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.

BOSNIA: Interview: Al-Qaeda now seeking young hearts and minds
AKI ^ | 2005 Aug 26

Posted on 08/29/2005 2:59:52 AM PDT by Wiz

Belgrade, 26 August (AKI) - The al-Qaeda terror network is active in Bosnia and the wider Balkans region, but is changing tactics and primarily fighting for the hearts and minds of the local Muslim population, according to a leading Serbian terrorism expert, Darko Trifunovic, a professor at Belgrade University's civil defence faculty. Training is now being conducted in small groups in elementary schools and sports halls, in the guise of social and sports activities, according to Trifunovic.

“The greatest success of al-Qaeda in Bosnia is that it has managed to radicalise the local Muslim population and has even recruited several Bosnian youths to fight in Iraq, Chechnya and Afghanistan,” Trifunovic told Adnkronos International (AKI) in an interview.

Commenting on recent media reports that al-Qaeda operated secret training camps in Bosnia, Trifunovic, who is also a Serbia and Montenegro researcher for the Washington based Institute for International Strategic Studies (ISS), said that the impact of al-Qaeda's activities in Bosnia has still to be felt.

A report in the Italian Corriere della Sera daily on Thursday seems to lend support to Trifunovic's claim that Islamic extremists are operating in the Balkans. The paper disclosed a recent intelligence operation conducted in the Balkans by Italian secret services in collaboration with Bosnian and Croatian police that uncovered a Wahabi Islamist terror cell based in the eastern Bosnian village of Gornja Maoca, which was apparently plotting terror attacks in Italy. The Wahabi school of thought, the strictest of Sunni Islam, is espoused by al-Qaeda's leader Osama bin Laden.

HIGHLIGHTING PAKISTAN <<<<

That is interesting......

But why do it for Pakistan and not the other countries?

[nw_arizona_granny]

"The fear is we'll see these disparate, relatively inexperienced groups
around Europe hook up with Afghan-trained terror cells, all under the
influence of Zarqawi," independent French terrorism expert Roland
Jacquard told Time. <<<<

Strange that he does not mention America.

I would guess the inexperienced groups are the MS 13 type gangs and the
anachrists, nazi groups, etc.

Wonder if joining these groups together has anything to do with the report that OBL is going to come and join the fight?

Thank you for the truck accident report.

Watching those poor people - some with children - waiting in line to get into the Superdome, just makes me want to cry. Godspeed everyone.

Prayers for them all.

Just heard on FOX that the Superdome roof is leaking.
