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."

...and footage captured from terrorists filming their intelligence gathering activities. Also, during the workshop will be displayed explosive vests and switches (real looking inert demos)

This is the type of information our MSM should be imparting on the general public. This education could very well save lives - but NOOOOOOOOOOO, skewing conservatives, the leftist view of the Iraq war and so-called reality TV - now THAT'S programming. (sarcasm off)

Four Terror Suspects Arrested in Riyadh Raid Qusti, Arab News

RIYADH, 14 July 2005 — Security forces arrested four people yesterday morning in Al-Naseem district, east of the capital, on the suspicion of being affiliated with those on the new list of 36 top terrorists.

The Interior Ministry confirmed the arrests to Arab News saying that it was part of the “combing operation which is taking place in several districts of the city.”

The statement said: “Security officers arrested the suspects and are questioning them to find out their role in deviant activities.” The Interior Ministry did not mention the names of the arrested suspects or specify the charges that were filed against them.

On Tuesday, security forces in the capital began their second combing operation to flush out any terror suspects in Al-Murooj, King Fahd and Al-Khaleej districts.

Twenty-five units from the security police, 10 units from the Special Forces Unit and 15 units from Riyadh Police Patrol Unit participated in Tuesday’s operation.

According to eyewitnesses in King Fahd district, police sealed off all entries and exits to the neighborhood and established a security checkpoint asking drivers in vehicles going in or coming out for their IDs and documents.

They also gathered information from furnished apartments in the area and asked residents if they had seen any suspicious activities. Officers also asked citizens and residents alike for their legal papers in many byways in the district. Tuesday’s combing of the three districts continued until 1 a.m.

The ministry said that more neighborhoods in the capital would be combed in the following days, without specifying any particular district. The districts of Al-Naseem, Al-Rawdah, King Fahd and Al-Suwaidi have been the most notorious in the capital for terrorist activities.

Later in the day, a source said that police arrested three other suspects on Riyadh-Taif road yesterday.

Arab News learned that the suspects were stopped at a security checkpoint on the road and were arrested after police became suspicious of the vehicle they were driving in. The ministry could not confirm whether the arrested were on the list of top terrorists.

""We do not see George Bush's daughters signing up," said Ragina Johnson, a member of the International Socialist Organization."

Coincidentally Ms Johnson did not mention John Kerry's or President Clinton's daughters. Putting the loved ones of our top political offices in war's way would make them high profile targets of the insurgents. Common sense, as we discussed recently, could be applied here.

S'pose you already saw this, huh...?


THE TRIAL OF THEO VAN GOGH'S KILLER is underway, and Dutch blog PeakTalk is covering it. Don't miss this post:

One of the absolute benefits of the Van Gogh trial is the fact that in Mohammed Bouyeri we have pure, unrefined jihadist material at our disposal like we have never had it before. The 9/11 hijackers perished together with their innocent victims, many hardcore al-Qaeda and Taliban members have been killed in Afghanistan, the al-Zarqawi division in Iraq is decimated regularly, a number of the Madrid bombers equally perished to the afterlife, and there’s no sign of the London attackers as of yet. What we have been able to incarcerate so far in my opinion is second-tier material, a number of the residents of Gitmo have started talking and some of them have even been released. Not so with Bouyeri, who is likely to remain behind bars forever, silently. And although he won’t say anything and refuses to co-operate, just by observing him we can paint a pretty scary picture, one that reminds us again of what we're actually fighting.

Just keep scrolling.

Those Who Live Among Us
Abeer Mishkhas, abeermishkhas@arabnews.com

Al-Watan newspaper recently published a story about Al-Zulfa region where three of the terrorists on the government’s “most wanted” list come from. Through talking to residents in the region, it was clear that there was a pool of extremism here.

A lawyer said that one of the terrorists lived in a neighborhood that was locally known as “immigrants” district.

People who lived in “immigrants” district shared the same extremist line of thought. In this neighborhood, schools were not allowed to play the national anthem as it was considered un-Islamic; pictures and portraits were banned.

The mosques in this district did not deal with the presence of this group in the area, the local imams ignored it. The lawyer added that some local charity organizations supported this group since some of them had no actual job and had no income.

Residents added that schools in the region used to ask some people from the group to give lectures to students and, in general, it was suspected that schools were spreading extremist thoughts through some of their teachers.

It took an official list from the Ministry of Interior to make people speak about extremists living among them. I wonder how many there are that people do not talk about. Are we going to wait for the coming lists to identify the rest of them?

Our problem lies in the fact that we do not like to interfere and prefer safety to confrontation. The people of Al-Zulfi and others in similar circumstances lived for years listening to all sorts of fatwas that criminalize most of their daily activities and beliefs, yet they did not talk about it.

It is happening here in Jeddah as well, but with a different twist. In mosques you hear imams talk about infidels, tell young people that most of what they do is forbidden; give them a bleak picture of their future if they lend their ears to “liberal” voices outside. Some of these imams do not even mention the problems that their neighborhoods suffer from, and yet they detail what is happening in Iraq and Palestine. That is not to belittle the importance of these topics, but is it really the role of the mosque to become engaged in politics? Was not one of the first functions of the mosque to serve the community?

When it comes to communities, you will find imams talking about Muslims’ ordeals outside the border without even giving a thought to addressing a problem in their neighborhood.

The Al-Zulfi story also tells us that somehow we live in a conflict. A commentator on a website about the schools at Zulfi said that he agreed with banning music from school saying that this is “the right Islamic way.” What he did not say is that music is part of his life and everyone’s life whether he liked it or not. Denying that for the sake of argument does not work; it might mean that society will have to be divided to cater to each school of thought.

In one of the Saudi international schools abroad, some of the parents objected to having music lessons, but other families were in favor of them. There was no rule banning music from the school; yet one day the students found their musical instruments on the floor smashed. The culprit was known but nothing could be done.

It is akin to forcing people to listen to limited and narrow ideas; even if they do not believe in it, they will have to live with its destructive ramifications.

What happened in London last week says the same thing. The bombers lived in England and yet they rejected some aspects of the life there, political or religious. They did what all the extremists before them have done; they forced their opinion on others in the most criminal way even though it was their own society that suffered the terrible consequences

Ops..racial profiling....can't do that...better for innocents to die. /sarc

Sorry a_d, it's not really sarcasm. It's true. The ACLU and CAIR are protecting the terrorists. Us, we're on our own and most certainly innocents will die because of it.
