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!

Threat Matrix: U.S. Terrorism
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.

wo Top Directors Leave Colombia's Secret Police as Scandal
Mounts
Posted on Friday, October 28, 2005 at 6:19am
The top two directors of Colombia's secret police were forced out this
week as the government investigated allegations that the agency was
mounting a money-making operation to sell intelligence and surveillance
equipment to right-wing death squads. The scandal at the agency, the
Administrative Department of Security, comes as human rights groups
and some legislators have exposed heightened paramilitary activity,
including infiltrations of Congress and the attorney general's office.

Thanks stillproud2befree.

Iran is a concern.
France is a little late in recognizing this, in my opinion.

While most Iraqi women live in fear of terrorists and criminals, one small
band of women has taken up arms and is prepared to fight back.
Employed by a private security company, the women ride in the front
passenger seat posing as ordinary housewives when the company's
drivers transport customers around the city in nondescript vehicles.

I agree regarding the Al Zarqawi letter.
I do not believe the letter is a forgery.

I went to sites of interests and of course,
the opinion there disagrees with mine.

French judge tells of alleged terror plot

10/28/2005, 12:34 p.m. ET
By JOHN LEICESTER
The Associated Press

PARIS (AP) — A suspected close associate of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has told investigators of a plot to shoot down planes in France with missiles, a French judicial official said Friday.

The man, a Jordanian like al-Zarqawi, was arrested in Jordan and questioned by police there following a request in December from France's leading anti-terrorist judge, Jean-Louis Bruguiere, the official said.

The Jordanian told his questioners of an Algerian he had contacts with in 2000, according to a copy of his testimony provided by police in Jordan to Bruguiere.

Under questioning, the suspect said the Algerian told him he had acquired two missiles from a Chechen, had transported them to Turkey and planned to smuggle them into France to shoot down planes, the official said, without identifying the suspect or the Algerian by name.

The Jordanian also claimed he persuaded the Algerian to renounce his plan, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of French laws limiting the release of information from judicial investigations. She said French officials do not know whether there is any truth to the Jordanian's claims.

The French newspaper Le Figaro identified the alleged al-Zarqawi associate as Adnan Muhammad Sadik, who uses the alias Abou Atiya, and said he was al-Zarqawi's representative in the Caucasus.

Terror laws will apply to animal rights lobby
Posted on Friday, October 28, 2005 at 7:05am
ANIMAL rights activists who glorify militant acts against economic targets
and laboratories are to face prosecution under terror laws aimed at
al-Qaeda supporters. The move, confirmed last night by Charles Clarke,
the Home Secretary, means that extremists convicted under the new
legislation could be jailed for seven years and suspects held without
charge for up to three months.
