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."

Am I thinking correctly?

The west gets 4 bombs each time.

The east gets only 2.

Another madrassa owner, Mullah Riaz Durrani, who is also
leading spokesman for the Jamiah Ulema Islam (JUI), one
of Pakistan's traditional Islamic political parties, said: "It is
not speeches in madrassas that make these young men
into suicide bombers.

"That job is done by the Americans and the British
themselves, by Fox television and CNN, who broadcast the
outrages of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay.

"Britain should ask itself why a young man from Leeds,
educated in a British school, not a Pakistani madrassa,
should decide to become a suicide bomber."

Such arguments, which find a receptive audience across
Pakistan, are the more acceptable face of an extreme
anti-westernism that permeates the traditional Islamic
sections of Pakistani society.

Pakistan's president, Gen Pervaiz Musharraf, himself a
victim of assassination attempts by Islamic militants, has
advocated a course of "enlightened moderation" with the
madrassas.

However, very few have taken up the offer to modernise a
curriculum introduced in a Baghdad school in 1057.<<<<<

From your second link, they sure do tell lies.

Someone needs to tell him that we are willing to send them the senators that agree with them.......

Russia is such a nice peaceful country, but will also start training the children how to fight.

I wonder if the commies here will allow us to train our children to defend the country?

I am reading your mind and I don't like it one bit.

It has been done before, it showed up in Promed mail.org, a year or even 2 years ago.

The babies in Israel were doing poorly and starving, yet were being fed, with the most popular brand.

It turned out the formula came from Germany.

The manufacturer of the formula, had changed the ingredients and not checked to see if it was still a balanced formula.

It was faulty and of course, they promised to not make changes in the future.

There were several posts on it. My computer won't work at promed, so I can't help you there.

Promed has had several milk served and killed or made kids very sick, I know that it happened in Russia and in Indonesia, also in China I think.

I didn't look at the other pages on this search, but there are several on the first page (mixed in) and there should be the one about the muslims who were selling out of date formula in the east and south of U.S. a couple years ago, to raise funds for the terrorists.

When they were busted, they found that they were even using fancy equipment to alter the dates.

I have already warned my granddaughter, that she is not to buy any bargain formula, getting another great g. kid in a week or so.

When I first went to this site the top banner had a graphic of some weapons, now it's blank (for me). Also has links to the infamous PalTalk and others. The site looks familiar so I don't think it's new.

2 of 4 men arrested for possible
terror link are released

16 others held or sought in U.S.; all vehicles
carrying hazards to be stopped

Thursday, September 27, 2001

By SAM SKOLNIK
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER

Two of four Western Washington men
arrested yesterday on charges of
fraudulently obtaining licenses to transport
hazardous materials have been released.

Mustafa Al-Aboody, of Seattle, and Ali
Alazawi, of Everett, were freed following a
hearing today before a U.S. magistrate. The
other suspects, Haider Al Tamimi and
Hussain Sudani, remain in custody pending
further investigation.

The suspects have been
linked to six other men of
Middle Eastern descent who
were picked up yesterday by
FBI agents in Michigan and Missouri. Federal
authorities say they are searching for 10
more suspects who, like the others,
obtained their bogus permits after bribing a
licensing official in Pennsylvania.

The arrests came in the wake of FBI
warnings earlier this week that terrorists
may strike next on the nation's highways
using biological or chemical weapons.

Law enforcement officials in Seattle
cautioned that they did not know whether
any of those arrested have any connection
to the terrorist attacks.

"At this time, we have no indication that
there's any connection to the terrorists," FBI
spokeswoman Roberta Burroughs said.

"The public needs to be very, very careful
about jumping to conclusions," said
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Coopersmith,
the prosecutor who handled the case
yesterday. "I don't have any information
that there are any connections."

Confronted with the new threat, the U.S.
Transportation Department is asking state
law enforcement agencies to pull over every
truck with hazardous-materials placards
and check the drivers' credentials and
paperwork.

