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?

4 teachers in Thailand charged as terrorists
Reuters, Agence France-Presse
Friday, December 17, 2004

BANGKOK The Thai authorities said Thursday that they had arrested four Islamic teachers accused of masterminding "terrorism" in the kingdom's violence-racked south.

The four, detained in sweeps Tuesday and Wednesday in the south, were charged with treason and terrorism which carry the death penalty, the Southern Border Provinces Peace-Building Command said.

The head of the command, General Sirichai Tanyasiri, said that the four, all of whom taught at private Islamic schools in Yala Province, would be flown to Bangkok on Friday to appear before a criminal court.

"These suspects are key mastermind figures, especially Waeyuso Waedoramae, who ordered the theft of government firearms and the attacking of government officials as well as innocent civilians," the command said in a statement from Yala.

Witnesses also confirmed that Waeyuso was the man who ordered arson attacks on 36 government schools in 1993, it added.

A fifth suspect, identified as the headmaster of an Islamic school, escaped the sweeps but a warrant was issued for his arrest.

More than 560 people have been killed this year in the Muslim-dominated south of the mainly Buddhist country.

Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said the detainees were linked to a "separatist organization," believed to be part of an extensive network of insurgents and ringleaders.

We have clear evidence which will explain the overall picture," he said.

Asked whether there would be more arrests, Thaksin said that the authorities were closing in on "about 100 core members" of the insurgency but killings were likely to continue until those arrests were made.

In addition to Waeyuso, Abdulroseh Haji Doroh is being held on suspicion controlling money sent from overseas to finance operations, General Sirichai Thunyasiri said in a news conference in Pattani Province in the south.

Sirichai identified the other two as Ahama Bula and Mohammed Kanafi Doroh, but he did not specify their roles.

The fifth person suspected of leading what has increasingly taken on the appearance of an insurgency fled before a raid on his house, Sirichai said. The suspect, Sapaeing Bazo, was the principal of a private Islamic school in Yala Province.

Indonesian Police Seize 'Bomb-Making Equipment' on Bus

Indonesian police seized a cache of suspected bomb-making equipment on a bus today, days after Britain, Australia and other countries warned that terrorists were preparing to launch fresh attacks in the country.

Police arrested 15 passengers, including the driver of the bus, which was stopped in the West Javanese town of Bandung. Three people were being questioned ”intensively”, said West Java detective chief Col Ahmad Abdi.

Police swooped about 75 miles south east of Jakarta, after an anonymous tip-off, he said. Officers found an unspecified amount of detonators and electrical wires in a box on the bus.
