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.

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.

yes, it could do a lot of damage if it was radiological or something, some of you guys stress the panic level that a bio attack would be and so true, we've never seen that happen, so is it activated or something?

re: The money that went to Pakistan is because they are "our closest ally in that area."

Some ally. Now Mushie does not want to know where OBL is hiding. I thought he was supposed to be helping us find him. Instead, I suspect he has been complicit in sheltering him, moving him around, and making sure he receives regularly scheduled dialysis treatments at the best hospitals in the area.

I would not be the least surprised to learn that OBL is flown to other "allies"--say Saudi Arabia- for his kidney treatments...

Syrian Company, Nationals Designated by Treasury for
Support to Former Saddam Hussein Regime

The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced the designation of a Syrian-based company and two senior officials that acted on behalf of Saddam Hussein's fallen regime.

SES International Corp., based in Damascus, General Zuhayr Shalish and Asif Shalish were designated today pursuant to Executive Order 13315, which is aimed at blocking property of the former Iraqi regime, its senior officials and their family members and those who act for or on their behalf.

"Zuhayr and Asif used SES as a vehicle to put military goods into the hands of Saddam Hussein and his regime, all while evading UN sanctions," said Stuart Levey, the Treasury's Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence.

SES, which is owned by Zuhayr and managed by Asif, acted as a "false end user" for Iraq, helping to procure defense-related goods for the Iraqi military. As a Syrian company, SES was able to provide exporters in multiple countries with end-user certificates indicating Syria, rather than Iraq, as the final destination for the exported goods. SES would then arrange for the items to be transshipped to Iraq, which allowed the Iraqi regime to obtain military goods in contravention of UN sanctions.

Zuhayr and Asif acted on behalf of the former Iraqi regime and several of its senior officials. Zuhayr and Asif provided personal assistance to Hussein's oldest son, Uday Saddam Hussein, and to former Iraqi Presidential Secretary, Abid Hamid Mahmud al- Tikriti, both of whom were previously designated under EO 13315.

Information shows that Uday greatly benefited from his relationship with Zuhayr, Asif and SES. Notably, Zuhayr and Asif reportedly worked at the request of Uday to repatriate Adib Shaban, Uday's assistant, after Adib had fled from Iraq.

According to information available to the U.S. Government, Zuhayr was involved in efforts to help Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti flee Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. There is reason to believe he offered to help Hussein's younger son, Qusay Saddam Hussein, leave Iraq.

U.S. Government information also indicates that before October 2003, al-Tikriti allegedly transferred large amounts of money to Zuhayr, who in turn earmarked the money as a monthly allowance for Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti's family.

Information available to the U.S. Government indicates that, since the fall of the former Iraqi regime, SES has employed or supported a number of former regime officials, notably Munir Mamduh Awad al-Qubaisi, the director of the Al Basha'ir Trading Company. Al Basha'ir was one of Iraq's largest arms procurement front companies. Both Munir and Al Basha'ir were previously designated under EO 13315.

re- Connecticut and nerve gas post

" Some County Officials Question Need for Nerve Gas Antidote Kits
By: Asa Fitch
06/09/2005


"As state homeland security officials contemplate a campaign to equip police officers, firefighters and ambulance crews in Connecticut with nerve agent antidote kits for use in a terrorist attack, the plan is getting a mixed response in the rural Northwest Corner of the state. At least a couple of officials here are wondering whether the kits are really necessary.

This amazes me.

Oh great.

It seems so easy, if one were determined, to contaminate water supplies. We screen for bacteria and some chemicals such as volatile organics, but think of how many chemicals and biologicals we DON'T screen for....have not felt the need for, perhaps do not have reliable tests for detection.

Recall AQ said they were capable of poisoning the water supply to a major US cit?

Just pondering the possibilities...

-35, 410 Interchange Closed After Big Rig Rolls Over

"Cleanup Expected To Take Several Hours"

POSTED: 8:26 am CDT June 10, 2005
UPDATED: 1:51 pm CDT June 10, 2005
SAN ANTONIO --
ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""It's going to take a while," said San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Randy Jenkins. "This is a controlled situation. We don't want people to feel like there will be a quick explosion out here. That's not going to be the case."
The big rig was headed northbound on Interstate 35 when the driver lost control after he took the curve to the Loop 410 interchange too fast."

"With that said, such attacks would likely generate even greater backlash against the moslem community than 911 did."

I agree.

"Fighting to stay in Norway, Krekar praises Osama bin Laden"

09/06/2005 AFP

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "OSLO, June 9 (AFP) - 19h59 - Mullah Krekar, the founder of radical Islamist group Ansar al-Islam who is fighting an expulsion order from Norway, on Thursday reiterated his praise for Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, calling him "a jewel" of Islam, media reported.

"I do not deny that I have said that Osama bin Laden is a jewel among the imams of Islam. He is faithful to the religion," Krekar told an Oslo court, Norwegian news agency NTB reported, as he tries to prove that he presents no threat to Norway.

Norwegian authorities decided in February 2003 to expel Krekar, whose real name is Fateh Najmeddin Faraj, due to national security concerns, but his deportation was suspended until the situation in Iraq improves."

without these valiums

pez I don't know you and you don't know me. You need to should flush the Valium down the toilet, NOW. The Valium will cause you to be uneasy and they are not a way to live one's life.

I am not nervous or fearful. I am fairly calm about ALL the world events THEY are going to come to past. I am old enough to remember the building of America, the work and faith to build it.

America was built on promises from GOD... Proverbs 4:4 Then he taught me and said to me, "Let your heart hold fast my words;Keep my commandments and live;

Matthew 28"Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

John 16:33
"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

Pakistan is an important ally??

Mushie "doesn't want to know" where OBL is (of course he knows- he just can't disclose or he would be forced to act- angering a large proportion of the Paki population)

Pakistan denies access to Khan- who spread nuclear info around the world like wildfire. No punishment for Khan. No demand for information about who received what information and what countries and companies were involved.

Disgusting.
