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?

It wasn't my browser; it was my brain.

The scroll bar was on the left side.

And HAPPY Thanksgiving to all before I forget.

[Cindy]

LAUGHING...

I'm sure your brain is fine.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too.

"How did he know?"

Either he, faruq hunter, or an associate must be following these threads.

[nwctwx]

How did he know?

If you are referring to how he knew he was mentioned in the thread... likely from his weblogs. When someone clicks a link to his site from your blog, it tells the linked server where the click came from. If he is an astute webmaster (as he appears to be) he will check his logs to see where traffic is coming from.

I check my stats daily.
My, my...kind of like a treasure chest sometimes.

[nwctwx]

I check my stats daily.

Me too, they are a very useful tool (in many ways).

[nwctwx]

I can add it.

I've been reading Imperial Hubris the past 2 days, almost finished. It's an interesting read to say the least.

[Cindy]

Yep.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman


This information is current as of today, Wed Nov 24 2004 23:36:40 GMT-0800.


UZBEKISTAN


November 24, 2004


This Public Announcement is being issued to alert U.S. citizens to the potential for civil unrest and disturbances, with resultant traffic disruptions in Ukraine, following Ukraine’s November 21, 2004, disputed presidential elections. This Public Announcement expires on December 7, 2004.


The American Embassy in Kiev has urged American citizens resident in Ukraine to remain alert to the possibility of election-related rallies, demonstrations, and disturbances following Ukraine's presidential election held Sunday, November 21, 2004. The election results are in dispute and a large number of police forces have assembled around the rallies in Kiev. Expectations of counterdemonstrations make the potential for disorder even greater.


American citizens resident in Ukraine have therefore been urged to avoid areas affected by demonstrations and political rallies and to exercise caution if within the vicinity of any demonstrations. Citizens have also been urged to assess the impact of these demonstrations might have on personal traffic and transportation needs. There are reports that certain inter-city travel in Ukraine is now restricted, and that buses and trains to Kiev have been canceled. Tickets are not being sold for certain scheduled departures. The Department reminds American citizens that even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. Given the fluidity of the situation in Ukraine at this time, and the difficulties reported with inter-city travel, the Department urges American citizens both within Ukraine and without to defer all discretionary travel plans, particularly to and within Kiev. The U.S. Embassy in Kiev will continue to monitor developments and will, as appropriate, provide for the resident American citizen community in Ukraine periodic updates on the situation on its website.


Americans traveling to Ukraine despite this Public Announcement are strongly urged to register with the U.S. Embassy in Kiev or through the State Department’s travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov, and to obtain updated information on travel and security within Ukraine. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the U.S. Embassy’s Consular Section in Kiev.


The Embassy’s Consular Section is located at #6 Mykola Pymonenko St., 01901 Kiev, Ukraine. The telephone number is 38-044-490-4422. The fax number is 39-044-490-4040. American citizens who need to contact the Embassy may do so during working hours by calling the main Embassy telephone number at 38-044-490-4000. The Embassy’s duty officer may be reached after hours for emergencies via this same number, or by contacting 38-050-311-1796.


Travelers should consult the Department of State’s latest Consular Information Sheet for Ukraine and the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement at http://travel.state.gov. American citizens may also obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada, and 317-472-2328 from overseas. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).

They plan to use a hospital grade disinfectant this winter to clean every subway car, every bus and every train station handrail. If it's something you would normally touch, Metro plans to disinfect it."

"Al-Arian attorneys challenge government's evidence"

[BurbankKarl]

I just heard a BOLO (Be On The Lookout broadcast) over California Highway Patrol channel from Amtrak PD, requesting that all LA County law enforcement agencies to report any suspicious activities near railroad tracks, bridges, structures, etc.

First time I have heard that!

[BurbankKarl]

I should add, that last Friday when I was at the Burbank Metrolink platform, a voice came on saying to disregard the next message....all the signs started blinking, and the voice came on about evacuating the platforms immediately. They have a system to make announcements to any station in the system from their central dispatching location.

[Cindy]

Well, it's the first I've heard of it for that specific area, but it's not the first time we've read/heard of that here regarding this BOLO info.

Thanks for the heads up Karl.
