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.

YOU be the judge and get informed!

Connect these dots, now
Full Story

"We should have secured the Mexican border."

That could be the pitiful lament we hear from negligent U.S. officials if Al Qaeda pulls off an attack on the United States using weapons of mass destruction smuggled across our southern frontier.

Were that horrendous event to happen, leaders in the administration and Congress would be justly hit with the same question that was perhaps unjustly cast at them and their predecessors after the unprecedented Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: Why didn't they connect the dots?

"Several gun-related cases also sprang from the investigation. Assalaam and four other men were charged as felons possessing firearms, including several handguns, two shotguns and an AK-47 assault rifle."

"In one instance, federal agents had reported "unusual activity" at a shooting range in Renton involving one of the men apparently teaching a group of individuals how to shoot. "

"In a related case in King County Superior Court, prosecutors in October filed assault and extortion charges against some individuals associated with an Islamic religious school run out of a South Seattle barbershop. The school was "training children ... in Anti American rhetoric," and "how to shoot and fight the Americans," according to court documents."

"The owner of a restaurant downstairs from the Crescent Cuts barbershop on Rainier Avenue South told police that he had been asked to participate in the bank-fraud scheme. When he refused, he said, he was assaulted by a group of individuals and beaten with a meat tenderizer."

And so on and so on.... ;-)

The chemical/bio threat is worrisome.

I hadn't seen all the detail on this guy. WOW!

'Terrorism website'

James Lewis QC, acting for the US government, said Mr Ahmad ran a website - Azzam.com - that encouraged terrorist acts.

The site said it was a religious obligation for all Muslims who could not fight to donate money to jihad, Mr Lewis said.

He also told the court that Mr Ahmad had e-mail links to a Chechen rebel leader who planned the 2002 Moscow theatre siege, in which 129 hostages died.

It was claimed another e-mail found in the Azzam account was from an individual who said he was serving in the Middle East with the US Navy, but which expressed hatred towards the US and support for terrorism.

Mr Lewis also alleged that from mid-1997 to early 1998 Mr Ahmad had attempted to buy up to 5,000 tons of sulphur phosphate.

There was also evidence the suspect had made a "miscellaneous" shipment to Pakistan, the court was told.

Great site. Thanks for the non-terror related link. You know you need therapy when your kids give you jihad books for your birthday.

Bin Laden, Zarqawi Said Trying to Communicate

Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and the network's ally in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, are trying to communicate with each other even as they continue to elude U.S. forces, a senior U.S. general said on Friday.
