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.

Excellent articles, Mamadearest.

From your ISNA site...did you see this?

U-M study shows devotion to Islam is not linked to terror
http://www.isna.net/index.php?id=35&backPID=1&tt_news=172

Islam is not to blame for suicide bombings, a University of Michigan study shows.

Personal devotion to Islam is unrelated to support for suicide bombing among Palestinian Muslims, according to the study, which will be presented May 27 at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Society in Los Angeles.

But the more often Muslims attended mosques, the more likely they were to support suicide terrorism. (snip)

I wonder if any Korans were blown up in these bombings?

Finally, some more detail. Thank you for the link.

"Is something coming in Iraq?"

Not necessarily Iraq.

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/05/30/iraq.main/index.html

"In the recording, titled "A Letter from a Soldier to his Emir," the speaker calls on bin Laden to give the signal to put an unspecified plot into action."I believe that the plan has already reached you or is on its way, and we are waiting for your instructions," the speaker says."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden recently asked his chief ally in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, to consider the territory of the United States as a target for terrorist attacks, a U.S. counterterrorism official said on Monday.

"There has been communication between bin Laden and Zarqawi, with bin Laden suggesting to Zarqawi the U.S. homeland as a target," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The official called the bin Laden communication "a fairly recent development" but declined to provide details for fear of compromising U.S. anti-terrorism efforts.

. . . The Department of Homeland Security said it issued a classified intelligence bulletin over the weekend warning state officials that the federal government had received nonspecific information about al Qaeda plans to attack the United States.

"The interesting thing is the implication here that Zarqawi could pull such a thing off, that he has that reach," said Daniel Benjamin, a terrorism analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington."It's particularly interesting that bin Laden would think that Zarqawi could do this," he said.

Osama bin Laden & 9.11 Souvenirs In S.E. Asia

BANGKOK, Thailand -- The Osama bin Laden cigarette lighter is adorned with his raised, chrome portrait, an embossed "9.11", sketches of the World Trade Center, an approaching airplane, and a big red splotch.

When you flick the sleek, metal lighter open, a light-emitting diode illuminates the splotch so it glows bright red on one of the buildings, emphasizing the first crash site.....snip

As of Sunday I got my boat back on the water, and I noticed (without going into detail, of course) that security on the waterways seems to be improving. I like what I've seen.

[SlowBoat407]

My beloved Amir, the American commander of US forces in Qaim, General Drink Wine (a slight on the pagan General) had arrogantly said “We will defeat them (Mujahideen) even if Muhammad and Muhammad’s God were both with them”.

I love the fact that he completely discredits his tale with a quote that none of our generals (or any other rank) would have ever made. At the same time, he's still trying to make this a war against Islam by riling up the "faithful".

OPINION: Everytime these messages come out; the primary purpose of each message is to pump up the jihad base. Period.

Of course, this is not particularly comforting as the jihadis hate us.

If you read/find/know anything that authorities might find interesting and/or helpful -- REPORT IT.

Jihad is way of life.
Jihad is an everyday thing.

Terror is global.
Jihad is global.
Jihad propaganda is global.

Jihad...another day.
