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.

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

Top Al Qaida Member Linked to Child Abduction Plot

By Emily Dennis, PA


A leading member of al Qaida got money for a plot to bomb the US embassy in Paris while helping to abduct five children from this country, a court heard today.

Djamel Beghal, 39, was described as being a key member of an “extreme and puritanical group” financed by Osama Bin Laden, Norwich Crown Court heard.


He is one of a group accused of conspiring to abduct five children from their home in the city to Libya five years ago.

Beghal, an Algerian, was sentenced to 10 years in prison earlier this year for associating with a terrorist organisation.

A statement from him in prison was read in court today on behalf of the Crown.

In it he admitted making reservations for the ferry crossing to take the children by Hoverspeed from Dover to Calais.

However, he said he thought he was taking the youngsters to Disneyland, Paris, and did not realise they were being kidnapped.

The children were snatched from their mother Anita Elgirnazi, 36, on June 10 2000.

The prosecution alleges that their Libyan father Azzedin Journazi devised a plan to take them and recruited seven people including Beghal to help.

At the time Rumaysa Elgirnazi was 11, Safiya Elgirnazi, nine, Ali Elgirnazi, seven, Hamza Elgirnazi, four, Aisha Elgirnazi, two.

It is claimed they were taken out of Dover through France and Spain.

Mustapha Abushima, 38, and his wife Wedad Ahmed, 45, both from Chorlton cum Hardy, Manchester, deny conspiring to abduct children.

While cross-examining Ian Fox, the Norfolk police officer who led the investigation into the missing children, Martin Taylor, defending Abushima, told the court that Beghal had recruited young Muslims for the Jihad while living in the UK from mid 1999 until July 2000, concentrating on London and Leicester.

He said: “He was a key member of a group called Tak Fir-Wal-Hirja that has been described as an extreme and puritanical organisation financed by Osama Bin Laden.

“It is a group once thought beyond the pale even by Osama Bin Laden’s organisation.

“The group believes that everybody who doesn’t adhere to the group should be counted as infidels and legitimate targets in the Holy War.

“The group is of Egyptian origin which specialises in support for terrorist networks, finance and supplying false documents.

“In that group Beghal was described even amongst the extremists, he stood out as being one of the most dangerous.”

After being arrested at Dubai international airport in July 2001, Beghal came clean about his al Qaida links, helping intelligence services around the world build a profile of the organisation, Mr Taylor said.

He claimed the shoe-bomber Richard Reid and Zacharia Moussaoui, described as the 20th hijacker in the September 11 attacks on the US, were among his recruits.

He added: “Mr Beghal was returning to France in 2001 to give the go-ahead for surveillance to attack the American Embassy at the Place de la Concorde in Paris using a lorry or a helicopter.”

The trial was adjourned until tomorrow.

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

I never stopped saying them for you! It's not over until that nasty tumor is GONE or its remnants rendered harmless.

All things are possible with God!

Abu Musab Zarqawi has obtained a nuclear device or is preparing a radiological explosive -- or dirty bomb -- for an attack...

First of all, this is beginning to sound like the boy who cried wolf. Especially coming from folks who like ratings or selling newspapers. I am also doubting the reports of suitcase nukes currently on US soil. If they had 'em they would have used them within the election time period. The risk of exposure is going up all the time.

But let's say they do have a device and it's currently in Afghanistan or even with OBL in Pakistan. Gotta go through an awful lot of very dedicated Green Beanies to get here and think those guys are PI$$ED since 911? SpecOps has always seen themselves as the Avenging angels of the USA for 911. Task Force Dagger pretty well showed the truth of that assertion. How do you think they're going to react when the intel suggests this?

I'm praying for you tmp02.

Large Brush Fire Disrupts Trains In New Jersey

Updated: 8:37 pm EDT April 20, 2005

NEW YORK -- A huge brush fire burned near the Lincoln Tunnel in New Jersey Wednesday, causing major disruptions for commuters.

Delays were expected to continue for hours.

The fire did not affect New Jersey Transit's Hoboken line. But it did disrupt visibility for drivers coming out of the Lincoln Tunnel, and on to the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 1 and 9.

Probe Legionnaire's At Manhattan Hospital

Apr 20, 2005 12:07 pm US/Eastern

(1010 WINS) (NEW YORK) State health officials are investigating the death of a Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center patient, which may have been caused by an outbreak of Legionnaire's disease.

The officials believe the bacteria may have been in the hospital's water system.

Richard Montesano died last Wednesday shortly after coming to the hospital for a heart condition.

He was using a machine that sprayed water in his throat to fight sleep apnea, but the hospital did not warn his family that tap water could be dangerous.

Legionnaire's disease can be found in the water systems of large buildings and is hazardous to people whose immune systems have been weakened.

The hospital has since turned off its faucets and began using bottled water while it sterilizes its pipes.

The New York City medical examiner ruled that Montesano died of an infection after a catheter was placed in his arm. But lab results are expected to determine whether Legionnaire's was a factor.

Columbia Presbyterian officials say the hospital regularly monitors its system for Legionnaire's disease.

I've been pinching myself for the last 24 hours. On April 1st as Pope JPII was dying, Cardinal Ratzinger was receiving a Benedictine award...Olivetan in pectore all these years.

Things are gonna shake rattle & roll in figurative and literal ways.

By the way, St. Benedict spent 3 years living in a cave while the Goths & Visigoths and such sacked Rome. Freeper Askel5 has a good "reheated" thread about him.
