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!

Details show extent of terror plot against U.S.
Full Story

We now know more about an alleged attack that triggered an increased national threat level last summer.

That's when U.S. officials said they had uncovered a plot targeting financial institutions. The plot involved bombs, banks and British nationals.

The detail was startling, the targets enormous. They included financial buildings in Washington, New York and New Jersey.

So proud of you here, Ian.
Congratulations!

Chuckling here too.

Abu Faraj al-Libbi...girly man.
Disguised in a burkha. LOL!

Richard Miniter was on FOX news this morning and mentioned that someone else whose name has not yet been released was captured with al-Libbi.
Miniter says that when a captured's name is not released, it usually means he's *talking*.

If your electronic item is not plugged in, would it still be affected by an EMP?

[tmp02]

A warning?

[freeperfromnj]

Possibly a warning. It will be interesting to see what the investigation turns up. How are you doing tmp?

"Explosion reported outside building that houses British consulate in NY City"

That reminds me of a radio report that I found interesting which I was going to share with you all.

A few days ago, Ron Magers who is a long time Chicago TV news anchorman relayed a story on talk radio, about his recent trip to New York.

Long story short...he and his wife are in NY and see an abandoned briefcase on a park bench.

Mr. Magers says he knew that this is a suspicious situation and he proceeds to track down a police officer who was patrolling nearby. The police officer walks over to the briefcase as Mr. Magers and his wife increased their distance from the area assuming that the bomb squad would be called in.

Mr. Magers said he was stunned when the officer picked up the briefcase, turned to Mr. Magers, smiled and shouted "NY BOMB SQUAD!!"....as the officer proceeded to SHAKE the briefcase.

Obviously nothing exploded....but....

Thanks 'Zilla, great summary as usual. I heard briefly on FOX today that a new message from OBL is expected soon. Have you heard anything on this? I only heard the blurb once.

As mentioned in the summary, there are various internet rumors to the same.

[Godzilla]

Thanks for the superb summary Godzilla! Still questioning what the Turkish troops are doing massed on the Kurdish Iraqi border:

I am monitoring that as well (non-terrorism). Don't like the potentials.
