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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat
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.

"Threat of Street Gangs Causing Bitter Debate in Congress"
Associated Press ^ | May 10, 2005

Posted on 05/09/2005 9:18:36 PM PDT by seastay

(AP via NewsMax.com)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEW YORK -- The rapid spread of vicious street gangs such as MS-13 is causing alarm in cities and suburbs nationwide, igniting bitter debate about how best to combat the threat and inspiring a comprehensive anti-gang bill in Congress.

The measure is depicted by supporters as the only effective way to counterattack gang violence, and assailed by critics as an overreaction that could clog both federal courts and adult prisons with youthful offenders, most of them minorities.

Sponsored by Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., the bill moved swiftly through the House Judiciary Committee last month and is scheduled for a House floor vote Wednesday. It would turn many gang-related violent offenses into federal crimes punishable by mandatory sentences of at least 10 years, expand the range of crimes punishable by death, and enable U.S. prosecutors to try 16- and 17-year-old gang members as adults in federal courts. "These aren't petty hoodlums," Forbes said. "They're cutting people's heads off, doing countersurveillance on police. ... They're trained in a type of violence we've not seen heretofore."

In Virginia recently, gang victims have been hacked by machetes and had fingers cut off. Affiliated gangs in Central America are suspected in several recent beheadings of young women.

The bill's supporters include the National Sheriffs' Association and the Fraternal Order of Police, the nation's largest law enforcement union. If approved, it would move to the Senate where Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) have introduced a bill combining tough anti-gang measures with new funding for crime prevention programs.

Opponents include numerous high-powered civil rights groups - the NAACP, the American Civil Liberties Union, Human Rights Watch and others. They cite FBI findings that serious youth crime is declining, say states - not the federal government - can best address the gang problem and worry about long-term consequences for teenage offenders sent to adult prisons."

Karl,

Listening to the news tonight and I hear another there's been another freeway shooting.

Authorities think that his life was saved because he got off the freeway quickly.

This whole freeway shooting thing in LA has me confused. The media is reporting it like it is a major story, but they always follow it up by, 'shootings are actually down over the past yrs.' What's the story from locals?

I'm not a local to that area, though I have been acquainted with people who went to work in LA and the surrounding areas.

Freeway "road rage" and "gang activity" and "random acts of violence" are really nothing new.

OPINION: What appears to be new here, in my opinion; are the shootings at people and vehicles who are just driving along and minding their own business.

OPINION-SPECULATION: Is it a gang-banger(s) jumping in and this is an initiation operation OR is it a freeway sniper with a focused agenda OR is it random acts of violence OR is it a combination of these things? I don't know.

Regarding the most recent shooting...

http://www.fox11.com/stories/news/freeway_shooting.asp
"Police probe possible new SoCal freeway shooting"

TUSTIN, Calif. (AP) --


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Lieutenant Steve Lewis says southbound sections of both freeways were shut down while officers searched for evidence of a shooting, including possible shell casings.

The incident occurred in the same area as an April 24th shooting in which a 33-year-old motorist was shot in the neck while he drove northbound on Interstate Five and exited onto the Costa Mesa Freeway. That man is expected to survive.

Four people have died in a dozen such attacks in recent weeks."
