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.

~~~"Who's watching me? Who's after me?"~~~~

And the inevitable they'll also be watching us where we live or park, because they need the funds for the next fix.

We agree on music.

The Sheriff was concerned, he said that when one of the gang groups played in Vegas, it brought in hundreds of gang members and that some of the followers are real bad dudes.

It upset some of the callers, that he had gone directly to the Casino, and asked for the groups to not be hired again.

Sometimes, I think some people do not have brains in their heads.

Las Vegas has freeway shootings now, plus about a shooting a day, some days more, these are the drive by, gang type shootings.

In the old days, the mob killed a few, but at least they took them out to the desert and buried them or threw them down a mine shaft.

My son was telling me that the gangs are now in Laughlin and Bullhead City, 25 miles from me.

[Cindy]

That's true, so we'll be watching out for them -- our vision is clearer.

[SlowBoat407]

Tempted as I am to stay on all night, I need to get some sleep. I will see you all tomorrow.

[Cindy]

Good night SlowBoat407.
Rest well.

Tancredo was there as were other important people, the liberals fought hard to keep the group from meeting and having the speakers, it took a court case to get it to go.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN THE EVENT OF A TERRORIST ATTACK

Terrorists typically want to frighten a population by inflicting mass injuries. By educating ourselves we give ourselves the ability to minimize the number of injuries which might result in the event of an attack, thereby defeating the terrorists goal. Accordingly, the more prepared we are, individually and as a country, to take immediate mitigating action in the event of an attack or other emergency, the more secure we are as a country.

The FBI asks everyone to remain alert in an effort to prevent attacks. Be aware of your surroundings. If you see something unusual, evaluate it. After evaluating for a short time, if you cannot determine if a threat exists or if you think a threat may exist, notify law enforcement. By doing so you will be taking part in the nationwide neighborhood watch program.

The FBI does not recommend private citizens attempt to use gas masks. Without proper training gas masks can be dangerous and cause death. There are a number of recorded cases in which gas masks were used improperly and children died from suffocation as a result.

The following guidelines are based on protocols developed jointly by Special Agents of the Los Angeles FBI office and the Los Angeles County Health Department. These guidelines are not provided because of any known terrorist threat. They are provided to educate you so, if in the event of a terrorist attack, you will be better prepared to react in a manner which will minimize injuries. These guidelines will also help you in the event of an emergency which does not involve terrorism.

If you are exposed to an unknown hazardous chemical liquid you should:

1. Move away from the liquid.

2. Take cover if a liquid is falling on you, or use clothing to protect your skin from contact with the liquid.

3. If you get some of the liquid on you: once you are no longer in contact with the source of the liquid, take your clothing off and immediately wash with soap and cool water. First, wash body parts which were not covered with clothing, and then wash your entire body. If soap is not available wash with cool water.

4. Get a medical evaluation as soon as possible.

5. Call 911 as soon as possible.

If you are exposed to an unknown hazardous chemical gas you should:

1. Move away from the gas which may be in the form of a cloud.

2a. If you are outside, cover your nose and mouth with a folded cloth, breathe through the cloth, and continue to move away from the gas.

2b. If you are in a vehicle, roll up the windows, close all roof openings, and close the ventilation system so external air does not enter, and turn the ventilation system "off". Also, cover your nose and mouth with a folded cloth and breathe through the cloth as you drive away from the gas.

2c. If you are at home, stay in the house, close the windows and doors, and turn the ventilation system "off". You may also want to breathe through a folded cloth until the threat has passed.

3. Call 911 as soon as possible.

4. Monitor radio or television stations for official information regarding the threat. "On scene" police and fire officials may provide information regarding the status of the threat.

5. Once the threat has passed, get a medical evaluation as soon as possible.

If you believe you are being exposed, or that you have been exposed, to a biological hazard you should:

1. Move away from the material.

2. Cover your nose and mouth with a folded cloth and breathe through the cloth.

3. Get a medical evaluation as soon as possible.

4. Call 911 as soon as possible.

If you are in the area of an explosion you should:

1. Take cover behind a substantial object to decrease the chance of being hit by flying debris. Make sure to stay clear of glass windows which may be above you, since they could become a source of dangerous secondary debris. If cover is not available lay flat on the ground.

2. Try to stay away from vehicles in the immediate area of the blast. Terrorists have been known to detonate secondary explosions in vehicles in order to increase the number of injuries.

3. As soon as debris has stopped falling move away from the location of the blast.

4. Get a medical evaluation from emergency responders.

5. If you witnessed the blast tell law enforcement what you saw.


If you believe you have been exposed to radiological material from a "dirty bomb" you should follow the guidelines regarding an explosion, and:

1. As soon as debris has stopped falling move away from the area of the blast and stay away from the debris cloud. A debris cloud could contain radioactive particles.

2. If you cannot avoid the debris cloud, use clothing to cover your skin. Clothing will give you some protection from particles.

3. Cover your nose and mouth with a folded cloth, breathe through the cloth and exit the cloud as soon as possible.

4. Once you are out of the debris cloud and a safe distance from the initial explosion remove your clothing, because it may have trapped radioactive particle.

5. Then, first wash body parts which were not covered with clothing, and then wash your entire body with soap and cool water. If soap is not available wash your entire body with cool water.

