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!

"Christians flee genocide as fear sweeps Iraq"
By Jack Fairweather at St Matthew's Monastery near Mosul
(Filed: 08/01/2005)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "This thinning of the ranks has taken centuries, he said, but in the valleys Iraq's Christian community, targeted with especial ferocity by Islamic extremists for the past year, is disappearing rapidly.


Churches have been bombed, priests kidnapped and Christian neighbourhoods subjected to random shootings, the terrorists' revenge for the community's shared religion with the "Christian" invaders.


According to Church leaders, some 300,000 Christians - roughly a quarter of the population - have fled their homes since the US-led invasion.


It is too early to speak of a humanitarian crisis, with many from the community, one of Iraq's more affluent, able to leave the country in civilised fashion or find shelter in the Kurdish-controlled north. But in the minds of Church leaders there is little doubt as to the nature of the exodus.


"It's genocide. You can see it with your own eyes," said Bishop Putres Harbori, head of the Christian community in Dohuk, near the Turkish border, where 350 families have found sanctuary."

I recognize some of those names.
I'll check out that link.
THANKS Velveeta.

Wondering if Dateline remembers this??

[penguino]

It's just an observation.

[Cindy]

Yep.

"I've been monitoring these explosions and see nothing out of the ordinary that would suggest terrorism."

I've not seen anything that would necessarily suggest terrorism, either, however I would definitely characterize these explosions as "out of the ordinary".

Coincidence? Possibly so. I know that extremely unlikely events do occur.

Unintented Consequences of Actions Taken, illegal or unwise? Perhaps. I know that some people/corporations do illegally dispose of flamables, etc., and as you pointed out, some are heavier than air. The current theory being floated makes some sense, that of copious quantities of rainwater mixing with extreme amounts of applied road salt and causing accelerated corrosion/degradation to the insulation of underground powerlines. The resulting sparks igniting "whatever" flamable materials present.

Terrorism? I don't think that can be ruled out, yet. I guess my purpose was just to throw a couple of "dots" out there to see if anybody else saw a connection, or not. I have walked on those streets, so it seems a little "close to home".

[penguino]

Thanks, Velveeta, I hadn't seen that one.

I have a huge source of message groups in the UK if you're interested.

[Velveeta]

LOL. We can't have a TMer miss a story now....can we?

Happy to oblige.

[Velveeta]

Indeed.

I've already pinged flutters on that thread, anyone else in the area??

Water Being Released From Local Dams (Columbus and Southern Ohio Need to Be Prepared)
WCMH-TV, Columbus ^ | January 13, 2005


Posted on 01/13/2005 3:46:05 PM CST by Columbus Dawg


COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Water is being released from several area dams as officials prepare for more rain throughout the day.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting controlled water releases from the Alum Creek and Delaware dams. About 8.5 feet of water is gradually being released from the Delaware Dam, which will raise the water level of the Olentangy River.

Contingency plans being made at The Ohio State University and in downtown Columbus. Worthington, Clintonville, the OSU Campus area need to be on the lookout.

Arrested MS-13 member wanted in police slayings

I still have trouble reconciling that OBL would associate with these infidels? They stretch the adage 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' to the limit.

[Velveeta]

No, I haven't seen that msn site before.

Good. Then I'm glad there's a new one for your list. :-)

[Velveeta]

For a part 2 episode?

I'd venture to guess Dateline does remember.

[Velveeta]

I have a huge source of message groups in the UK if you're interested.

Sure! Thanks.

[Velveeta]

OMG, they had him and RELEASED him??

re: FedEx Trucks Stolen. A couple of days ago, I saw something on the highway that struck me as very odd. I was passing a FedEx semi tractor with tandem trailers. On the rear trailer, in place of the license plate, was a handmade tag that said "Missing Plate #XXXXXX". I have seen cars with a similar tag, but never a semi, and certainly never a FedEx truck.

That sounds like it's worth reporting.
