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.

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.

Al-Zarqawi Threatens to Kill Jordan's King
AP ^ | 11/18/2005

Posted on 11/18/2005 9:50:47 AM PST by Rutles4Ever

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) - An audiotape purportedly from the head of
al-Qaida in Iraq Friday threatened to kill Jordan's King Abdullah II and
bomb more hotels and tourist sites.

The speaker on the tape, identified as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, also
said the group's suicide bombers did not intend to bomb a Jordanian
wedding party at an Amman hotel last week, killing about 30 people.

Al-Zarqawi said the bomber who detonated his explosives in the
Radisson SAS hotel on Nov. 9 was targeting a hall where he claimed
Israeli and American intelligence officials were meeting.

That bomb caused part of the roof to fall in the wedding hall.

Al-Zarqawi accused the Jordanian government of hiding casualties
among Israeli and American intelligence agents, and he insisted
al-Qaida in Iraq was not targeting fellow Muslims.

"We want to assure you that ... you are more beloved to us than
ourselves," al-Zarqawi said, addressing Jordanians.

I'm trying to figure out the striation color in the rocks in that pic to determine where that may be.

The one way in the background looks pointed like the Luxor to me but a different color of course.

Who knows what lurks in their evil little minds.

Says in the article that advair is one of Glaxos most profitable drugs....at darn near $200.00 for a 30 dose disc (which is mostly filler from what I was told--the actual medicine amount is almost imperceptible, but they added the filler so people "felt" they were getting a dose) I would believe it.

BTTT MamaD. BBL to catch up.

There's a congressman from Texas named Culberson who says several sheriffs in a county near the Brownsville border had an arab prisoner courtesy of the mexican government. The FBI came and got them and that's the end of any info. This was not the first time they have had arabs captured.

In checking I see an article from WND and probably has been posted somewhere, but I don't have the time to look so I will post here again.

HOMELAND INSECURITY Lawmaker: Terror war spilling across border Concern rising following arrest of al-Qaida suspect in Mexico
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WorldNetDaily.com

A U.S. lawmaker says elements of the war on terror are now spilling across the nation's southwestern border, and that colleagues he's spoken to who have seen the problem first-hand, as he has, say they felt safer "during trips to Iraq than they would have in a pickup truck on our southern border."

I have been thinking about this report, still not clear on what it is that is bothering me, but part of it is:

Algerians, isn't that what is rioting in France?

Isn't the largest ship now the Elizabeth2, the new cruise ship?

Would it have 10,000 people on it, I think it might with the crew and passengers.

As I recall, it was built in france, there were all kinds of accidents at the ship yard.

One was the boarding ramp fell on the workers family, when they came to see the ship, before it left the shipyard, the figure 17 dead, women and children, is in my mind.

I could be wrong, it could have been a different ship, but I am pretty sure that I am thinking of the right one.

Did the france rioters cause all the problems at the ship yard, there were several other incidents that killed people who were building it.

Of course, the saying that Queen Elizabeth was a target, would be very easy to switch to the ship.

The only other ship that I know of as that large is some of our Aircraft Carriers.......Is one named close to that?

If the cruise ship was at a dock when it exploded, it would surely take out the 10,000.

If their code is as simple as using corn for the word bullets, then a ship for the word Queen would be an easy code.

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks granny I will check later, I have to go out.......

BBL

[WestCoastGal]

Lots of great thoughts there for me to think about today.

Whatever happened to that aq navy reported about earlier this year? I can see them packing one of their ships with explosives.

Now I really am going. :)

[nw_arizona_granny]

It looks as though the Queen Mary is even larger than the Elizabeth2, and it was the Queen Mary that had all the accidents.

That does not completely cancel my thoughts, as it is a
"Queen".

[nw_arizona_granny]

The alQ navy, may be the pirates off Africa, or so my mind
thinks.

They have been quiet, but the reports on the cruise ship that was attacked, had modern rockets and good speed boats, according to some of the reports that I read.

Remember, there are a lot of ships stolen, all kinds of them and all over the world.

One or more is out there loaded with the missiles that Iran has just sold the Hizbalah........or part of them.

[WestCoastGal]

Just one more thing before I go. LOL Put on some of that tinfoil from the party last night......this is from the article I posted above re: Congressman Culberson.

He said communications found on him were in "code" to make it appear as though he were tracking migratory birds.

"He was part of al-Qaida," West said, adding, "The written communication that we were able to obtain was … in the nature of code words." He said the alleged operative was transferred from Mexico to Brewster County, which borders Hudspeth County, "in the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service."

[bored at work]

yep. I'm listening now. THANKS GRANNY!

Just looking at that picture again. I am not familiar with the city outline of NYC (except the WTC, of course) but it looks to me like SF. The other buildings. And I don't recall seeing a picture from that kind of angle of NYC that has a bridge right there. I've been over the Bay Bridge countless times; that almost might be a picture from Treasure Island maybe? In the middle of the Bay for those not familiar with the terrain there.

The hills almost have an arid California look to them; of course there aren't any that close to SF if that is SF. But there are some big ones in South SF like that.

[Rushmore Rocks]

I thought the hills looked quite similar to the ones in the Bin Laden videos...........Afghanistan?

[little jeremiah]

LJ's better half swears it isn't SF so what do I know. I still think it is.

[Rushmore Rocks]

Also, is that a flag in the upper left corner? Gold sun with bluish rays around it? I googled "national flags" and could find nothing remotely resembling it.
