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."

The Terrorists' Next Move By Chris Brown
FrontPageMagazine.com | August 3, 2005


Here is something you may not know about the recent terrorist attacks in London: Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian terrorist mastermind currently plying his lethal craft in Iraq, may have had a hand in their execution. As we speak, counterterrorism investigators are actively pursuing any connection between the 7/7 bombings and the al-Qaeda commander. Whether this turns out to be the case remains to be seen. What is clear, however, is that European intelligence services remain dangerously ignorant of al-Qaeda’s internal hierarchy as well as the extent of its reach in Europe.

Before we address this intelligence failure, we must first understand the London attacks. And to do this we must begin by placing them in their correct context. Many will seek to lay the blame for these attacks on British involvement in Operation Iraqi Freedom. That assertion is false. The London attacks have their origin in attacks that were planned by al-Qaeda and foiled in the fall of 2002. These planned attacks were to use ricin, cyanide, or both, and were aimed at London and Paris. (Al-Qaeda had planned a similar type of operation in Rome around the same time.) In addition, in 2002, the London cell was also reportedly planning to target the city’s subway, the Underground, with this unconventional attack. Significantly, that plot was hatched—and the target chosen—long before coalition forces had set foot inside Iraq.
 
But can the London blasts credibly be ascribed to al-Qaeda?

Thanks, Cindy. I guess you had a few others like these waiting in the wings. As it was saying in that FrontPage article, they're not too subtle.

Iraq and Al Qaeda - The Algerian Connection
The Weekly Standard ^ | 08/03/2005 12:00:00 AM | Thomas Joscelyn

Posted on 08/03/2005 5:37:54 PM PDT by Big Jake

The Algerian Connection Why did Saddam financially support an al Qaeda affiliate in Algeria? by Thomas Joscelyn 08/03/2005 12:00:00 AM

LATE LAST MONTH an Algerian-born terrorist named Ahmed Ressam received a commuted sentence of 22 years (prosecutors had recommended 35 years) in prison for his role in planning to blow up the Los Angeles airport. His sentence infuriated many since his involvement in the plot against LAX was immediately transparent. After all, he was captured in December 1999 after driving off a ferry from British Columbia in a vehicle laden with bomb-making explosives.

Ressam received a commuted sentence after providing investigators with good intelligence about the al Qaeda network which spawned the plot. (Ressam has since stopped cooperating.) Indeed, Ressam's failed attempt against LAX was part of a series of al Qaeda-related attacks against targets around the world (in Jordan, Australia, and elsewhere) at the turn of the new millennium. There is still much about these planned attacks we do not know.

Ressam's story, like that of so many other al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists, contains an endless list of murky connections to a host of nefarious people and groups. The most troubling of these ties is to al Qaeda's Algerian affiliates, the Armed Islamic Group (aka the "GIA") and its descendant, the Salafi Group for Preaching and Combat (the "GSPC"). The history of the GIA is an especially violent one and Ressam is just one of many terrorists to have operated under its auspices. Indeed, the Algerian tentacle of the vast terror network executed scores of lethal attacks spanning more than a decade.

IT IS A CURIOUS FACT, then, that Saddam Hussein provided financial assistance to the GIA when it was in its earliest stages of germination.

Absolutely, even as they are specifically bombing music and DVD stores in Iraq and Waziristan.

Granny, thanks for all your links and unique searches! I would have never seen this one on the possible strategy document to the Spanish attack and it's most interesting.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
This information is current as of today, Thu Aug 04 2005 01:01:06 GMT-0700.

United Kingdom

August 3, 2005

This public announcement is issued to alert Americans to ongoing security concerns in the United Kingdom. This public announcement expires on November 3, 2005.

National and local authorities in the United Kingdom continue their investigations of the London bombings on July 7 and the attempted bombings on July 21. The London Metropolitan Police made several arrests, but also stated “the threat remains, and is very real.” The police have increased their uniform and undercover presence on the London public transportation system.

U.S. citizens are advised to maintain a high level of vigilance, take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness, and exercise caution in public places or while using public transportation. U.S. citizens are also advised to fully cooperate with British authorities if and as needed while they continue their investigations.

U.S. citizens are reminded of the potential for further terrorist actions against U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists do not distinguish between official and civilian targets. Terrorist actions may include bombings, hijackings, hostage taking, kidnappings and assassinations. Increased security at official U.S. facilities may lead terrorists and their sympathizers to seek softer targets such as public transportation, residential areas and apartment complexes, and public areas where people congregate including restaurants, hotels, clubs, and shopping areas. U.S. citizens are advised to immediately report any unusual or suspicious activity in the United Kingdom to the police or the U.S. Embassy in London.

U.S. citizens living or traveling in the United Kingdom are encouraged to register through the State Department's travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov, and to obtain updated information on travel and security within the United Kingdom. U.S. citizens without Internet access may register at the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in London and enroll in the warden system (emergency alert network) to obtain updated information on travel and security in the United Kingdom.

Embassy communications with the resident American citizen community, or “Warden Messages,” can be found on the Embassy’s website at http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/warden_messages/index.html. U.S. citizens should also consult the Department of State's latest Consular Information Sheet for the United Kingdom and the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement at http://travel.state.gov.

The U.S. Embassy in London can be reached at (020) 7499-9000 between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. local time. American citizens may also obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada, and 1-202-501-4444 from overseas. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. Federal Holidays).
