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!

"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? |

I'd have to click on my images to find it...but I think his was a 2002 photo-graphic and it is unknown how old that photo was.
Other terrorists have photos on the 'net wearing cold-weather apparel.

Two new grafs from AP (re: LNG):
While the report does not recommend prohibiting tankers from carrying LNG through heavily populated areas, it says those shipments should occur only after the most rigorous deterrent measures are in place to reduce the probability of an attack.
The tankers, each of which carries up to 30 million gallons of LNG, arrive every few days at four U.S. terminals: Everett, Mass.; Cove Point, Md.; Elba Island, Ga., and Lake Charles, La. All are expanding as regulators weigh the merits of putting more than three dozen more such facilities at U.S. ports, many in urban areas.

Thanks, MamDearest.
I was finally able to connect into that link again.
It does read as 2 separate sweeps.

Pakistan arrests al-Qaida operatives
Tuesday, December 21, 2004 at 05:41 JST
ISLAMABAD Pakistani security authorities have arrested several alleged key operatives of the terrorist network al-Qaida in two separate sweeps in Abottabad in Northwest Frontier Province and Lahore in Punjab, a reliable intelligence source said Monday.
"We cannot reveal further details because of security reasons. I can say that some important arrests have been made," the source said. (Kyodo News)
Intriguing...

Security Drill at Weapons Plant Raises Safety Questions (The New York Times)
OAK RIDGE, Tenn - In the predawn hours of Sept. 2, at the plant that stores the nation's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, guards wearing body armor and carrying loaded submachine guns were dispatched to intercept a group of men who had apparently set off an intrusion alarm. But the target group turned out to be a second team of guards, who were conducting a mock attack with laser-tag equipment.
The armed guards, a "shadow force" maintained in reserve during such drills, rushed through the dark, ready, people involved said, to shoot at a group whom they believed were intruders.
Such a deployment is virtually unheard of, security experts said, and had it led to a shooting, the incident could have destroyed the ability to hold such drills, a crucial tool in determining if the plant is adequately defended. The plant, called Y-12, is owned by the Department of Energy but is defended by a contractor, Wackenhut.
"For two minutes, it was mass confusion," said one of the guards on duty that night. "People asked several times, 'Is this a drill?' Nobody would clarify."

I quite agree that the 'real nightmare' would be an actual nuclear detonation.
I'm not sure, however, that at 'dirty bomb' can be brushed off so easily. It very much depends on what kind of radioactive material is disbursed and where whether the threat is mostly psychological or quite real.
Leaving a few patches of very valuable real estate in the middle of a few cities uninhabitable for decades (or centuries) could have a devastating economic effect. Even having to spend months decontaminating, say Wall Street, the Port of Los Angeles, the neighborhood around the Chicago Board of Trade, and the Port of Galveston could set off a world economic downturn.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Is this story just now coming to light?
Lets not forget that Khadafi's stockpile of nuclear material is now stored at Oak Ridge.

NYT filed that story about an hour and a half ago, so this is the first I've seen of it.

Thanks, JJ.
Oak Ridge was also plagued with a case of missing keys. Something like 200 or so, IIRC.

Probably one of the tribal leaders whose honor is dependant on the "must give anyone protection who asks for it". If not the shame will be on their family forever, etc. In this war that is one of the problems with the western mind-set. We don't think like them. We think someone will turn him in for the reward money.
Not that I want to think like them, or, do I think our ways are a "problem". Just, in war, you have to deal with the enemy in a manner that will have an effect on them. Offering reward money for someone as "revered" as bin laden will not have the desired effect. Just my rambling thoughts :-)
