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.

>> Jund al-Sham calls for "our cells in America to start battles in the streets." <<

Excuse my language:
If these bastards want a fight they're going to get one. I'd be MORE than happy to oblige! Maybe I'll get a a chance to kill some of these vermin without enlisting (although that would be my first choice).

They still think they're dealing with our pantywaist leaders. They know NOTHING about the common American, but they're gonna learn.

The Pinal County article is a daily list of police reports.

I'm reading through them, but had to share this one from July 3rd:


• A woman reported at 8:11 a.m. that someone broke her window in the 800 block of East Arizona Street. She requested that a deputy come out and glue it back.

[Velveeta]

Not a fun way to live.
Sweating and all....

[nw_arizona_granny]

Wasn't the plant in Romulus also a Hazardous Waste Disposal plant?

I notice the one in Ohio is, I think there were a couple more.......

Could they have the right stuff there for making people sick while it is exploding?

Probably unrelated to terrorism, but here's another example of a major highway being shut down due to a freak accident.

No, it sure isn't.

Off topic...

Dopers are even more paranoid.
They really sweat...wondering, wondering,
"Who's watching me? Who's after me?"

No way to live.

[nw_arizona_granny]

95 degrees and there i stood thinking, oohhhh___snow.

We almost always have hail, before snow.

I have seen it in Texas in the summer.

But not that often here in the summer.

Kingman, 15 miles away had golf ball sized hail a week or two ago.

As Grandpa Ira was prone to say 35 years ago "every ____ time they shoot off a space ship, the weather goes wacky".

I thought it was just an old man talking, but guess what,
LOL, I think the same way today.

I assume that punching through the atmosphere might have some bearing.

Or maybe God was making ice for his Ice cream freezer and had a little left over and made a gift of it to the hot desert........

It did cool down a little.

I no longer garden, so didn't loose any plants.

But a half inch of ice does sparkle real pretty.

[Velveeta]

Yes, they're both hazardous waste plants.

They definitely have the right stuff for making people sick.

[SlowBoat407]

"There's all sorts of fun stuff that could be kept there, mostly for burning in high-temp incinerators, but some that are neutralized with chemicals before burying in concrete bunkers.

An explosion and fire could conceivably set off a wicked cocktail, but if the fire burns hot enough, it would have most of the same effect as the incinerator itself. Only difference is the scrubbers and the height of the stack would eliminate some pollutants and get others far enough off of the ground to be caught in upper air, dissipated, and carried away.

Typical chemicals for disposal include solvents, fuels and oils, resins and hardeners for plastics, formaldehyde, acids, and cleaners. They are packaged in bins filled with absorbent material such as vermiculite in case the inner containers leak. These are collected by the disposal company trucks and shipped to the facility, where they are (supposedly) separated by material for disposal.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


TALIBAN LEADER KILLED IN FIGHTING NEAR WAZIKWA

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – U.S. Forces confirmed that Taliban leader Qari Amadullah was killed during heavy fighting near the city of Wazikwa in Eastern Afghanistan August 9.

Amadullah was believed to have commanded up to fifty Taliban fighters in the region and was thought to be in possession of a number of weapon systems to include rockets and rocket propelled grenades.

“Killing this individual will significantly disrupt Taliban operations in the region,” said Brig. Gen James G. Champion, Combined Joint Task Force-76 Deputy Commanding General. “We hope that with his death, Amadullah’s forces are able to find the courage to break with the Taliban organization and begin to reconcile with the government of Afghanistan in their efforts to rebuild this war torn nation.”

Amadullah was killed during a firefight with Afghan National Army soldiers and Paratroopers assigned to the 1st battalion, 508th (Airborne) Infantry Regiment. Five other militants were killed and three U.S. service members were wounded. Afghan and U.S. forces were conducting operations in the area designed to kill or capture Taliban leaders.

There were similar happenings that we discussed here on TM last year.

The ones from last year seemed to all hit the highways on the east coast.

[Velveeta]

I've heard that as well.

Iraqi Unit Searches Uncover Weapons Cache, IEDS

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11, 2005 – Iraqi military units uncovered a weapons cache and roadside bombs, and detained several suspects Aug. 9 and 10, according to multinational force reports.
Iraqi soldiers were led to a weapons cache in Fallujah while on a dismounted security patrol Aug. 10.

Soldiers with 3rd Battalion, 4th Brigade, 1st Iraqi Intervention Force, located followed instructions to the cache from a local Iraqi. The cache consisted of four rocket-propelled grenade launchers, three machine guns, 22 RPG rounds, one rocket, two rifle grenades, RPG fin assemblies, one bag of ammunition, one can of .303 ball/tracer mix, one can of armor piercing/tracer mix, one timing device and one battery.

They detained three suspected insurgents.

While conducting a security patrol in the Balad area, Iraqi soldiers discovered an improvised explosive device under a clothing stand Aug. 10.

Soldiers with 2nd Brigade, 4th Iraqi Army Division, noticed something unusual beneath a clothing stand that turned out to be an Iraqi claymore mine with two white wires connected to both sides.

The stand's owner was detained and transported to a secure facility for questioning. An explosive ordnance disposal team destroyed the claymore with a controlled blast.

Separate operations by Iraqi security forces led to the discovery of several IEDs throughout the country Aug 9.

Near Raway, two 130 mm artillery rounds and three 152 mm artillery rounds were discovered daisy-chained together and placed around a building.

Also, Iraqi explosive ordnance disposal teams disarmed a 155 mm artillery shell in Baqubah and another more complex IED in Tikrit that Iraqi police said was rigged for remote detonation. Local citizens in the city of Hit gave Iraqi soldiers the location of an IED that they said three anti-Iraq force operatives had planted earlier in the day.

No injuries or damages were reported during the operations.

In other news, the Iraqi Coast Guard had a busy and successful month of operations in July, according to their monthly operational reporting to the Ministry of Interior.

According to the report, the Iraqi Coast Guard searched 183 barges and vessels in July, with 11 of these searches resulting in the discovery of illegal documentation. In addition, 60 tons of illegal fuel were confiscated along with AK-47 automatic rifles, ammunition and fuel pumps. Six people were detained during the operations.

All paperwork and legal processes have been transferred to the Iraqi Customs Police for adjudication.

eXactly.

[nw_arizona_granny]

On that google page, there were a couple that made me think they should say something.

I did not realize that ne west, said newest, until I typed it in the post.

Maybe it was because they were english words on a page of arabian that I spotted them.

[MamaDearest]

We're ready here as well. Every trip into town we stock up on more items that will make living in a worst-case-scenario easier. Last week we bought clotheline and duct tape and next week we will buy more air filter masks, bleach and a mega-package of various size band-aids. Little by little I'm sure we have more than most.

Now, about that Italian man???<<<<<<

Another of my nightmares, hired him to build steps into the mobile home, when I was out in the hills.

He built fine steps, perfect.

Then took all my tools with him when he left......
(along with a few other items, for building).

I never got them back.