U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft told a
congressional committee yesterday that the
20 people "may have links to the hijackers"
who crashed passenger jets into the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11.

Al-Aboody, Tamimi and Alazawi appeared
briefly yesterday afternoon before U.S.
Magistrate John Weinberg. The hearing was
delayed until today, after the men said they
needed Arabic interpreters.

All have ties to Iraq, according to one law
enforcement official -- though it was unclear
if they are American citizens or have an
immigration status. According to the U.S.
Marshals Service, none of the men provided
the name of an employer to authorities after
their arrests.

The men were arrested on a federal warrant
issued in Pittsburgh, where they soon will be
arraigned.

FBI affidavits for the 10 arrested said that
between July 1999 and February 2000,
people from seven states had falsely
obtained licenses in Pennsylvania to haul
hazardous materials.

A driver's license examiner with the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
office in Pittsburgh provided the permits to
people who had not taken the required tests
or had suspended licenses, according to
court records.

The examiner was not identified in the court
papers.

He has told FBI agents that about six years
ago, he was introduced to a man, identified
by authorities as Abdul Mohamman, who
brought to him as many as 30 individuals
seeking bogus permits. The examiner said
he issued the hazardous-materials
licenses, or "endorsements," and was paid
$50 to $100 by Mohamman for each
document.

Almost immediately after receiving the false
Pennsylvania licenses, the four men
arrested in the Seattle area had attempted
to transfer the licenses to Washington state,
authorities said.

On Feb. 22, 2000, the Pennsylvania Bureau
of Driver Licensing received a phone call
from a Washington Department of Licensing
official who was concerned about the men
attempting to transfer their Pennsylvania
commercial driver's licenses to Washington.

In two of the cases, the men succeeded,
according to Marie Sullivan, a spokeswoman
for the Department of Licensing. Alazawi
and Al-Aboody received the commercial
permits with permission to carry hazardous
materials. Alazawi also received a
"tanker-material endorsement" that allows
the transport of large quantities of gasoline
and other fuels, Sullivan said.

The permits for the other two -- Tamimi and
Sudani -- were denied, Sullivan said.
Further details were not available.

As a result of the increased attention to the
possibility of terror attacks using trucks,
officials of chemical- and fuel-hauling
companies were scrambling yesterday to
find better ways to secure the vast fleet of
trucks and rail cars carrying chemicals and
fuels around the country.

Experts said the challenge was enormous,
with millions of pounds of toxic, flammable
or explosive chemicals and fuels moving on
American highways and railways each day.

The threats include rail cars full of
lung-searing chlorine or explosive propane
and the 50,000 tanker trucks that rumble
each day to gas stations around the
country, most of which hold as much fuel as
the Boeing 757 that slammed into the
Pentagon.

The Transportation Department yesterday
told inspectors from the motor carriers
office, who normally enforce rules on
matters such as driver fatigue, to fan out to
trucking companies carrying explosive or
poisonous materials and urge them to
review the security of their vehicles, parking
lots and drivers, said David Longo, a
spokesman for the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Administration, a branch of the
department.

"We're putting these carriers on notice that
they really need to take a close look at
certain things," he said.

The chemical industry has a tracking system
for monitoring shipments of dangerous
chemicals, designed mainly to alert rescue
crews to the contents of particular trucks
involved in accidents.

Hazardous materials include substances
that are explosive, corrosive, toxic,
infectious or radioactive. Commercial
driver's licenses are issued under a uniform
national standard, with transportation of
hazardous materials requiring a
challenging test and tighter scrutiny of
driving records.

Of the 169,401 commercial driver's license
holders in Washington state, about 37,000
of them have a hazardous-materials
endorsement.

The men arrested in the Seattle area have
lived here for years, according to court
records.

