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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat
Threat Matrix: U.S. Terrorism
Expert: Al-Qaida Has Presence In South Florida
Full Story

MIRAMAR, Fla. -- Despite the massive federal, state and local law enforcement effort to stop terrorists from entering the United States, there is no strong evidence of how well it is working.

Many experts are concerned that there are plenty of terrorists or sympathizers already in the country who have been here for years. Some are even citizens.

The Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers were the first wave and now the increasing number of arrests seems to signal a second wave of terrorism in South Florida.

While today could well be an AQ funded job, I doubt those involved know very much.

Shots Fired At BGE Office

http://www.nbc4.com/news/4696681/detail.html

HANOVER, Md. --


There are reports of a shooting at a business in Anne Arundel County, just north of BWI Airport.

Anne Arundel County police said shots were fired at a BGE office building in Hanover, Md., Thursday afternoon.

Sgt. Shawn Urbas said shots were fired at or in the building in the 7300 block of Parkway Drive. He said a suspect has been shot, but he is not sure of the suspect's condition.




Folks, I'll be monitoring the local news sites until bed time tonight. I'll post anything else that happens.

Stay safe. Still worried about follow up attacks. Will be for a few days at least.

Former Mayor of New York Rudolph Giuliani said the London terror strikes were an "eerie reminder" of 9/11 .

Mr Giuliani, who led the Big Apple through the devastating attacks, said he was only yards away from the first explosion this morning, while on a visit to London. *snip*

Several Suspicious Packages Reported Around D.C. Area

http://www.nbc4.com/news/4696225/detail.html

WASHINGTON -- Several suspicious packages were reported throughout the Washington area Thursday, keeping law enforcement busy.


Report suspicious activity to the FBI.

Many Suspicious Items Reported

Buildings near the U.S. Treasury are evacuated after the discovery of white powder in an envelope.

After the Thursday-morning bombings in London, a heightened sense of alert was evident around D.C., prompting people to report anything suspicious.

Early Thursday at Union Station, a suspicious package was found next to a Metrobus in the traffic circle. It was seen as a possible security threat to Amtrak and Metro. The bomb squad was called, and it was determined not to be a danger.

At about 9 a.m. in Montgomery County, authorities responded to a number of calls at the NIH Medical Center Metro Station. A box containing electrical components was found in a Metro employee bathroom. Train service bypassed the station for almost an hour. The bomb squad determined the package was harmless.

The area around the botanical gardens on Capitol Hill is evacuated after the discovery of a supicious package.

At about 10 a.m., authorities received a report of an envelope containing white powder near the U.S. Treasury building in Northwest. Area office buildings and restaurants were evacuated, and 15th Street was closed. People were allowed to return about a half-hour later.

And early Thursday afternoon, a suspicious package was found at the botanical gardens on Capitol Hill, causing that area to be evacuated. This package also proved to be harmless.

Authorities said they appreciate the public's help trying to identify potential terror threats, even if that means running to check out suspicious packages that prove to be no danger. They said they would rather be safe than sorry.

Just FYI

King's Cross Station

Euston Road, N1, Tube: King's Cross, Show Map
Although situated in one of London's most notorious drug-pushing districts, both King's Cross Station (along with the even grander St. Pancras) give good insight as to the importance that Britain placed upon its railway system during the Victorian era. Penned by Lewis Cubitt as the Great Northern Railway's London terminus, the station is said to stand on the site of a former smallpox hospital.

Even more intriguingly, it's also believed to be the last resting place of Queen Boudicca following her battle with the Romans in AD61.

And, though the area eventually came to be known as Battle Bridge, a monument erected in the honour of King George IV led to its name being changed to the current "King's Cross". Unfortunately for George, the monument was later removed, although of course, the name stuck.

Neosgirl, from your blog:

>>>Not THE claim, but the translated text of the claim of responsiblity for the London bombs today.
Still searching everywhere I can, but the jihadis are silent about taking responsiblity for this - at least at all the forums I've looked at. They are talking about what happened in London, but I have yet to see the claim post.<<<

Can you please check this link and let me know if this is what you're looking for?

Jailed Cleric Who Plotted To Blow Up Tunnels Still A Concern For NJ

UPDATED: 8:35 pm EDT July 7, 2005

TRENTON, N.J. -- Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind Muslim cleric convicted a decade ago of plotting to blow up New York City landmarks, remains a concern for New Jersey authorities, wary that his poor health may spur terrorist activity, state Attorney General Peter C. Harvey said Thursday.

Abdel-Rahman is serving a life term in federal prison. But information about the radical Egyptian sheik has been scarce, particularly after his former lawyer, Lynne Stewart, was convicted earlier this year of sneaking messages from him to his disciples.

"It's his followers and also people who adhere to his teachings who concern us. We all have seen information that suggests there could be some activity that surrounds the state of his health, or some worse event that may happen to him. So we have to pay attention to it," Harvey said following a news conference at which state officials discussed beefed up security in New Jersey because of the terrorist bombings in London.

Abdel-Rahman, 67, is serving his sentence in a federal prison hospital facility in Springfield, Mo. A diabetic, the cleric last year waged a hunger strike, shunning his insulin and eating candy to make his condition worse.

Harvey cautioned there wasn't immediate cause for alarm. But he said the situation is something law enforcement needed to be mindful of.

Abdel-Rahman, who preached at a Jersey City mosque, was convicted in 1995 of plotting to assassinate Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and blow up New York landmarks, including the United Nations, two tunnels and a bridge.

He was the spiritual leader for the men convicted in the first World Trade Center attack in 1993.

After his 1993 arrest, prosecutors say, Abdel-Rahman urged followers to rescue him and to kill Americans "wherever you find them."

Michael Savage is really on fire tonight. He's angry at the press because they're all sitting around wringing their hands trying to figure out who did it. He's screaming "does it matter which jihadist group did it, does it really matter"? They're Islamofacists and they all want us dead. What does it matter which AQ group it is.

Straight talk from the Brits

LOOKS LIKE AL-QAEDA'S WORK: DOWNER

July 08, 2005

THE terrorist bombings in London had all the hallmarks of an al-Qaeda attack, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said today.

He said while the British authorities were still being cautious about who was responsible for the carnage, in his judgment it was more than likely the work of al-Qaeda.

"It was well co-ordinated, it would have been planned for a long period of time," he told ABC radio in Adelaide.

"You can assume that it was timed to go off to coincide with the G8 summit in Gleneagles.

"It has those characteristics of an al-Qaeda attack."

Will do Vel. Will do.

One of my co-workers rides public transit every day and he's not worried (at least he's not showing it).

I'm good here. Heavy weather starting to move in. Some tornado warnings posted for central VA.

Seen reports of more threats to Denmark and others around Europe. Britain and the rest of Europe will be in my prayers tonight.

Some put on CNN was saying that the WOT cannot be won. It CAN be one, but we're going to have to get dirty to win it. We're not there yet, but each attack brings us closer to be being willing to get that dirty.

To all my TM FRiends,
I'd like to echo Jerseygirls comments that we've all been kind, caring, civil and supportive. I've seen too much animosity on other threads. It's almost shameful.

To my FRiends, and lurkers:
Sadly, events have proven that we cannot relax and we must ALWAYS be ready. The TM threads provide the information on how to get and stay prepared. Please make use of them.
