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.

AL QAEDA ISSUES OMINOUS INTERNET WARNING TO BRITISH TROOPS IN IRAQ
Site Apparently Hosted in New York
 

     A purported statement from al Qaeda on a radical Islamic web site gives a dire warning to British forces in Iraq.
 
     The warning read (at www.ribaat.org/services/forum/showthread.php?t=29417 and translation by "penguino" at www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1383919/posts?page=383) "Great Britain and its allies will not leave Iraq without punishment. It is right that the criminal pay for that which they have committed like actions against the Muslims before they flee from this Iraqi mess, in order that they become an example for all other countries who are thinking of attacking an Islamic country and an example for all countries who would think of protecting America when she kills Muslims."
 
     The threat also read, "Headquarters of the organization of Al Qaeda in the country of the two rivers has decided to carry out some powerful strikes against the British Crusader Forces who have taken position in the south of Iraq, until Northern Iraq and the South become their hell and become a cemetery for all colonizing Crusaders who oppress on the soil of the Islamic nation. And we threaten each collaborator and every spy to bring protection to serve as a human shield to the British Forces located in Iraq."
 
     It continued, "To you collaborators and spies working for the British Forces in Iraq, stop and announce your repentance in front of Allah and the incorruptible your free Mujahideen brothers. Know that at this moment, the noble and free Mujahideen, will not have any pity for any collaborator or spy who works with the British Crusader forces when they strike the latter. We are waiting for the collaborators and spies helping the British Forces to repent before our supporters launch their powerful attacks against the British forces. Death comes for you."
 
BATTLE OF QAIM
 
     Another statement on the same radical Islamic site (www.ribaat.org/services/forum/showthread.php?t=29413 and also translated by "penguino"at www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1383919/posts?page=383) claimed victory in a recent battle near the Iraqi town of Qaim along the Syrian border.
 
     It read, "This tactical operation is without precedent on the Crusaders in the country of the two rivers. Modern weapons and booby trapped cars were used in this battle, just like an attack of missiles destroying the seats of the Crusader's base which they found in the old Iraqi customs buildings, just like the building where they found their engineers and their specialists, killing a large number of Crusader soldiers, and some helicopters were seen several times transporting dead Crusaders at the time of the battle. Afterwards, the Mujahideen returned to their bases in peace without having lost even one casualty. Allah Akbar."
 
     However, an Associated Press/London Free Press report (www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/LondonFreePress/News/2005/04/13/994290-sun.html) read in part, "American troops battled arms smugglers and fighters near the Iraqi town of Qaim along the Syrian border yesterday, killing an unknown number of foreign insurgents, the U.S. military said. The local hospital reported at least nine people killed in clashes in the same area ... Insurgents opened fire when the U.S. troops began their raid on (a) smuggling ring, and several militants, including at least one suicide bomber, were killed, the U.S. military said. No Americans were injured."
 
     Links providing purported video footage of the operation were provided on the same radical Islamic site. They were: http://foma.3g2.org/upload/so/1409.zip, http://foma.3g2.org/upload/so/1410.zip, http://foma.3g2.org/upload/so/1408.zip and http://sigmarl.cside.com/upload/source/No_0361.zip.
 
GOOGLE VIDEO
 
     Meanwhile, Internet Haganah's Aaron Weisburd noticed (http://www.haganah.us/haganah/internet.html ) that the individuals who frequent ribaat (www.ribaat.org/services/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29297) have noticed a new  service – Google video.
 
Screenshot of www.ribaat.org/services/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29297 (through Internet Haganah).
 
     What is Google video? A company explanation read in part.(https://upload.video.google.com/video_faq.html#overview2 ).
 
     "Our mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Currently, Google Video lets you search a growing archive of televised content -- everything from sports events to dinosaur documentaries to news programs. In addition to televised content, we're now accepting video from anyone who wants to upload content to us. Uploaded content will not be immediately available to users searching Google Video as this is just the submission stage of the program. But (if you'll pardon the pun) stay tuned.
 
