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!

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."

NY authorities accuse Maryland man of conspiring to support terror group
http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny--terrorismarrest0804aug04,0,4252030.story?coll=ny-region-apnewyork

NEW YORK -- A Maryland man was charged with conspiracy to help a terrorist organization after he boasted that he went to Pakistan, attended terrorist training camps and agreed to provide whatever assistance was necessary, prosecutors said Thursday.

Mahmud Faruq Brent, of Gwynn Oak, Md., was charged after a New York musician arrested on similar charges in May agreed to meet with him and let the FBI record the encounter, according to a joint release by federal prosecutors, the FBI and New York police.

Brent was charged in a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan with conspiracy to provide material support to the Lashkar-e-Taiba organization, which the United States designated a terrorist organization in December 2001.

During the taped conversation at a hotel in Columbia, Md., Brent indicated he had traveled to Pakistan and into the mountains for training "and stuff" with "the mujahideen, the fighters," the release said.

He allegedly said that because of "treaties with Bush," it became dangerous for "foreigners" like him to stay in the camps, so he was moved from place to place.

Prosecutors said Brent indicated that he would never go back on his decision to go to the training camps operated by Lashkar and that it was "one of the better decisions in my life."

He also said he had agreed to provide whatever "assistance" he could there and expressed hope that Allah would bless him for his efforts, according to the release.

The investigation of Brent began, authorities said, after they found an address book with telephone numbers for him when they arrested Tarik Shah, 42, of New York.

Brent was being held in Manhattan and was scheduled to appear in court later Thursday. Prosecutors didn't say if he had a lawyer.

Shah pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges on June 28, and defense attorney Anthony Rico called the case against his client "ridiculous."

ARAB MUSLIMS ON SLAUGHTER SPREE OF SOUTH SUDANESE CHRISTIANS

As news reports on retaliatory killings and violence against South Sudanese Christians in Khartoum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khartoum ) surface, armed Arab Muslim gangs continue to roam the streets of the city and suburbs, despite the dawn-to-dusk curfew.

"I am extremely worried about these recent grave developments in Sudan, especially since the Sudanese government is not willing to take immediate and stern action to stop the killings," said Sabit Alley, a leader in the South Sudanese Community in America and an Associate Representative of the Sudan People's Liberation Army/Movement (SPLA/M), in an SPLA/M news release. "Members of the South Sudanese Community fear that the world will witness a repeat of the Rwandan Genocide in Khartoum if the killing does not stop."

According to the news release, the "racially and religiously motivated attacks" were instigated by "fanatic Muslim clerics" in retaliation for demonstrations and riots carried out by South Sudanese youth in the capital of Khartoum to protest the weekend death of their leader Dr. John Garang.

Garang was recently sworn in as First Vice President of Sudan, following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) between the Sudanese Islamic Fundamentalist government and the SPLA/M.

Southern Sudanese are concerned, SPLA/M reported, that the government, a perpetrator of the 22-year genocidal war against them, is responsible for the death of Garang, and therefore they are calling for an international investigation of the crash.

Though media reports place the number killed since Saturday at about 130, the SPLA/M news release reported that other accounts from the city and the outskirts of Khartoum, where much of the violence is now occurring, indicate that the number killed may be as high as 400.

According to the news release, eyewitnesses said over 100 dead bodies have been thrown into the River Nile, and many of the homes and churches of Sudanese Christians have been destroyed in the suburbs.

"Despite the government's call for calm, the killing is escalating," Alley said in the news release. "South Sudanese residents in Khartoum report that Muslim religious leaders have declared a jihad (religious holy war), and are mobilizing their followers to carry out revenge killings on Christians living in the city and its suburbs."

According to the SPLA/M release, members of the South Sudanese Community in the Diaspora are calling on the U.S. and the International Community for intervention to help stop the killing of South Sudanese Christian civilians in Khartoum and its suburbs, preserve the CPA and ensure that peace is established.

