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
Terrorists could be just getting started
Full Story

New York City and Washington. Bali, Indonesia; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Istanbul, Turkey; Madrid, Spain. And now London.

When will it end? Where will it all lead?

The experts aren't encouraged. One terrorism researcher sees the prospect of "endless" war. Adds the man who tracked Osama bin Laden for the CIA, "I don't think it's even started yet."

ICE DEPORTS INTERNATIONAL ALIEN SMUGGLING RING MEMBER


CHICAGO - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) today deported a 28-year-old Ecuadorian national who helped smuggle hundreds of illegal aliens into the United States using fraudulent U.S. passports.

Henry Bolivar Rendon-Arizaga, an illegal alien from Ecuador, was turned over to ICE June 19 upon his release from prison and remained in federal custody until this morning when he was deported to Quito, Ecuador.

Rendon-Arizaga was part of an organization that recruited U.S. citizens to apply for U.S. passports using photographs of illegal aliens from South America - mostly children from Ecuador - for fees of $12,000 to $14,000 each. Once the U.S. citizen agreed to assist in fraudulently obtaining the U.S. passport, they would be provided with a photo of an undocumented alien to submit with the passport application. The U.S. citizen would be paid $300 to $500 to turn the passport over to the alien smuggling organization. Smuggling organizers in New York then collected payment from the family members of the smuggled alien. Smuggling fees were paid and illicit proceeds were distributed between the conspirators via wire transfers and cash transactions.

Rendon-Arizaga pleaded guilty in January 2004 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to conspiracy to fraudulently obtain U.S. passports to smuggle South Americans into the U.S. for financial gain. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison.

Rendon-Arizagadez and his co-conspirators were the targets of a two-year joint investigation conducted by ICE, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Seven individuals have been sentenced in this case.

The investigation began Jan. 7, 2003 into an alien smuggling organization dedicated to illegally recruiting, transporting, harboring and smuggling hundreds of illegal aliens from Ecuador and South America into the United States.

"Alien smuggling poses a serious threat to our national security," said ICE Field Office Director Deborah Achim. "ICE has no tolerance for anyone making, selling, providing or using fraudulent documents to circumvent our nation's immigration laws." Achim oversees ICE Detention and Removal Operations in a six-state area that includes: Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas and Missouri.

Chicago ICE deported more than 6,100 criminal and illegal aliens living in the agency's operational area in fiscal year 2004, a 28-percent increase from the previous year.

Did you try calling local police first? Homeland Security needs a tweak or two judging from your experience!

MAN KNOWN AS ‘PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE’ IN MEXICO CAPTURED IN LOS ANGELES
Notorious bank robbery suspect reportedly had plastic surgery to disguise appearance

LOS ANGELES – A former paratrooper in the Mexican military suspected in a string of violent bank robberies in Mexico City is back in his native country today following his capture by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Los Angeles yesterday, ending a nearly two decade international manhunt.

Arturo Montoya, alias Alfredo Rios Galeana, is featured on Mexico’s list of Most Wanted fugitives for his role in a series of bloody bank robberies that rocked Mexico City in the 70s and 80s. Montoya, who is being sought in Mexico on eight felony warrants - including charges of murder, kidnapping, and robbery - has been at large since his dramatic escape from a Mexican prison in 1986. Montoya fled after a team of eight armed commandos showed up at the federal penitentiary where he was being held and used a hand grenade to blast a hole in the wall of the prison.

The 51-year-old was taken into custody without incident on immigration violations at his residence in South Gate by members of ICE’s fugitive operations team Monday afternoon. ICE was assisted by investigators from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as well as investigators assigned to the Los Angeles Regional Fugitive Task Force, including Deputy United States Marshals and agents from the United States Secret Service and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Montoya’s arrest came after DMV investigators received a tip on the fugitive’s whereabouts in the Los Angeles area. According to DMV’s sources, Montoya had undergone cosmetic surgery to alter his appearance. ICE verified his identity through fingerprints.

“Our message to international fugitives is that our borders will not be barriers to bringing violent criminals to justice,” said Norma Bonales, acting deputy field office director for ICE detention and removal operations in Los Angeles. “ICE is working closely with our law enforcement partners locally and around the globe to identify these individuals and take them off the streets.”

United States Marshal Adam Torres praised the outstanding cooperation that led to Montoya’s arrest and vowed that the Marshals Service and its partner agencies in the Regional Fugitive Task Force are committed to making the Los Angeles area a safer place by tirelessly pursuing violent fugitives.

