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."

I think the big question is regarding Senator Dayton's desertion of D.C. until the election is over. There are two issues, as I see it:

1. What does Senator Dayton know?

2. Why did Senator Frist divulge top secret info to him?

For Discussion:
25 Chechens - That would make 5 groups of 5.

5 hard to reach targets? ("hard to reach" I mean please where fair skinned people would be seen as not to draw attention)

5 nukes? If nukes, they they probably would not carry them in their backpacks...probably already in the US.

Just thinking out loud.

An idea in a sequential martyrdom operation
Bsm Allah Al-Rahman Al-Raheem

And this operation she :

When a specific target is meant . . The first carries out the place 's blow-up of the goal . . . Then the other lurks an expected until the rescues team and the police and other come . . He hits its hitting that the needy unbelievers will devour . . .

He kept off it : they will live in a fear . . Before the operation . . . And during the operation . . . And after the operation . . . A continuous awe .

And peace be upon you ¡ ¡ ¡

Thanks for the piracy report link, Cindy.

Speaking of waterways, the other evening I had a dream I was jet skiing and came across a group of terrorist jet skiers off the coast of Long Island! What a scream it was.

This will likely be a key subject of concern. Remember, AQ was looking for more 'western' appearing terrorists to penetrate the US. Recent Chechen attacks in Russia and the apparent AQ link are concerning. It was also about the July timeframe that all the concern and attention started to be directed towards the Mexican border. Anyone connect more dots?

Remember that the summer threat emerged right after the interception of the Pakistani woman on the Texas border with the South African passports who was heading to NYC, and the subsequent uncovering of various AQ biggies in Pakistan, including one of Shukrijumah's African associates on the original BOLO list of the seven suspects released in late 2002. It seemed that those events in July led to the discovery of the threats against NYC/NJ/DC financial targets. But simultaneously, this infiltration was happening hundreds of miles to the west.

Except for a very few miles of the New Mexico border, the only state Sonora borders is Arizona. It may not just be a gateway. It may be a target.

It could still be that the July NYC/DC/NJ financial targets were not meant to be the main event. While that threat may have been very real, it may have also been a diversion to attract scrutiny to a secondary rather than a primary target, which could still be somewhere in the DC/NYC areas, but may also be very different, such as Arizona, which if timed properly would have a marked effect.

Just because they are Chechens does not necessarily mean this has anything to do with schools. Ayman al-Zawahiri (nominal AQ operational leader who just pulled off a simultaneous strike in his home country directed against Jews on the Israeli border - - the first major AQ strike directed at Israel) was reportedly active in Chechnya in the mid-90s both in efforts to train local AQ cells and to acquire nuclear materials/weaponry.

Zawahiri has issued two taped threats in the past 35 days. Every one of these taped threats over the past decade (except for two threats in October 2001 - - which debatably could be related to the downing of the airplane over Rockaway and the Dragonfire threat) has been followed by a successful attack.

The other shoe is about to drop.

http://www.washtimes.com/national/20041013-121643-5028r.htm

U.S. security officials are investigating a recent intelligence report that a group of 25 Chechen terrorists illegally entered the United States from Mexico in July.
    The Chechen group is suspected of having links to Islamist terrorists seeking to separate the southern enclave of Chechnya from Russia, according to officials familiar with intelligence reports.
    Members of the group, said to be wearing backpacks, secretly traveled to northern Mexico and crossed into a mountainous part of Arizona that is difficult for U.S. border security agents to monitor, said officials speaking on the condition of anonymity. . . .

    U.S. security officials have been concerned in recent months that al Qaeda or other terrorists are planning to enter the United States from Mexico.
    Intelligence officials said a suspected al Qaeda leader who has been in the United States was spotted recently in Mexico. Officials believe Adnan Shukrijumah, whom the FBI wants for questioning, met with alien smugglers in Mexico and Honduras and was seeking ways to bring al Qaeda members into the United States. Shukrijumah was seen in August in the Sonora province of northern Mexico, officials said.
