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.

Home grown Islamists may hit US: FBI chief
Full Story

WASHINGTON -- The United States could be attacked by "home grown" Islamist terror groups, the FBI's chief has warned.

FBI Director Robert Mueller told the London Financial Times newspaper in an interview published Thursday that the United States could face attacks from "home-grown terrorism" very similar to the July 7 bombings in London that killed 52 people and wounded another 700, Mueller said.

When asked if the United States could face such attacks from "home-grown groups", Mueller answered emphatically: "Absolutely, it could," the Financial Times said.

"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat."

And, finally American companies send the jobs to Mexicalli while the illegal Mexicans take jobs in New Orleans. That is just SO WRONG!! There goes another city to Mecha. Hmmmmm Mecha - Mecca what's the difference. We're being taken over one way or the other and the guys in charge have their eyes closed to the problem.

That was my point in posting those two links. We're sending jobs down to Mexico and the Mexicans are coming here to take our jobs.... Not all areas of this country are in a "boom" time. Lots of unemployed people would much rather be trained for a better job (carpentry / electrician / etc.).I suppose the unemployed craftsmen and desperate American workers willing to be training in any decent paying field got first dibs on those New Orleans jobs(sarcasm off).

US building boom causes shortage in skilled workers

The Islamic Bomb and Jihad against
Non-Muslims

Date Written : Dec 29, 2001
Date Modified : Dec 29, 2001

The "Dirty bomb" manufacturing plant of Al-Qaida.
In the first evidence that Osama bin Laden (OBL) had obtained
materials for a nuclear arsenal, Uranium has been found in an
Al-Qaida base in the tunnel complex outside Gandhar (Kandahar).
The cache included low-grade Uranium 238 and cyanide. Earlier
hundreds of jars, drums and metal cases in an underground labyrinth
at the desert compound were found when Arab and pakistani fighters
abandoned Gandhar.

To make a nuclear bomb one requires superior technological facilities
to turn Uranium-238 into a fissile device like the Hiroshima bomb. OBL
men lacked the specialised equipment for building such a weapon. But
a small so-called "dirty bomb" can be made out of this Uranium, if
wrapped around a conventional explosive. This small device is capable
of spreading radiation over a large area and can be easily transported
to carry out terrorist activities.

Who else can give the nuclear technology to Taliban, other than its
Al-Qaida network operating from the Pakistani soil?

US President Bush seems to have confirmed this, not in specific words,
but by blocking the assets of UTN. UTN, a non-governmental
organization was founded by Pakistani nuclear scientists that provided
information to Osama bin Laden and the Taliban about chemical,
biological, and nuclear weapons.
Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood, who was formerly the director for nuclear
power at the Pakistani Atomic Energy
Commission (PAEC) was the founder of UTN and one of the key
directors. Other two were Abdul Majeed, a former high- ranking
official at the PAEC and an expert in nuclear fuels; and S.M. Tufail, an
industrialist. The blocking of assets might have been the part of
Operation Green Quest (OGQ) launched on Oct 25, 2001.

Bashir-ud-Din Mahmood had discussed the infrastructure required for
a nuclear weapons programme and its effects with OBL and Mullah
Omar. The US fact sheet released on Dec 20, 2001 says "During 2001,
Mahmood met with Mullah Omar and with Usama bin Laden. During a
follow-up meeting, an associate of Usama bin Laden indicated he had
nuclear material and wanted to know how to use it to make a weapon.
Mahmood provided information about the infrastructure needed for a
nuclear weapons program and the effects of nuclear weapons."

The Islamic Bomb and Jihad against non-muslims

Mahmood had left the PAEC during the Nawaz Sharif government in
Pakistan. Mahmood was in strong opposition during the discussions
held on the signing of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). He
had advocated equipping Islamic countries with enriched Uranium and
plutonium , with a strong feeling that the Pakistani nuclear bombs
also belong to the Islamic world which can be used for Jihad against
the non-muslims.

Mahmood was also a director with Pakistan's Khushab Atomic Reactor
and was involved in the early days of Pakistan's uranium enrichment
program. The Khushab atomic plant now produces enough plutonium
for making at least two nuclear bombs a year. For his work at
Khushab, Mahmood received one of the prestigious awards in
Pakistan, the Sitar-e-Imtiaz.