And in a recently issued news release, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) extended its condolences to the people of Sudan following Garang's death.

The news release read in part, "Dr. Garang was a voice for fair treatment for all of Sudan's marginalized peoples, including most recently the Muslim Africans of Darfur who have been subjected to genocide by the ruling elite in Khartoum.

"In light of the loss of Dr. Garang, the Commission believes more than ever that U.S. leadership is crucial for peace for Sudan. In order to ensure that peace, stability, and reconciliation are achieved in Sudan, the Commission continues to recommend that the U.S. government remains engaged at the highest levels in bringing about a just and lasting peace for all of Sudan."

Qaeda says Islamic sharia must be only law in Iraq

I saw this coming over two years ago (and before that, too, in Islam Unveiled). From Reuters, with thanks to Eschwapp:


DUBAI (Reuters) - Iraq's al Qaeda group said on Thursday that Islamic sharia law should be the only legislation to govern the country, according to an Internet statement.
"The Islamic sharia is the right religion and anything else is wrong and rejected, including the constitution. No human being is allowed to legislate laws which are the right of God alone," said the statement posted on a Web site frequently used by the al Qaeda organization in Iraq.

"Participating in drafting legislations and the constitution is equal to infidelism and blatant polytheism. Whoever believes in it or calls for it or rules by it is an apostate and an infidel."

Could this be the preamble to a nucke attack on the United States?

Although OBL has gotten the 'legal' blessings to use nukes in jihad, I think WND and Art Bell folks are over exaggerating things in a manner similar to Y2K. Smuggling as many nukes as alledged and maintaining them would require an operation of huge complexity - even for AQ. I think that if a mainland US strike is to occur, it will follow along the lines of Madrid/London against mass transit -or- simultaneous truck/car bombings in heavily populated/peopled area (malls/amusement parks, etc.)

My Mother told me that Russia bought a lot of Citicorp through some entity called Zamora or something like that. It stared with a Z. Maybe someone on here knows what it is.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

Mama Dearest found a report that says our Gov. is now writing a program that will do a granny search, it seems they have decided that they need more than the search for the names. sounded like a granny google to me.

Does anyone else get Google alerts, the last 20 that I have
opened tonight, that dealt with terror, won't work, I get the no server window.
= = = = = == =
Good work Mamadearest!!!!! Granny it happens all the time with me. Russian news is the worst.

Lots of times I get the google and do the same as you. When I don't get it to open I go to google and try a search.

I get anything for a 404 error, to not on server anymore, no articles except from a forgiegn source and something nothing at all.

"And it is useless to turn to us around. This official notice of the Al-Masri brigades is pessimo. For that it supports, evidently, but above all for who the company [... ]

Hour, the things seem changed without warning, at least in the various perception of the reliability of the threat that, yesterday evening, gave back to the Viminale also our apparatuses of intelligence (civil like military). [... ]

And this, although, and to dispetto of the previous ones. It is not in fact before the time that "To the Masri" churns the phantom of the massacre to the cospetto of our Country. It was already happened a year exactly makes. The 15 July 2004, an official notice announced for Italy a "bath of blood like that one of the 11 september 2001 in the USA". Less than a change than political majorities in our government. A such one signed this roba that defined "admirer tunisino of the two sheiks" and indicated to Italy a ultimatum of three months. Evidently, never respected [ republic ]

... and this admirer of the two sheiks threatened me personally... but republic always forgets about citarmi. like if the threats to the undersigned they had one smaller importance...

Md. man accused in terrorist support plan

NEW YORK (AP) — A Maryland man was charged with conspiring to help a terrorist organization after describing the time he spent at a terrorist training camp in Pakistan as "one of the better decisions in my life," prosecutors said Thursday.

Mahmud Faruq Brent, of Gwynn Oak, Md., allegedly boasted that he had agreed to provide whatever assistance was necessary.