6. Get a medical evaluation from emergency responders.

7. If you witnessed the blast tell law enforcement what you saw.

8. If a dirty bomb were to explode, most injuries would result from the initial explosion and not from contamination of radioactive material. This is because it is very difficult to disperse radiological material, with a bomb, in amounts sufficient to cause a significant health impact. For those who take proper immediate steps to protect themselves after such an explosion, the chance of a significant health impact is diminished even further.

Police and firefighters are commonly referred to as "first responders" because they are often first to arrive on scene after the onset of an emergency. By virtue of being at the scene when an emergency occurs "first responders" should be those private citizens at the scene who may have already suffered injury or may suffer injury if they do not take the proper immediate action. By knowing some simple things you can do if you are involved in an emergency, and by taking immediate action, you "the private citizen" become a "first responder."

In most cases, following the above guidelines could greatly diminish, if not eliminate, injuries which could result from a chemical, biological, explosive or radiological event regardless of whether the event is the result of an accident or terrorism.

In many cases you will be at greater risk of injury in a rush to evacuate than you will be from an attack itself. Accordingly, in any emergency, try to stay calm, keep those around you calm and follow the appropriate steps noted above.

Finally, statistics show you are far more likely to be injured in an automobile accident than in a terrorist attack, so, drive safely.

After seeing your post regarding that Jill is updating her site again...I went and took a look. There is a posting of an email she recieved back in July. It is an EOM type warning about An American Hiroshima comming within 60 days. It is not actualy signed by EOM. I don't take these very seriously anymore, but the timming is interesting.

[BurbankKarl]

How come I think those guys they busted doing armed robberies had some dates circled and other items like this in their apartment. They were robbing gas stations...and it was the LA Joint Terrorism Task Force that took them into custody, not the Torrance PD for the armed robberies. Never heard a word since those arrests, either from the guy's lawyer or the Feds.

"Helicopter crash kills crop-duster"
By Charles F. Bostwick, Staff Writer



ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Killed was pilot Rick Manning, 49, of Bakersfield. The helicopter was owned by Delano-based San Joaquin Helicopters. Helicopter company employees at the scene said they were told not to talk about the crash.

The Federal Aviation Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board and sheriff's detectives were investigating the crash. What caused it was not immediately known.

"It takes weeks, if not months, to figure out the cause," Walker said."

Bomb Explosion at LAX on August 6, 1974

ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE

LOS ANGELES (UPI)--The Los Angeles International Airport was blasted Tuesday by the most destructive bomb ever to hit a U.S. air terminal -- hurling bodies, baggage,
spears of glass and chunks of concrete through a passenger waiting area.

It was still a mystery today who planted the bomb, and why.
Two skycaps died, blown apart with such force that the first investigators on the scene
thought there were four or five dead, and 36 others were injured, mostly passengers
waiting to board flights for Hawaii and the Orient. Seventeen were hospitalized one in
critical condition and two in serious condition. Michael Strong of the police airport detail
said he was about 100 yards away when "a tremendous blast shook the area and it was
a scene of utter devastation. People were down on the floor crying for help. Bodies were
blown all over the lobby." "All I could see was blood. There was blood everywhere,"
said skycap Gary Cartwright. Police and federal agents tried to determine the origin of
the blast. Investigators said the force indicated an explosive charge equal to about eight
pounds of dynamite. Airport General Manage Clifton Moore said it was the most
destructive bomb ever detonated at an American aid terminal.
About 300 persons were in the area when the bomb went off in a section of the
overseas terminal about 20 feet from the Pan American World Airways check-in
counter. Investigators believed the bomb was left in one of the coin operated public
lockers; perhaps by someone who intended to eventually carry it aboard a plane.
However, a witness said he saw the explosion come from a cardboard box on the floor
next to the gift shop, John Van Den Heever, 26, told reporters he was standing 25 feet
from the box and saw it erupted. His girlfriend, Ruth Converse, 17, was among the
injured. She was holding a friend, Angela Thompson, 11, on her lap and the younger girl
was blown to the floor. The blast tore out sections of the concrete wall behind the
lockers, hurled some of the lockers through the lobby, ripped into the ceiling shredded
baggage and blew out the glass from the terminal. "Right afterward, the whole terminal
was silent. Then a few minutes later, people started screaming and looking for their
friends," said passenger Barbara McLock.
The dead were identified as Harper Glass, 64, of Inglewood, Calif., and Leonard Hsu,
46,of Lomita, Calif. Glass, who was carrying a luggage for a small traveling circus on its
way to Honolulu, and Hsu were right in front of the explosion "and blown apart," a Fire
Department paramedic said. The Rev. Patrick Shaughnessy, pastor of the Evangelical
Northwest Missionary Church in Phoenix, on his way to a month-long preaching tour in
Korea, was critically injured: both of his legs were badly mangled. William Sullivan,
head of the Los Angeles FBI office, said whoever left the bomb there "may have wanted
to take it on a plane. At this point in the terminal, you are not required to go through
security yet, and he probably placed it here because he couldn't go out to the airplane
with it."

Good night MamaDearest.
Sleep well.
Tomorrow's another day.

[nw_arizona_granny]

LOL

Thanks for reading the police blotter for me.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Thanks, good job of explaining hazardous materials.

Sounds as tho, it would make a good target, easy to reach and sure would scare a lot of people.

If the folks are just going back home, they were out for 2 or 3 days. That would be a hardship for me.

[Cindy]

That's interesting.
Thanks Karl.