After the Uranium being found in the hide-outs of Al-Qaida bases in
Gandhar, it is now clear that the Nuclear formula might have fallen
into the hands of the islamic terrorists. The world needs to realise the
dangers of this. The Bush administration had earlier asked Pakistani to
take Mahmood and Majeed into preventive custody. These two have
been detained and released at least twice. Maj. Gen. Rashid Qureshi
has on records admitted that the authorities were investigating links
between the Taliban and UTN. But along with the UTN, US needs to
pressurise the Musharraf government to expose the nexus between
the pro-taliban ISI and the Al-Qaida network.

On October 6, Musharraf as president, extended his own term as chief
of staff of the Pakistan army, the most powerful post in Pakistan. He
moved to consolidate his hold on the administration and the army. The
the most notable thing was that he removed or re-allocated key army
personnel known to be sympathetic to the Taliban, Al-Qaida and to
Osama bin Laden, who is wanted by the US dead or alive. more

The sequence of
a) Nuclear bomb specialists leaving PAEC and joining Al-Qaida
network.
b) September 11 attacks on WTC and the Pentagon
c) Re-shuffling of Pakistani Army Personnel and "premature
retirement" of ISI Chief on Oct 6
d) Detention of Pakistani Nuclear scientists for interrogation

and recent

e) evidence of "dirty bomb" (also called "poor man's nuke" )
manufacturing hide-outs in Gandhar,

prove the nexus between various members of Al-Qaida
network viz. ISI, Taliban and the hardliners in Pakistani
Military.

US needs to support Musharraf in his so-far unsuccessful attempts of
curbing the Jihadis in the ISI and the hardliners in pakistani military.
US should give an offer to Pakistan for securing the nuclear
installations of Pakistan under US control to protect them from falling
them into wrong hands. US is already establishing air bases in
Pakistan, starting with an air base in southwest Pakistan which will
serve as a "key U.S. facility" in the region. Jacobabad might have
been chosen as it is relatively close to Afghanistan, but also far from
Pakistan's nuclear weapons facilities in the far southwest.

The Musharraf government needs an urgent help!!! ... and the
world needs to support US for every step it takes in its war on
terrorism, the next phase of which needs to be on Pakistani soil.

Interesting read, on a Committee before the House of Rep. in Dec of 2001, covers Iraq WMD also, to me this reads the same as what WHO publishes daily on the worst disease outbreaks.

The Soviet Union's offensive biological weapons program was a big,
very huge, sophisticated, very powerful program. It was strictly a
military program, and I am talking just about the military program.
There were some other programs run by the KGB, or some other
entities, but the biggest one was the military program.

There were several major departments and directorates involved in
the research, development and manufacture of biological weapons.
Major agents involved in research and development were anthrax,
plague, tularemia, brucellosis, glanders melioidoses, viral agents like
smallpox, ebola, Marburg hemorrhagic fevers, some encephalitis, like
equine encephalitis and Japanese encephalitis, some other
hemorrhagic fevers, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, Argentinian
hemorrhagic fever, lassa fever and so on and so forth.

"Russians help Iran with missile threat to Europe"
Telegraph ^ | October 16, 2005 | Con Coughlin

Posted on 10/15/2005 5:35:47 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Former members of the Russian military have been secretly helping Iran to acquire technology needed to produce missiles capable of striking European capitals.

The Russians are acting as go-betweens with North Korea as part of a multi-million pound deal they negotiated between Teheran and Pyongyang in 2003. It has enabled Teheran to receive regular clandestine shipments of top secret missile technology, believed to be channelled through Russia.

Western intelligence officials believe that the technology will enable Iran to complete development of a missile with a range of 2,200 miles, capable of hitting much of Europe. It is designed to carry a 1.2-ton payload, sufficient for a basic nuclear device.

The revelation raises the stakes in the confrontation between Iran's Islamic regime and the West - led by the United States and European countries including Britain."

Interesting links, thanks for the ping!

I never did trust Putin...never will. Perhaps it's just my "growing up in the cold war" prejudices, but I will never trust an ex-KGB agent! The Russia/China war games thing got my suspicion up earlier this year. Now, Palestine? Seems Russia may be playing both sides of the field in the WOT.

BTW: I'm running into space restraints on my Comprehensive OU Summary post so I've updated my blog and made a separate entry for an updated list of OUBombing articles (most linked to FR). Here is the new entry for articles specifically related to OU: Link Listing for OU Bombing Articles

ALSO: I'm inquiring today if anyone would be interested in my developing a "suspicious package" ping list. I've got several google alerts set up for some phrases and due to the increased interest I thought it might be good to have a list separate from the OU/NormanBombing ping list that is being run by indcons. Freepmail me and let me know if you think this would be a good idea! If there is enough interest I will start one.
