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.

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.

It is called "Prayer".

When a large group asks God for rain, he seems to hear the prayer.

This happened in Griffin, Georgia about 2 years ago. Drought, excesses building and no rain. The local churches got together at a local football stadium and Prayed the rain down.

It was a good good feeling.

Al Qaeda aids Taliban resurgence,
officials say

BY JONATHAN S. LANDAY
KNIGHT RIDDER NEWSPAPERS

August 19, 2005

KABUL, Afghanistan -- Nearly four years after a U.S.-led military
intervention toppled it from power, the Taliban has reemerged as a
potent threat to stability in Afghanistan.

Though it's a far cry from the mass movement that overran most of
the country in the 1990s, today's Taliban is fighting a guerrilla war
with new weapons, including portable anti-aircraft missiles, and
equipment bought with cash sent through Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda
network, according to Afghan and Western officials.

While it was in power, the Taliban provided safe haven to bin Laden
and Al Qaeda.

The violence continued Thursday. A homemade bomb hit a U.S.
convoy, killing two U.S. soldiers and wounding two others, near the
southern city of Kandahar. A surge of violence since winter has killed
about 1,000 people in Afghanistan -- 59 U.S. soldiers among them.

Al Qaeda's monetary support is crucial, officials say.

The money is coming from "rogue elements and factional elements
living in the Middle East," Afghan Defense Minister Abdul Rahim
Wardak said in an interview.

Lt. George Hughbanks, an Army intelligence officer in Zabul province
-- one of the worst hit by the Taliban insurgency, said: "Al Qaeda is
channeling money and equipment."

The Taliban is now a disparate assemblage of radical groups
estimated to number several thousand, far fewer than when it was in
power before November 2001.

The groups are linked by a loose command structure and a desire to
drive out U.S.-led coalition and NATO troops, topple U.S.-backed
President Hamid Karzai and reimpose hard-line Islamic rule in
Afghanistan, according to Afghan and Western officials and experts.

The new U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, Ronald E. Neumann, said
Thursday that the Taliban had "absolutely no chance" of derailing the
Sept. 18 legislative elections because security would be too tight.

Some experts fear the Taliban's resurgence may be part of an Al
Qaeda strategy aimed at keeping the U.S. military stressed and
bleeding in Iraq and in Afghanistan.

"I think" Al Qaeda is "opening a second front," said Marvin Weinbaum,
a former State Department intelligence analyst who's now at the
Middle East Institute in Washington. "I don't think the elections are
really the focus."

U.S. officials said they had no proof of such an Al Qaeda-coordinated
strategy.

Could be residual effect of the latest worms. Thanks for the report on this Mata. I'll be trying to use one on the way home tonight. I'll report back but I expect no problems.

Please keep us informed! Thanks again.

If I remember correctly, OBL approached Colombian drug lords with an offer to buy up cocaine, which he planned to poison as made into crack and distributed in the US, Allegedly the druglords decided that despite OBL's "generous" offer, they would make more money as things were----OBL's offer would be "bad for business"


The heroin deaths in NYC appear to be due to an additive used to cut the heroin, which proved to be toxic.

I don't think OBL want heroin tainted. Look at all the money coming from heroin sales....and the heroin is coming from Afghanistan. Bet OBL would like to see MORE heroin addicts in the US

A powerful blessing.

I did for years.

Then learned about lightning strikes and that took all the

Have you found these photos before? Interesting, when one knows where they came from. These are exciting Sky photos, no people in them.

I am not sure that I know what a MIRV is, a nuclear type/capable missile I am assuming.

Egypt detains suspected bomb mastermind

8/19/2005, 6:12 p.m. ET
By MAGGIE MICHAEL
The Associated Press

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Egyptian police have detained a suspected mastermind behind last month's deadly attacks in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik, and Interior Ministry said Friday.

Hassan el-Arishi was arrested late Thursday at a house in the northern Sinai Peninsula, the official said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Other suspects detained since the three July 23 bombings that killed at least 64 people have identified el-Arishi as one of the men who helped carry out the attacks, the official said.

El-Arishi had been using identity documents belonging to a Nile Delta farmer, the official added. The suspect's family is being questioned.

No other details were provided.

The detainee's name had not previously surfaced as a suspect in the Sharm attacks, which Egyptian investigators believe may have been carried out by homegrown Islamic militant cells based in the Sinai, possibly with international links.

The attacks included two car bombs and a bomb in a knapsack that ripped through a luxury hotel, a neighborhood full of Egyptians and the entrance to a beach promenade.

From Bosnia, they can attack anywhere in Europe. ""[Convicted terrorist] Karim Said Atmani recently returned to Bosnia after being released early from French prison for 'good behavior,'" terrorism expert and author Evan Kohlmann told CNS."

As far as the Pakistani's are concerned, I don't trust them. They say they have all these troops on the border but yet no one can catch BL and his gang.

The Moroccan apparently only got 7 years because......

Yet the Hamburg state court faulted U.S. authorities' failure to deliver more evidence as it acquitted Mounir el Motassadeq of direct involvement in the attacks, finding him innocent of more than 3,000 counts of accessory to murder."

And, doesn't this sound like the US?

"The intelligence services bear considerable responsibility for letting in many of the extremists who have done so much damage in this country since the early 1990s and for doing so little to curtail their activities. It is distinctly ironic that those whose complacency helped to create the problem are now overreacting by pressing for unnecessarily draconian powers. Especially when some of these will make it harder to encourage British Muslims to inform on extremists — which must surely now be the intelligence services’ best hope."
