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.

"Feds fund VoIP tapping research"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The federal government is funding the development of a prototype surveillance tool by George Mason University researchers who have discovered a novel way to trace Internet phone conversations.

Their project is designed to let police identify whether suspects under surveillance have been communicating through voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)--information that would be unavailable today if people choose to communicate surreptitiously. The eavesdropping technique already has been shown to work with Skype, the researchers say."

Great moments from the online exploits of "Irhabi007", episode number 3,432
If there is one thing you can say about "Irhabi007" - an Al Qaida promoter whose online exploits we've reported on here for a couple of years now - it is that he has a penchant for overly complex solutions to relatively simple problems. Here is a recent example:



It's his personal filedump. But did he simply get this server account and upload his files to share with the rest of us? Nah.

First he stole someone's identity.

Then he used that identity to register the following domain name:

001101011010101011010100011101010011110011110111011101110.com

That's right, fifty-eight-zeros-and-ones-dot-com.

But wait, he's not done yet.

Then he used a Windows program as a little mini-browser, announced it to the brothers, who were supposed to download it and use it to access the files. We assume the purpose of this was to hide the "secret" location of his stash of files at fifty-eight-zeros-and-ones-dot-com.

Yeah, that worked.

Why anyone would download and run an executable from this guy is a good question. I guess a fool is born every minute and a fair number of such fools are jihadis...

All you content analysts out there in the audience can freely help yourselves to 007's stash using a good old web browser or any other HTTP-compliant tool, but keep those virus definitions fresh, because 007 has been known to get infected from time to time.

Oh, and nice job on the "rebirth" the Al Ansar forum 007. That lasted what? Two days before someone blasted it out of the water? Tsk, tsk.

Hi everyone. Long time no "see" (I have been slipping in and out every once in a while checking in here and there.)

I just wanted to comment on the 30212006484766450. I cross referenced all country and city codes going frontwards and backwards separating the above number into 2, 3 and 4 digit numbers and saw nothing extraordinary. ie, I checked 30, 302, 3021, 02, 021, 0212, etc. frontwards and backwards.

Hope I can stick around more and maybe help out some...

Good to see you again! Any help you can give is more than welcome.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Exactly. And just today aol (aolhell) had a lead article up with a pic about how many folks think GWB has been at the ranch too long. Then I read the gas guzzler President hit piece who travels the globe. The dumb media who hate us cannot logically have it both ways, but they sure act like it.

I end up chuckling at all these nasty aspersions cast. At the ranch GWB isn't using too much fossil fuel, but the media will send these hit pieces out anyway because they know some aspersions will stick in the sheeple's consciousness. The media hags target everything these days.

****OPINION: She lives in her own sick little world.****

If you're talking about the other "cindy" (purposeful small letters), IMHO anytime she is mentioned in the media or anywhere (including here) she is garnishing attention - which is her intent and purpose. I'll do my small part by, from this moment forward, refusing to acknowledge her or her pathetic quest to harrass and show disrepect to our country's leader.

"19 Charged for Gang Violence in Maryland"
Updated: Thursday, Aug. 25, 2005 - 3:57 PM

GREENBELT, Md. (AP) -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The indictments released Thursday say the men committed shootings, kidnappings and other gang-related crimes from April 2003 through June of this year. Six people were slain and gang members allegedly attempted to kill five others.

Montgomery County police arrested 12 people this month after MS-13-related attacks in which six teens were stabbed at a high school and shopping mall. Prince George's County police are investigating possible MS-13 links to recent stabbings as well.

The federal indictment, which a grand jury handed up Tuesday, accuses the 19 men of violating federal racketeering law. It does not charge them with individual crimes such as homicide or assault.

MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, originated in Los Angeles among Central American immigrants. An estimated 10,000 MS-13 members are in the United States, many in the Washington suburbs, which have a large population of Central American immigrants."