In 1995, Al-Aboody was involved in a car
accident in the University District. He was
behind the wheel, according to an accident
report, and was cited for negligent driving.

Alazawi was involved in an accident in the
Everett area. He filed a lawsuit in February
2000, seeking damages as a result of the
car wreck.

Al-Aboody lives in a small stucco apartment
building in Beacon Hill. Neighbors, who
refused to give their names, said they
strongly doubted he had anything to do with
a terrorist plot.

Tamimi lives with his mother and sister in a
dilapidated South Everett apartment
complex.

His sister, speaking through an interpreter,
said he has been in the country for seven
years. He has been working as a window
washer, she said, refusing further comment.

An Iraqi neighbor refused to give his name.
He said he strongly doubted that Tamimi
could have ties to terrorists.

"We're just normal guys," the neighbor said.

In other developments yesterday, federal
authorities in Virginia held a man named
Mohammed Abdi as an essential witness in
their investigation of the hijackings.

Abdi is a former airline food worker whose
name and phone number were found in a
car at Dulles International Airport, outside
Washington.

Abdi's lawyer, Joseph Bowman, said his
client knows nothing about the attacks.

The worldwide dragnet also resulted
yesterday in:

The arrest of six Iraqis found hiding in the
trunk of a car outside a Royal Air Force base
in Britain used by U.S. fighter jets.

The detention in Spain of six Algerians who
are allegedly linked to Osama bin Laden,
the prime suspect in the attacks on the
United States.

The arrest in the Netherlands of an Iraqi
man suspected of belonging to a radical
Muslim network.

News Release

July 13, 2005

DRUG SMUGGLER WHO CONCEALED 700 POUNDS OF DRUGS IN BUILDING BLOCKS SENTENCED TO 16 YEARS IN PRISON

BROWNSVILLE, Texas - A Mexican drug smuggler, who hid cocaine and methamphetamine in building blocks, was sentenced today to 192 months in prison, announced U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg and Alonzo Pena, special agent-in-charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in San Antonio.

Jose Luis Castillo-Meza, 37, a resident of Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas, Mexico, received the 16-year prison sentence and a five-year term of supervised release by Federal District Judge Andrew Hanen. Castillo-Meza pleaded guilty April 7 to possession with intent to distribute about 328 kilograms of cocaine and 7.7 kilograms of methamphetamine.

This investigation began in November 2004 when Chicago law enforcement officials seized drug money in paint cans from a tractor-trailer destined for a Harlingen, Texas, warehouse. They reported this information to ICE special agents. ICE special agents in Brownsville proceeded to the warehouse and found four individuals, including Castillo-Meza. Castillo-Meza, who initially gave a false name, identified himself as the warehouse supervisor. One man was in the process of loading pallets of building blocks onto a tractor-trailer, while the driver was strapping the loads, which was to be delivered to San Antonio that evening.

During a search, agents found paint cans and other pallets of building blocks. A canine drug detection dog alerted to the pallets. Agents took a sample block, which appeared normal, to the nearby international bridge for X-rays. The X-rays revealed bundles hidden within the block. Agents ultimately found 328.9 kilograms (723 pounds) of cocaine and 7.7 kilograms (17 pounds) of methamphetamine concealed in the blocks. Castillo-Meza and the forklift operator were arrested. Further investigation revealed that Castillo-Meza had bought the building blocks and mortar to seal up the hollow areas and had paid more than $5,000 cash. Both Castillo-Meza and the forklift driver had previously loaded and delivered a similar load of blocks to a location in San Antonio.

Special agents from the ICE Brownsville office, with the assistance of the Harlingen Police Department, conducted the investigation. Castillo-Meza was ordered remanded to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons to begin serving his 192-month sentence. The forklift operator was tried before a jury in April and found not guilty.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Oscar Ponce prosecuted this case.

The liberals are destroying America's reputation and seem to be damned proud of it. The notion of One Nation Under God repulses them and aligns them with our country's enemies.
