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!

Was Bomber's "New York" Shirt A Message?
Full Story

It's hardly a unique fashion statement for a mass transit rider: a Yankees-style cap, and a "New York" sweat shirt.

But the New York Police Department is teaming with British authorities to determine whether those items were worn by suspects in the London terror cases to send a "purposeful message" to the city, according to an NYPD officials.

David Cohen, the NYPD's deputy commissioner of intelligence, raised the concern earlier this week at a security briefing for business leaders at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan.

Did you listen to Coast to Coast?

If not you missed a good program, both segments were about
things that we have covered here.

John Loftus, has to be lurking here, his conclusions were so close to what we have reached.

It was as though I was listening to the Threat Matrix live
on the radio.

And he did not allow Noury to push him around or go into the
far out areas, it was fun to hear someone who knew his subject and could answer at once and not change it to please Noury.

Not being a TV watcher, I had never heard Loftus before.

It is a blessing that the rockets missed.

I will go read your thread on it in a minute.

The news was on again, did not name the second ship, is it
the Kitty Hawk?

This is the 19th, that so many were thinking about.

"German Court Convicts Suspect in 9/11 Hijackings"
Friday, August 19, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "HAMBURG, Germany — A court on Friday convicted a Moroccan man suspected of helping the Sept. 11 hijackers of membership in a terrorist organization and sentenced him to seven years in prison.

Presiding Judge Ernst-Rainer Schudt (search), announcing the conviction of Mounir el Motassadeq after a yearlong retrial, did not immediately explain the Hamburg state court's reasons for the decision."

Kitty Hawk?

No. (At least according to the reports I've seen so far.)

Turkish Police Seize 173-gr Uranium from Russia, Detain Two Persons

ISTANBUL (A.A) - 16.08.2005 - Turkish security forces seized 173 grams of medium-grade uranium in Istanbul, sources told the A.A on Tuesday.

Two people who were planning to sell the substance in a bottle for 7 million USD, were detained. The detainees said that they smuggled the substance from Russia.

Sources noted that the substance had the capacity to meet one-year electricity requirement of New York city of the United States.

Meanwhile, Turkish Atomic Energy Agency experts, after examining the substance, said "the substance contains 17 percent of the U-235 isotope. The remaining 83 percent is mostly the U-238 isotope which does not contribute directly to the fission process."

Uranium found in nature consists largely of two isotopes: U-235 and U-238. The energy production in nuclear reactors is from the 'fission' or splitting of the U-235 atoms, a process which releases energy in the form of heat. U-235 is the main fissile isotope of uranium.

Under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) signed also by Turkey, sale, purchase and transportation of any amount of uranium are subject to international restrictions.

It's good to know that law enforcement in the big cities is covering that aspect.

Osama Bin Laden remains top of the wanted list
Shortly after the 11 September 2001 attacks, the US issued a list of al-Qaeda suspects. Some have now been captured or killed, and some new names have been added to those still at large......

Oh, I have to tell you!

Last night I was watching this huge cloud formation outside for about an hour. The cloud just hung there and flashed lightening constantly, without thunder.

It was better than watching fireworks!

I've never seen anything quite like it.
