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.

I saved them to my HD... watched the 2 shorter ones and skimmed through the longer ones. I still have lots of holes in my vocabulary, so I don't understand much yet. Learning Arabic is a verrrry slow process... I'm hoping to spend some time overseas during Grad School, that should be a good way to put it all together quicker.

What a promising life you have created, proud to know you Ian!

Did bin Laden Escape Because of Female Warriors?

For those on Capitol Hill, the Pentagon and at the White House who think that women in land combat is a ho-hum non-issue, there is strong evidence the U.S. lost the opportunity to capture or kill Osama bin Laden because of politically correct Pentagon policies to have more female warriors.

Here is how the story unfolds:

Thanks -- I saw the original post, when the flight was delayed on account of it, but didn't see the follow up, i.e. that it wasn't any.

I think that we probably only find out about 2% of what happens, for multiple reasons -- so as not to alert the terrorists and to not panic people.

SV has been posting Daily Terrorist Round up thread in the News area.

I am sure many of you are also interested. Here is the latest one:

Daily Terrorist Round-Up Stories 4/17/05 (Dirty Bomb Plot in UK-Terrorists Caught in Cyprus & Iraq)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1385507/posts

If you want to be on his ping list for that, send SV a FReepmail.

I also suggested to him to post a link to his thread here too, because I am sure many of you are interested and can even contribute additional details about a lot of stories.

This part caught my eye also:

...Iran has surprised intelligence analysts by describing the mid-flight detonations of missiles fired from ships on the Caspian Sea as "successful" tests. North Korea exports missile technology around the world; Scuds can easily be purchased on the open market for about $100,000 apiece.

A terrorist organization might have trouble putting a nuclear warhead "on target" with a Scud, but it would be much easier to simply launch and detonate in the atmosphere. No need for the risk and difficulty of trying to smuggle a nuclear weapon over the border or hit a particular city. Just launch a cheap missile from a freighter in international waters -- al Qaeda is believed to own about 80 such vessels -- and make sure to get it a few miles in the air.

[Cindy]

Yep.
I saw that already.

Thanks JP.

OPINION..."Rebels" - no. TERRORISTS - yes.

[Cindy]

How tragic!

I hope the gangbanger gets the death penalty and is deported in an urn.

Thanks to a Special Freeper for pointing to this article.
