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."

Oh my God Ex-Soldier, that brings tears to my eyes. Amber is aware of your loss (and her's too). How cool is that. God is taking care of you Ex-Soldier, by reminding you of the ones who remain. You are blessed with loving animals (and loving family), which is much more than many in this world have. Thank you for sharing that with me (us) and know that there are many more of us out here with the same degree of love for our pets as you have with yours (and who have also experienced similar deep suffering at their loss). Bless you for putting your pain in words, because it must have been excruciating for you to do and that took true bravery.

What you guys really mean to say is that you have failed to find any trace of the numerous cells that have so well integrated themselves into our society that they are almost impossible to detect.

Absolutely correct. They will never affirm it though.

"Jumbo jet passes within 200 meters of Tokyo Tower"

Tuesday, October 19, 2004 at 07:13 JST
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TOKYO — An Orient Thai Airways chartered jumbo jet passed within 200 meters of the tip of Tokyo Tower in the early hours of Sept 19, Ministry of Transport officials said Monday.

TBS news reported that the jet, bound for Haneda Airport, veered off course at 12:20 a.m. after the pilot was given clearance by traffic control at Haneda to locate the airport with the naked eye rather than by radio beacon.

The plane was supposed to come in over Tokyo Bay but instead crossed over Tokyo Station and the Nihombashi district, flying at an altitude of 540 meters. Tokyo Tower stands 330 meters tall."

~banging head on desk here~
No evidence of criminal activity
City of Pewaukee - Although police investigated a suspicious incident and turned the information over to Homeland Security, City of Pewaukee Police Chief Gary Bach said there is little need for citizens to be alarmed. (snip)

"As far as we're concerned, this is it," Bach said of the incident. "Unless someone comes forward, there's no criminal activity that took place in Pewaukee. The worst case would be trespassing."

Double banging head on desk

I live in Pewaukee and this is the first I've heard of this.

Back in August I was hangin out at the beach and a car full of ME/Mexicans (hard to tell the difference sometimes) drove by very slowly videoing taping everything. Being from the TM I immediately noticed but nobody else did. Very conspicious. But nothing illegal.

On a similar note, I work with illegal aliens from Mexico. I just found out that a couple more are on thier way. In Texas right now. I asked one of these guys HOW do they get here and I was told "nothing is impossible if you have the right connections and money".

Its not a secret that these guys are illegal so why are they allowed to stay? . . . anybody?
