Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

Thread Thirty-Two (Index)

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!

What's become of bin Laden since he gave us all the slip?
Full Story

Some think he is dead, others that he is hiding because he is scared of being killed.

Whatever the reason for the strange disappearance of Osama bin Laden, not seen alive since his last mocking video statement a year ago, he is no longer the face of the global "jihad" against the West.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi { TM 25,TM 27 }, the Jordanian responsible for some of the worst atrocities in Iraq, has become the hero of the hour on militant Islamist websites.

"The next al-Qaeda soldier", as the analysis is titled. "Al-Qaeda's new soldiers were born in Europe of European and Christian parents. They studied in your schools. They prayed in your churches and attended Sunday mass. They drank alcohol, ate pork and oppressed Muslims, but al-Qaeda has embraced them so they have converted to Islam in secret and absorbed the philosophy of al-Qaeda and swore to take up arms after their brothers," the message explains.

Yes, I would agree that the new al Qaeda soldier is a democrat.

Jim Bohanon interviewed an author of a new book last night,
"Insurgent Iraq", the authors name sounded as tho it was,
Loretta Neopontle.

She answered his questions with what appeared to be the truths and could do so at once, so that she knew the subject well. She had an accent, but I do not know what it was.

One of the things she said was "France is known as a hot bed of al Qaeda recruiting in its prisons".

One might think that the same training was done in the France prisons, as was done in New Orleans.

Iran says bombers linked to Britain
10/11/2005 - 19:12:02

Iran said today that investigations have proved Britain’s ties to suspects in bombings in southern Iran over the past few months, indicating for the first time that it has evidence linking London to the unrest.

Iranian officials have previously said the explosions that hit Ahvaz city were guided from abroad – suggesting a British role – and said that detained suspects had confessed to having foreign ties.

The accusations follow recent bitter exchanges between Tehran and London, with Britain claiming Iran has given Iraqi insurgents explosives technology to bomb British soldiers and Iran accusing Britain of provoking unrest among the country’s Arab minority.

Both countries have denied the respective claims.

Saddam crime catalog sent to Iran F.Ministry

LONDON, November 10 (IranMania) - Iran's Public Prosecutor?s Office has compiled a six-volume report listing 121 cases of chemical bombardments by the Iraqi regime of ousted dictator Saddam Hussein against Iranian soldiers and civilians.
http://www.iranmania.com/News/ArticleView/Default.asp?NewsCode=37610&NewsKind=Current%20Affairs

[nw_arizona_granny]

Does all this fact finding by Iran, mean that they will set off a nuclear bomb and then bring out the proof of how they had the right of pay back?

Interesting thought that the British might have paid them back for all the attacks.

I am constantly amazed at the volume of weapons that are being found in Iraq.

I am sure this is of great interest to everyone here:

'Mother ship' behind pirate raids
BBC Online (UK) ^ | 11/11/2005 | Unattributed

Posted on 11/11/2005 8:45:41 AM PST by 1066AD

'Mother ship' behind pirate raids Pirate attacks off Somalia's coast are
being organised from command vessels, or "mother ships", the
International Maritime Bureau (IMB) has said. It says speedboats are
being launched from ships that prowl the routes of the Indian Ocean,
searching for targets.

Last week, a luxury cruise liner off Somalia's coast was attacked by
pirates with rocket-propelled grenades.

The IMB says pirates are still holding seven ships and their crews,
seized in the world's most dangerous waters.

Terrorism: A Threat on D.C.?

Nov. 14, 2005 issue - Having been burned by false alarms in Baltimore and New York, federal and local authorities
last week played down intel that a jihadist network with connections in London and Bosnia might have been plotting
to attack D.C. landmarks. Scotland Yard announced late last week that two London-area suspects had been
charged with terror-related counts, including possession of computer images showing how to make car bombs and
"martyrdom operations vests." One suspect, Younis Tsouli, was also charged with possessing computer pics showing
"a number of places" in Washington, D.C. (A third suspect faces terror-funding charges.) Counterterrorism officials
in the United States and Britain, who asked for anonymity because the investigation is continuing, told NEWSWEEK
that evidence suggests the plotters may have been targeting the White House and Capitol complex using
homemade bombs. According to the officials, the British suspects are believed to have been in e-mail contact, via
Hotmail accounts, with a suspected jihadist recruiter who used the Internet nom de guerre Maximus. According to
the officials, Maximus was initially based in Sweden and moved to Sarajevo, where investigators believe he helped
run a network recruiting European youth to go to Iraq. Investigators believe the network engaged in credit-card
fraud to raise funds.

Bali bombers said they would go to heaven in video message

JAKARTA (AFP) - Indonesian police said they had found a video message from the three Bali bombers defending their
attacks which killed 20 people last month and saying they would go to heaven.

"The video contains the confession of the three suicide bombers explaining why they were prepared to carry out
the suicide bombings," Indonesia's National Police Chief General Sutanto said on Friday.

"They said their action was for a noble cause and they would go to heaven," Sutanto told a press conference after
a cabinet meeting.

The video, which has not been publicly released, was found at the hideout of fugitive Malaysian terror suspect
Noordin Mohammad Top in the Central Java city of Semarang on Wednesday after the arrest of an alleged
accomplice, police said.

Noordin is one of Asia's most wanted terrorist suspects.

The discovery of the video came just hours before police raided a house in neighboring East Java province and killed
Noordin's colleague and compatriot, bombmaker Azahari Husin, another most-wanted militant.

Azahari's death would deal serious blow to terrorists: analysts

JAKARTA, Indonesia - The death of Azahari Husin, a terrorist at the top of police most-wanted lists across
Southeast Asia, would deal a serious but not fatal blow to terror networks in the region, analysts said.

Fugitive bomb expert Azahari was believed to be among three terror suspects who blew themselves up Wednesday
after police encircled a modest house in the East Java hills resort town of Batu and demanded they surrender.

The bodies of the three men remained in the explosives-laden house as bomb squad police prepared to enter
Thursday.

Parliamentary commission member Djoko Susilo, who visited the site on Wednesday, said he was "95 percent"
certain that Azahari, thought to be a key member of the Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) network, was now
dead.

"I think this dealt a serious blow to the terror network here and in the region, although not a fatal one," said Susilo,
whose commission deals with justice, human rights and security affairs.

In Indonesia alone, JI has reportedly staged more than 50 bombings or attempted bombings since April 1999,
according to the Brussels-based International Crisis Group.

Susilo said Azahari was believed to have been actively recruiting and training new bombers for three years.