“No matter where you run, no matter how long you are wanted, keep looking over your shoulder, because we will be coming after you,” Torres said.

ICE coordinated closely with representatives from the Mexican Attorney General’s Office to finalize arrangements for Montoya’s removal. He was taken to the port of entry at San Ysidro early this afternoon where he was met by Mexican law enforcement officials.

The identification and removal of fugitives and criminal aliens is one of ICE’s top enforcement priorities. In the last ten months, ICE’s fugitive operations teams in Los Angeles have arrested at least 17 violent Mexican fugitives, including more than 12 who are facing murder charges in Mexico.

I'm really surprised no one has gotten back to you. They keep telling us to be vigilant... it seems like it's pointless if that vigilance is ignored.

People in America must do their part of "being vigilant" in order to defeat these terrorists.

LONDON BOMBS: ITALY BE PREPARED, AL-QAEDA WILL STRIKE SOON, SAYS SAUDI DISSIDENT


Rome, 12 July (AKI) - A Saudi dissident exiled in London has warned Italy that it will be the next to be hit after London. "Italy should be very careful, al-Qaeda will strike it soon. Following its strategy, that is the most logical thing it will do," Saad al-Faqih, a surgeon the US believes has helped finance al-Qaeda, told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

"After Spain, Italy was the weakest link in the chain of allies in Iraq," he told the newspaper, pointing out that the country's relations with America have subsequently worsened. "Osama bin Laden will be well aware of that. He follows everything. The murder of your secret service agent in Baghdad [Nicola Calipari, who was shot dead by an American soldier at a checkpoint in March, as he took newly freed Italian hostage Giuliana Sgrena to the airport] certainly won't have passed him by, or the anger of the Milan judge over the illegal kidnapping carried out in your country by the CIA. It could be that these diplomatic differences with Washington have convinced al-Qaeda to strike London before Rome or Milan, but it is only a question of time," he said.

Al-Faqih, a medical doctor who has lived in the British capital for many years, vehemently denies any links with Osama bin Laden's group and his supporters claim he is simply an advocate for peaceful reform in the Saudi kingdom. However, the US has indicated him as a suspected associate of al-Qaeda and has frozen the funds of his group, the Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia (MIRA). He describes himself as "only an observer", even though he is said to have crossed paths with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, fighting the Soviets there, alongside the Mujahadeen.

He says he is so sure that Italy will be attacked "from observing al-Qaeda's behaviour and from a knowledge of the Koran. The London bombs are a message to the United Kingdom and the whole of Europe. Osama was explicit immediately after the Madrid attacks. He offered the Old Continent [Europe] a unilateral truce which was completely ignored. Now he has turned to other means of convincing them. Italy should brace itself."

Al-Faqih also highlights a saying of the Prophet Muhammad as proof that Italy will be hit, saying, "Osama remembers the words of the Prophet: "You [Muslims] will make a truce with the Romans and will fight a common enemy." There are other versions of the same 'hadis' [a saying of the Prophet]: "You will force the Romans to a truce...". This is exactly what Bin Laden wants: to force Italy to abandon the alliance with America."

More recent spoutings from Al Fagih:

“It has nothing to do with me,” he said from his home in Willesden, northwest London. “I condemn these attacks.”

Al-Fagih, however, said he was in no doubt that Al-Qaeda was behind the bombings and claimed the perpetrators were either “indigenous” Muslims or foreigners who had been settled in Britain for some time.

“Thanks to the American invasion of Iraq, Al-Qaeda has no shortage of manpower,” he said. “My sources tell me that 3,000 Saudis have joined the jihad in Iraq and are prepared to become suicide bombers anywhere in the world.”

Sami Al-Arian needs to be either deported or settled down in a cozy cell with GWB monogrammed slippers because our jurors command it! Hopefully the judge and jury will apply common sense to dealing with this traitorous jihadi.

"noting that a U.S.-sponsored program to secure nuclear components in the former Soviet Union thus far had only locked up about a third of an estimated 600 tons of weapons-usable material."

"It's just not protected," she said. "This is hot stuff. If you steal 20 kilograms of that material, you can build a nuclear weapon."

Good News

In order to solidify the command of Allah to his Mujahideen servants on his path, to gather their words and to unite themselves under one banner, so that they become a single rank in front of Allah's enemies: The Brigades of Al Mouqdad announce their joining with the Army of Ansar al Sunna.

And we will continue our unification plan with other Mujahideen, coming from the healthy minhadj, so that we gather ourselves under the same flag, in order to attain Allah's satisfaction, to solidify the love for Allah, and to madden his enemies.
