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 - Daily Terrorism Threat
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.

Thanks Gucho.
And here's the most important part of the article, in my opinion:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/11/01/wladen01.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/11/01/ixworld.html

TELEGRAPH.CO.UK: "WHAT'S BECOME OF BIN LADEN SINCE HE GAVE US ALL THE SLIP?"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The problem for western counter-terrorist officials is that regardless of what happens to bin Laden, Zawahiri or Zarqawi, it may now be impossible to eradicate their ideology.

"The virus of al-Qa'eda is already out there in the population," said one security source.

Or, as bin Laden once put it:"This will be nothing to do with the poor slave bin Laden, whether dead or alive. With God's grace, the awakening has begun.""

The Corleone Solution
A lesson in public relations

First, the Bush Administration has never appointed a Carville-Begalla-Davis Republican gadfly to pump the nasty info a President can never say himself. Somebody has to be the Luco Brazi, a “Repubrazi,” if you will, sent to do the dirty work. The moment Joe Wilson loudly proclaimed that Vice President Dick Cheney sent him to Niger on a mission to find the “truth” about Hussein’s Uranium efforts, Repubrazi would immediately complain loudly that Wilson is a left-wing shill, trustworthy as Ted Kennedy, and point out Wilson was lying. He should predict Wilson’s report would be bogus, with little facts and would claim there was no Uranium connection. And every appearance, he would remind us that tepidly friendly French, British and United Nations intelligence warned otherwise.

Restructuring the people, yep, it might be interesting.

Snippet: "Pakistan's Lower House of Parliament on Tuesday passed unanimously a resolution imposing a compulsory three-month rescue and relief training for youth in the face of possible threats of natural disaster and terrorism.

The resolution, tabled by treasury lawmaker Asiya Azeem, also provided that besides necessary training, the civil defence institution must be revived."

Al-Jazeera's new name for 'martyrs'

Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin is reporting that Al-Jazeera, the Arab news service growing by leaps and bounds worldwide and spreading its reach into the western world, has a new name for suicide bombings - "Paradise Operations."

An accredited Arabic-language translator spied the new phrase in the current issue of the Arabic-language news site.

In a story about the Russian foreign minister criticizing the Palestinian Authority for failing to combat terrorist movements, a paragraph reads: "Ariel Sharon ordered the defense minister Shaul Mofaz previously to undertake wide attacks on the movement of the Islamic Jihad, whose
military wing yesterday undertook (||am-ma-li-a al cha-deer-ra) operations of paradise, which killed five Israelis and injured tens of Israelis – or whoever was standing around."

I believe they also have the backing of Chavez, in our own hemisphere, and by extension, Castro.

IIRC, only slightly. LA, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, DC, and NYC are the ones that jumped out at me.


I've been okay. Things may be getting ready to change with my employment situation, but the only constant is change. What will happen will happen. Day at a time here.

That's what they said when the stuff was discovered in DC during that antiwar rally a couple of months ago.

If it's an agricultial bacterium, how come it's turning up in cities far from it's natural source? Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I don't believe in coincidence.

Watch your six Budd.

500,000 in designer perfume stolen

DESIGNER perfume worth thousands of dollars has been stolen during two ram-raid attacks on a Sydney warehouse.

Three men forced a security guard out of his car before using it ram the door of the warehouse at Camellia, in Sydney's west, about 4.30am (AEDT) today.

The balaclava-clad thieves threatened the guard with a steel bar before loading three crates of perfume into a second car, police said.

The raid comes just a day after a truck was driven into the side of the same warehouse, damaging a roller door.

Five crates of perfume, worth an estimated $500,000 were stolen.

They include brands such as Dolce and Gabana, Armani and Paris Hilton's new fragrance.

Looks as if they are doing test runs again.

If it works on the Dutch, then it will work any place.

Is there anything they haven't thought of to try?

I am attempting to understand what I am hearing on the radio, the Ed Schultz show, I don't like him, but his station here, has the only hourly news.

It appears that the Democrats have called the Congress into a Closed session, to discover if President Bush faked the WMD in Iraq, as an excuse to go to war in Iraq.

He actually had 'guests' on who swore that the weapons in
Iraq today are not from Iran and other area's, they are all the Iraq people and weapons.............

Don't they ever read the foreign papers?

"False bomb alarm on train disrupts Amsterdam traffic"
The Associated Press, Nov. 1, 2005

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Two men wearing traditional Islamic clothes were arrested on a train bound from Frankfurt to Amsterdam Tuesday after a scare over a suspicious package, police said.

The men were arrested after the train came to an emergency stop near Amsterdam's central station in the late afternoon, but the package was harmless, Amsterdam police spokesman Gerard Vrooland said.

Passengers had alerted police after seeing the two-Dutch speaking men pacing the car and visiting the bathroom together.

"They were acting strangely, and they made people nervous by the way they behaved, coming and going to the bathroom together and carrying a large backpack," Vrooland said."

ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "They were released after interrogation, Vrooland said."