     "The upload program lets you submit videos electronically to Google Video, as long as you own the necessary rights (including copyrights, trademarks, rights of publicity, and any other relevant rights for your content). Just sign up for an account and use our upload tool to send your videos to Google. The program is still in beta so you won't see your videos live on Google Video immediately."
 
     As Weisburd commented (www.haganah.us/haganah/internet.html), "If Google thought selling advertising to Hamas was problematic, just wait till their new beta video library is packed high and tight with jihadi snuff films."
 
     The ribaat site is registered to Abu Malhamat who lists an address in Islamabad, Pakistan. An e-mail to this individual asking for comment on the site was returned as undeliverable.
 
     The site is apparently hosted by Host Rocket Web Services located in upstate New York. An employee at Host Rocket who spoke on condition of anonymity said the site does appear to be located on one of its computer servers and promised an investigation.

Cindy, any idea what the closeup of Bush's ring is meant to signify?

[Velveeta]

Thanks so much for your prayers! I really need them.

Finished radiation on Friday :) Doc says that we would start seeing results in a several month. This time is very important. I'm hoping and praying that the tumor is shrinking...I am in the hands of a mighty God. Doc also says that clarity of mind, hair, strength, will start coming back is a week or so. I ask for your continued prayers, tmp02

I will pray every day for you, asking our Dear Lord to heal you with His loving Grace.

Dear FR friends, TMP02 needs our prayers still.

Paging the FR prayer warriors. :-)

[kingofhearts]

I am discrediting the woman who wrote it based on the fact that I know she would not have been allowed to sit in and listen to the men talking in the Masjid....Islamic etiquette resounds - men and women do not mix inside the Masjid....so I question her on that aspect. I think she was perhaps trying to give more credit to her story than not...and they would especially not allow her to sit uncovered amongst the men inside the Masjid...she would have been taken to sit with the women immediately...that is a fact...

[jerseygirl]

And of course we at TM who have been following this are well aware AQ acquired nukes from a variety of sources some time ago. Ane received assistance from Russian and Chinese scientists.....The question now is- where are these nukes? Probably a number of them have entered the US already...where are they headed and when do they plan to try to set them off?

[Cindy]

I'm not a muslim kingofhearts.

There's an exception to every rule and that
may have been the case when she was allowed
to sit in the back.


I have found Ms. Manfield's written works and guest
appearances on radio programs to be unemotional
and factually presented.

I encourage you to write Ms. Mansfield via WorldNetDaily.com
if you disagree with the article.

Thanks.

Cindy

"???Terrorism Suspect Ahmad to Stand as Candidate in U.K. Elections"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "April 20 (Bloomberg) -- Babar Ahmad, a British man accused of setting up Web sites to fund the Taliban, will stand as a candidate in the U.K. general election, British actor Corin Redgrave said today outside a London courtroom.

Ahmad will stand as a candidate for the Peace and Progress party in the constituency of Brent North ``whether he's released or not,'' Redgrave, who founded the party, told Bloomberg News. A London court is today scheduled to decide whether U.S. prosecutors can extradite Ahmad.

Ahmad, 30, was arrested in August on U.S. federal charges of conspiracy to kill or injure persons in a foreign country, providing support to terrorists and money laundering, according to the indictment in the case. The U.S. government claims he used Internet service providers in Nevada and Connecticut to recruit and fundraise for militant Islamic fighters in Afghanistan and Chechnya between 1998 and 2003.

Ahmad denies the charges and is contesting extradition on grounds he wouldn't receive a fair trial in the U.S."

[Cindy]

No I don't jerseygirl.

OPINION: A lot of outlandish conspiracy theories are tossed about in some of these forums. I speculate there's some conspiracy that goes with that ring, BUT I DON'T KNOW if that's what's going on in that photo.

[WestCoastGal]

Thank you for the ping V.

Sending my prayers for you tmp02, that you remain strong and that the tumor continues to shrink.

WCG

[Cindy]

Prayers ongoing tmp02 and several times of day and night, at that.
God loves you.
