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.

This is a long and very good report on terrorists and the
internet, note the code that Atta used in the clip below:

Planning and Coordination

Terrorists use the Internet not only to learn how to build bombs but also to plan
and coordinate specific attacks. Al Qaeda operatives relied heavily on the Internet
in planning and coordinating the September 11 attacks. Thousands of encrypted
messages that had been posted in a password-protected area of a website were
found by federal officials on the computer of arrested al Qaeda terrorist Abu
Zubaydah, who reportedly masterminded the September 11 attacks. The first
messages found on Zubaydah's computer were dated May 2001 and the last were
sent on September 9, 2001. The frequency of the messages was highest in August
2001. To preserve their anonymity, the al Qaeda terrorists used the Internet in
public places and sent messages via public e-mail. Some of the September 11
hijackers communicated using free web-based e-mail accounts.

Hamas activists in the Middle East, for example, use chat rooms to plan operations
and operatives exchange e-mail to coordinate actions across Gaza, the West Bank,
Lebanon, and Israel. Instructions in the form of maps, photographs, directions, and
technical details of how to use explosives are often disguised by means of
steganography, which involves hiding messages inside graphic files. Sometimes,
however, instructions are delivered concealed in only the simplest of codes.
Mohammed Atta's final message to the other eighteen terrorists who carried out
the attacks of 9/11 is reported to have read: "The semester begins in three more
weeks. We've obtained 19 confirmations for studies in the faculty of law, the faculty
of urban planning, the faculty of fine arts, and the faculty of engineering." (The
reference to the various faculties was apparently the code for the buildings
targeted in the attacks.)

Interesting 2001 article on the France Counterterrorism agent, about the sleeper cells of al-Qaeda in France and the world.

My guess is it is these sleeper agents that are directing the France riots.

Note that he sidestepped the question on Iraq.

[nw_arizona_granny]

You kids, have made me smile and give thanks for your friendship.

Can you see the blush and smile you all have put on my face.

Special prayers for all of you, to be safe and continue to serve God as He directs you.

Scott knew the Charles Stanley, said he was a favorite of his.....

Hugs and tahnks to my friends.

A Threat Matrix gathering is a great idea. I will offer my home, my cooking, and my hospitality to anyone who would like to attend. And I will even give Granny some of my frequent flyer miles to attend the party in her honor.

Any takers?

Fabulous idea RR.

Maybe after winter. I have 4 wheel drive but the rest of the car isn't so reliable. :)

Kyla can come to my place and we will drive up. It's pretty much a straight shot from where I am now. ;) [maybe I can borrow the Hummer]

Meanwhile, we can have a virtual potluck tomorrow.

Accused al Qaeda supporter testifies in New York

By Christine Kearney | November 17, 2005

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Pakistani accused of supporting an al Qaeda plot to attack the United States testified at his trial on Thursday that he knew of no such scheme and was forced into a false confession by FBI agents.

Uzair Paracha, 25, is accused of agreeing to smuggle travel documents and pose as another man, purported al Qaeda member Majid Khan, who prosecutors believe was planning to blow up gas stations in America.

Paracha told jurors in Manhattan federal court that he eventually confessed to FBI agents that he helped Khan during three days of questioning in FBI offices and Manhattan hotel rooms in March 2003.

"I was scared, and I wanted to go home. Every time I told them the truth, they told me I was lying," Paracha said. "So I told them what I thought they wanted to hear."

Paracha, who said he was strip searched and told he would be arrested if he requested a lawyer, said he agreed to help Khan with his travel documents "as a fellow Pakistani Muslim" and did not know he was a member of al Qaeda, which masterminded the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.

"I am not a supporter of taking innocent lives," said Paracha, who if convicted faces a maximum of 15 years in prison on each of the five counts he faces, including document fraud and supporting al Qaeda.

"The truth is I did not know these people were al Qaeda," he testified. "The truth is if I knew that, I would not have agreed to help them."

Prosecutors allege Paracha attended a series of meetings in Pakistan in 2003 with his father Saifullah Paracha and al Qaeda members Khan and Ammar al-Baluchi and agreed to mail travel documents to Khan in Pakistan, knowing he was planning to carry out an attack.

Both Khan and al-Baluchi are being held in U.S. custody in undisclosed locations, and Saifullah Paracha has been held for two years in the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Sworn statements made to U.S. authorities by Khan and al-Baluchi read aloud in court on Thursday said neither Paracha nor his father knew either of the men was an al Qaeda member or knew of a chemical attack plot.

Khan said in the statement he gave Paracha only a 5 to 10 percent "recruitment suitability assessment" because "Uzair Paracha has no extremist views and was not really a practicing Muslim."

Under cross examination by prosecutor Karl Metzner, Paracha admitted that during the FBI questioning he was granted sleep and food.

Also under cross examination, Paracha testified that he told FBI agents on the third day of questioning he wanted to help Khan as a favor to al Qaeda.

Paracha's trial began on November 9.

Your article on Parcha, shows that the al Qaeda are real
pros at telling a lie.......

I found several old reports today on the threats that we expected 2002 and 2003. To me they can still be expected.
