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.

Missile kills Pakistan tribal head
CNN ^ | Friday, June 18 | Syed Mohsin Naqvi

ISLAMABAD (CNN) -- A tribal leader accused of harboring Al Qaeda militants in Pakistan's western border region was killed Thursday night in a targeted missile strike, according to Pakistan intelligence sources. The Associated Press quoted an army spokesman Friday as identifying the tribal leader as Nek Mohammed, a former Taliban fighter.

He was killed late Thursday at the home of another tribal chief, the spokesman said.

"We were tracking him down and he was killed last night by our hand," Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan told The Associated Press.

"HHS provides $1.3b in state bioterror funds"

By Mary Mosquera
GCN Staff


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The funds will upgrade infectious-disease surveillance and investigation; enhance the readiness of hospitals and the health care system to deal with large numbers of casualties; expand public health laboratory and communications capacities; and improve connectivity between hospitals and city, local and state health departments to enhance disease reporting.

HHS also provided $1.3 billion to states and metropolitan areas last year."

"He was blindfolded, and when an interrogator served him a glass of water, he said, 'Make sure that it is [served] with the right hand, and not the left hand.'

The Muslim custom is to use the left hand as toilet paper.

Quite a few hispanic surnames on that list.

[Velveeta]

For pete sakes, there is so much too say regarding this.

And what we could say, would have us banned.

[Velveeta]

Notice that there is NO plea from Newsweek calling for an END to the riots.

They extended their sympathies...

Well whoop-dee-doo.

Our friend, WestCoastGal, is going through some really tough times right now. I cannot go into any details, but she needs our prayers and support. Please add her to your prayer list.

Heartfelt prayers, WCG!

Osama to prove his presence soon Times of india ^

Posted on 05/16/2005 8:31:09 AM EDT by phoenix_004

International terrorist Osama bin Laden and his Taliban associate Mullah Omar are alive, and a new cassette from the Al Qaeda leader is expected soon to prove his presence, according to a distinguished Pakistani journalist.

"Both Osama and Mullah Omar are alive. There is no evidence to suggest that Osama bin Laden is dead, and there is no doubt about the presence of Mullah Omar as he regularly sends audio cassettes and letters," journalist Rahimullah Yuzufsai was quoted as saying Monday.

Yusufzai said both Osama and Mullah Omar are in the Afghan region but that Osama was finding the going "quite difficult".

"Mullah Omar has the advantage of being an Afghan, he knows the Pashto language and the world knows little about his appearance as very few of his photographs have been circulated.

"He is living in his country, within his own tribe and my knowledge is he does not have a major problem. There are active Taliban elements that would defend him at any cost. I think he does not have a problem in crossing over to Pakistan also." In contrast, Osama had several handicaps, the journalist said.

"He does not know either Pashto or Urdu. He merely speaks Arabic. Americans have kept a big reward on his head. Therefore his movements are restricted and difficult as compared to Mullah Omar, as he does not belong to the region.

"However, he does prove his presence by sending out regular video or audio cassettes either warning America of fresh attacks or praising Muslim militants." Yusufzai, a noted Afghan affairs expert, said.

"It would not have been possible for Osama to remain elusive for such a long period without solid support, as Americans dug out (Iraqi dictator) Saddam Hussain in eight months."
