on Mr Bush nor on his challenger, John Kerry, but on US policy.

"The reasons to repeat what happened remain," he said, quoted by the AFP news agency.

If genuine, this is the first videotape of Bin Laden speaking to have surfaced since the US-led war in Afghanistan following the 11 September attacks, which he is generally thought to have masterminded.

It was not obvious when the video was recorded.

However, several audio messages believed to be from Bin Laden have emerged since then.

The most recent, posted on a website known to be used by Islamist militants, strongly criticised the US and coalition forces in Iraq and ordered a jihad, or holy war, against them.

Bin Laden's Message To America
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/29/terror/main652373.shtml

(CBS/AP) The Arab television station Al-Jazeera aired a video of Osama bin Laden on Friday directly admitting for the first time that he carried out the Sept. 11 attacks and promising to outline "the best way to avoid another Manhattan."

It was the first footage of the al Qaeda leader to surface in more than a year. The video showed bin Laden in traditional white robes, a turban and a cloak reading from papers and standing in front of a plain, brown cloth background.

"We decided to destroy towers in America," bin Laden said.

He said the attack was carried out because "we are a free people ... and we want to regain the freedom of our nation."

"Your security is not in the hands of (Democratic candidate John) Kerry or (President ) Bush or al Qaeda. Your security is in your own hands," he said.

I have to step away from terror for a moment to post this and show you all what we must contend with here in Chgo.:

ALERT: The Keyes for Senate campaign is UNDER ATTACK.

After Alan's tremendous three debate wins in the Illinois
U.S. Senate race -- first, it was the letters.

Hate mail. Letters full of some of the most vile, despicable, vitriolic profanity you could possibly imagine. The workers in our donation processing center practically had to wade through the rush of filth that came pouring in.

But that was only the beginning.

This week, the filth literally DID come in -- someone mailed HUMAN WASTE to the donation center.

This is the kind of disgusting behavior we've come to expect from the radical left and the enemies of the kind of traditional American values Alan Keyes stands strong for.

But that "package" didn't shut us down. Our workers disposed of the excrement, and got back to work processing the thousands of donations and letters of strong support coming in from all over America.

Today was different. Today, we WERE shut down.

Today, our donation processing center received a package in the mail. Our people were immediately suspicious -- they had been trained in what to look for...

... And this package fit the description.

It looked like we had a pipe-bomb.

The police were immediately called in. They examined the
package and called the FBI, the ATF and the bomb squad right away. The entire building was evacuated.

After putting up a police cordon, x-rays, scanning, and
carefully getting the package open... it turned out to be a railroad spike with a hate letter.

Do you see what we're up against? The kind of people we have to stand up to as we fight for the truth, and work to defend everything right and decent?

Today, it might not have been an actual bomb... but it had
its intended effect. On our biggest donation day Keyes 2004 has seen in our processing center, we had to SHUT DOWN.

My friend, there's only FOUR CRITICAL DAYS left before
election day comes. We lost an ENTIRE DAY -- 25% of our
time -- because of this threatening bomb
scare.

'directly admitting for the first time that he carried out the Sept. 11 attacks and promising to outline "the best way to avoid another Manhattan."


HMMMM- is he offering to negotiate, perhaps no longer capable of pulling off the mass destruction attack he promised? Or is he simply laying out to the American people that we need to change our Mideast policies or get hit again....very confusing.
