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.

Al-Battar 20 is out as of 10/12.

I have copied it to my homepage here for anyone to peruse.

It will be on my homepage for a few days and then I'll remove it.

(I apologize in advance for the crummy html, but that's about as good as I can manage.)

This link goes to a video of all the slaughters done by the jihadis on video. The majority of these have been widely seen and discussed on tv. Others I have never seen before, and wish I never had....I"m not going to sleep well tonight at all. *** D**M a**holes actually torture one guy before they behead him, by just cutting his throat a bit, and letting him lie there and bleed..then they finally kill him. I can not imagine what those people's last few minutes of life was like....absolute horror.

"The U.S will face responsibility for its position as an accomplice with Israel to the animosity."

"Gee, I'd say that's a threat by Hamas..."(Velveeta)

Reminds me of Bin Laden's declaration of war in his fatwa back in 1996. Which, unfortunately, Clinton, and most people, ignored.

I hope our GOV is aware of this statement and declares war on Hamas by name.

A few interesting subjects on the class curricula from the Islamic Jaffaria Education Center in Florida. On their website they refer to the school as a Madressa. Classes are held each Sunday for children ages 5 through 18.

The curricula is quite lengthly and IMO interesting. These are but a few highlights:

GRADE 4 (AGE 10/11)
Covering social jihad

GRADE 5 (AGE 11/12)
Taqlid -- Ways of obtaining the fatwas of a Mujtahid
NEWS AT BRIEF: Crimes committed in the western countries

GRADE 7 (AGE 13/14)
Jihad -- The true meaning of Jihad Various types of Jihad and When does Jihad become obligatory

GRADE 8 (AGE 14/15)
Violence in the Western civilization verses the Eastern civilization

The curricula states it is for 2001-2002, but, the link to the 2004-2005 curricula from the main page is the same.

In regards to your note on the California High Voltage Line Tower sabotage. The individual was reportedly apprehended in Sacramento at the end of October 2003. The acts of saotage occured in September and October of 2003 in Oregon and California.

Micheal Devlyn Poulin, 62 of Spokane,Wa has a criminal past (convicted to life imprisonment for murder in the early 1970's, but only served 8 years prior to being paroled)and stated is act was intended to highlight the nations lack of power infrastructure security.

Above ad-libed from article below

http://www.billingsgazette.com/index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2003/11/03/build/nation/80-sabotage.inc

I thought I read that he was also tied to one of the Northwest EcoTerror groups (of which we have more than our fairshare of up here) - still trying to find that article.

[7mmMag@LeftCoast]

In regards to the story of China amassing troops along the North Korean border.

I have only seen a couple of stories that were published as news articles overseas that were dated September 2003. No one has been able to reference any thing current, nor have I found anything that could be independently corraborated. Which begs the questions: Were they false reports? or Why did the Beijing back down?

If you have some additional news stories that can place this in a current time frame, could you please post it. This would be of a very significant nature, in regards to security on the Korean Peninsula.
Not withstanding that I live less than 5 miles from McChord AFB and Ft. Lewis and it seems our nutjobs in pongyongpingpong have a missile capable of reaching here.

"Yes, the start should be on the 15/16, depending on when the moon is first spotted (I believe the official spotting occurs in Saudi Arabia).

I hate to do this, but this song just popped into my head this afternoon. Just sitting at my desk, working a spreadsheet. Just mindlessly singing the chorus in my head, then the right side of the brain listened to the left side and I just went "Oh CRAP!"

CCR Bad Moon Lyrics

[callmejoe]

"Four shook Violent explosions Four sites for thegatherings of the Jewish in the Sinai Peninsula, four of the Islam young manled them in a bold heroic operation, and dropped tens of dead and the injuredfrom the infidels where they injured the Zionist enemy by the panic and theconfusion that appeared a clear in the statement of the Zionist Deputy DefenseMinister when he said that did not expect an operation by a big size as this." (pg 20)

I may be wrong, but I thought there were three explosions (Taba, Nuweiba, and As-Satan). If there was a fourth, non-publicized one, then they just took credit.

Here's a handy moon-spotting site, also appears to contain a lot of useful information about islamic dates

For aviation matters, you can often find interesting chatter here on the PPRuNe Forum (Professional Pilots Rumour Network)

Currently discussing the 747 crash in 'Rumours and News'

They also had a thread a while back talking about the B727 that was nicked in Africa a couple of years ago.

From your post #390: "The witnesses said they saw three or four men they described as Middle Eastern looking videotaping the building and the surrounding area.

Surprise, surprise. Good post Vel, thanks.
