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!

MS-13: Central American gangs spreading through our cities, and lately in contact with Al Quaeda with the purpose of helping them spread jihad to our streets.

Duh! Sorry, I always think of them as Mara-whatever. I will plug MS-13 into my memory bank.

Two Turk Al Qaeda suspects extradited

ANKARA, Jan 2: Pakistan on Sunday extradited two Turks suspected of links to the Al Qaeda network who were immediately arrested and charged by Turkish authorities, the Anatolia news agency reported.

Mehmet Yilmaz and Mahmut Kaplan, who were arrested in Lahore in August, were brought before a court in Gaziantep, where they are wanted for "membership of a clandestine Islamist organisation", the news agency reported.

Pakistani authorities suspect Yilmaz of having fought alongside Afghanistan's Taliban regime. -AFP

[SlowBoat407]

Understandable. I think the longer name is used when referring to the broader group, but MS-13 is the Virginia franchise, starting out up in NoVA and working their way down here to the Norfolk area.

US drone crashes in tribal area

PESHAWAR, Jan 2: An unmanned US surveillance plane crashed near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan in the rugged tribal terrain of North Waziristan, officials said on Sunday.

The Predator crashed near the border town of Ghulam Killi facing the troubled south eastern Afghan province of Khost late Saturday, they said. "It crashed a few hundred metres inside Pakistan territory near Ghulam Killi," military spokesman Maj-Gen Shaukat Sultan said.

"It might have been flying on the other side of the border but could have been drifted away when it crashed," Maj-Gen Shaukat told AFP. A security official here said the plane apparently crashed due to some technical problem.

"Initial investigation gives no lead to suspect militants could have shot it down," the official said, requesting anonymity. The area is located close to turbulent South Waziristan tribal zone where thousands of Pakistani troops are deployed to track down Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters, who are believed to have crossed from Afghanistan after the extremist regime was ousted in late 2001.

The US-led coalition has more than 18,000 troops in Afghanistan mostly fighting Taliban and Al Qaeda-linked militants in south and southeast Afghanistan.

Does there seem to be quite a few gangs/cells in Virginia or just a few individuals? I know one of the articles I posted earlier mentioned they were in Virginia.

[Cindy]

Probably not a conspiracy...I had a major hard crash (forgot which night) in the last 2 weeks.

My husband fixed it for me, but it took about another 3 hours to get it going again...Less than 4 hours of sleep that night. Total bummer...

[ExSoldier]

has anybody been down with a really nasty stomach virus?

I'm halfway done with a regimen of 2000mgs of Amoxicillian a day and some other nifty drugs. My wife just came down with it and she's miserable and the dog....? Snoring blissfully.