News Release

August 24, 2005

MICHIGAN MAN PLEADS GUILTY IN SCHEME TO SMUGGLE ALIENS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST TO THE UNITED STATES
-- Was one of 4 people charged last year from ring accused of smuggling roughly 200 aliens --

WASHINGTON, D.C. – United States Attorney Kenneth L. Wainstein, John C. Richter, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division, U.S. Department of Justice, and John P. Clark Homeland Security Deputy Assistant Secretary for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), today announced that Minas Mirza, 42, also known as “Jack” and “Nino”, of Warren, Michigan, pleaded guilty on August 19, 2005, to two counts of alien smuggling.

Mirza, who entered his guilty pleas before Judge Rosemary M. Collyer of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, faces a maximum of 10 years of imprisonment for violating 8 U.S.C. 11324 (a) (2) (B) (ii), admitting that he brought two aliens into the United States for commercial advantage and private financial gain. Mirza also faces a fine of $250,000.

Mirza’s guilty plea arose from his being charged along with three other defendants with smuggling aliens, including citizens of Iraq and other countries in the Middle East, into the United States primarily through South America. The defendants were charged in a five-count superceding indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on September 29, 2004, charging them with conspiracy to smuggle aliens into the United States beginning in early 2001 up through the present and bringing unauthorized aliens to the United States for commercial advantage or private financial gain.

According to the indictment, defendant Neeran Zaia owned a business called Universal Investment & Law Services, which she used as a conduit for alleged alien smuggling activities, advertising in Detroit media outlets, including an Arab-language magazine. Ms. Zaia and a co-conspirator also allegedly operated “Saudi-Jordan,” a travel agency located in Amman, Jordan, and met there with migrants who wished to enter the United States.

The indictment alleges that Ms. Zaia and a co-conspirator recruited aliens in Iraq and Jordan who wished to be taken to the United States in exchange for the payment or promised payment of money often for thousands of dollars. Ms. Zaia allegedly represented to the migrants that she could procure the appropriate documents to facilitate that travel, in exchange for those payments.

The indictment further alleges that Ms. Zaia and other conspirators promised aliens U.S. visas, but after securing partial payments for those visas, instead provided the aliens with visas from countries in South America. The defendants would allegedly transport the aliens to South American countries as a staging area for entry into the United States, and then once the aliens were in South America, they would demand additional money to bring them into the United States.

In the course of his guilty plea, Mirza admitted his role in the conspiracy and specifically to his having coordinated the arrangements to smuggle two aliens into the United States for personal financial gain and to having personally driven two aliens from Washington, D.C. to Detroit, Michigan. A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled.

In announcing the guilty plea, U.S. Attorney Wainstein, Acting Assistant Attorney General Richter and ICE Deputy Assistant Secretary Clark commended the extraterritorial investigation led by Special Agents of the Washington, D.C field office, ICE Headquarters, and assisted by others from the Detroit ICE Office. The State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service also assisted with the investigation.

They also commended Assistant United States Attorney Bruce R. Hegyi of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Columbia, and Trail Attorneys Jim U. Oliver, Jr. and Judith O’Sullivan of the Domestic Security Section of the Criminal Division at the U.S. Department of Justice, who are prosecuting the cases.

"U.S. Ports Begin New Catastrophic Terrorist Attack Drills"
Global Security Newswire ^ | August 25th 2005 | Joe Fiorill

Posted on 08/25/2005 1:26:52 PM PDT by ExSoldier

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON — U.S. ports are preparing for catastrophic terrorism in a major new program of security drills that began last week in the San Francisco Bay area and continues next week in Baltimore (see GSN, Aug. 11).


The federal Port Security Training Exercises Program (PortSTEP) is to bring together government and private-sector officials responsible for maritime transportation and commerce, emergency response and land transit in 40 port districts around the United States. Officials participate in fictitious incident scenarios intended to reflect the terrorist threat environment.


“Everyone was really, really engaged because the scenarios were very realistic” in the San Francisco Bay exercises, Universal Systems and Technology Inc. Vice President for Homeland Security David Holmes said yesterday.


The company, known as Unitech, was the lead contractor for last week’s exercises and will fill that role for most of the exercises scheduled around the country through September 2007. The U.S. Coast Guard and Transportation Security Administration are administering the program.


Holmes would not specifically say whether weapons of mass destruction figured in the San Francisco Bay scenarios."
