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.

Now you of all people, when it was brought up about Jill's postings IH etc encouraged it all, what gives?

That situation was much different. We were dealing with a video that was released over the internet... an old video at that. There was never any question as to if that video was real but about the code found in it. I never was really convinced one way or another with that one.

Like I said, ATS is a great place. I think we have people here who do as good of detective work as they do. Many here chose to believe what the feds said in regards to the videos and I think that is the wise choice.

Possibly because one of the problems with translating is an individual's/organization's perception of what's actually being said.

You are probably correct. I was interested because state can be interchanged with nation in most contexts. I was interested to see the Arabic transcript because there is a different word that would be used to reference a U.S. state. I didn't read the whole MEMRI article before posting my comment, it cleared some things up.

I also got conformation from Freeper StillProud2BeFree that the term used would reference U.S. states in particular.

Thanks for the clarifications on the wording callmejoe.

Right. Middle of open land. No PPE. Shadows suggest that it's not noon, and no shadows of wind barriers in close-up. No hermetic container. Not the standard config for a Qassim rocket either. Could be Nevada as well as Iraq.

I'm with you Z. Don't think so.

exerpts:

* tyranny of the American/Israeli coalition against our people in Palestine and Lebanon

* gave birth to a strong resolve to punish the oppressors

* the events of September 11th came as a reply to those great wrongs

* we have found it difficult to deal with the Bush administration

* All that we have to do is to send two Mujahideen to the furthest point East to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses without their achieving for it anything of note other than some benefits for their private companies.

* And the same goes for your allies in Palestine. They terrorize the women and children, and kill and capture the men as they lie sleeping with their families on the mattresses, that you may recall that for every action, there is a reaction.
(He will hit Israel IMO)

What I didn't see in this transcript is the threats to specific states in the red?
