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.

"Containers that raise concern are often inspected at the foreign port, McCabe said. "

I like the choice of wording there, "often" I would like to see ALWAYS!

[British chick]

Thanks for the heads up. I am absoloutely convinced that a major attack is planned for this year. For some reason the end of November is concerning me. I seem to recall reading information about that timeframe previously?

I don't think it will happen before thanksgiving but between then and Christmas.

[British chick]

I just watched the video, if it's the one at Jill's site you're referring to. Basically it's a montage of clips from the movies Deep Impact and Independence Day, set to lots of Islamic chanting. They have mostly used scenes of things like The White House being blown to pieces and NYC destroyed by a tidal wave.

[British chick]

Would you characterize the chatter on the forums for us? Jill seems to think it has increased in intensity and volume. Any thoughts?

[Rushmore Rocks]

another quote from Jill's site referencing a time frame:

"From the information that I have had available to me, there is a strong likelihood that Al Qaeda will launch a major terrorist attack here, in the United States, between November 25, 2006 and the New Year."

Thanks, Jill.

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks for the scoop on the video.

Seems as though they like our movies!!

BBL, keep me posted but ping in FRmail because today is the last race of the season and things get lost in my comment section on race day!! Need a screen name for Nascar and one for TM. LOL

[British chick]

FWIW, Debka are now reporting that troops have surrounded a house in Mosul containing high ranking al-Qaeda members.

"Crude Nuclear Device, not only one, but there will be several".

I presume he is talking about a real fission device and not nuclear material wrapped around high explosive...the so called dirty bomb?

If so years for a return to normality is more like decades away

[British chick]

I don't care how crude it is, it's that nuclear word that bothers me!!

[Rushmore Rocks]

Thanks......sounds like they might have a "big get". Crossing fingers here.

Re: Debka

Many here pay them no heed, but I have found them to be right more often than not. JMHO

[neosgirl]

British chick,
Thanks for asking, unfortunately though I've just returned to translating and keeping an eye on the forums after a 3 month or so break.
So take this with a grain of salt, because I've been out of the loop for a little bit, and I do respect and trust Jill's opinion. I personally do not see any increase. There have been several cycles where I think it's increased and something is coming, but then I'm wrong - so I'm probably jaded at this point and just can see the forest for the trees.
Sorry, I know that's not helpful.
Now off to the forums to see what's up this am.

peace

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


COALTION FORCES IDENTIFY CAPTURED TERRORIST

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Coalition forces acting on multiple intelligence sources and tips from concerned citizens raided a suspected al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist safe house in Baghdad Oct. 31 capturing an al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist named Uthman Faruq Muhammad Abd-al-Hamid (aka Abu Ibrahim). Abu Ibrahim was a technology expert, advisor and supplier to al Qaeda in Iraq terrorists and leaders in Baghdad.

Abu Ibrahim was a computer store owner, a programmer and part owner in an engineering company in Baghdad. Abu Ibrahim admits he supplied hundreds of triggering devices for improvised explosive devices, as well as other technology items, to the al Qaeda in Iraq military commander in Baghdad on multiple occasions. These items include hand-held radios, cellular telephones, wireless telephones, computers, software and computer parts and electronic components.

Abu Ibrahim was also associated with the al Qaeda in Iraq Baghdad propaganda cell. He provided his expertise in the procurement of video equipment, video editing equipment, and computer programs. He was directly connected to the al Qaeda in Iraq propaganda emir and well as other senior terrorists such as Dr. Muhsin, who was detained in June.

Abu Ibrahim also admits to being connected to Abu Hassen who was detained last month. Abu Ibrahim provided Abu Hassen with computers and software to make false identifications. Abu Hassen admitted to making false weapons permits, identification cards and press credentials for various al Qaeda in Iraq terrorists as well as the senior al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist leadership in Baghdad.

These identifications would be used by terrorists to conceal their true identities if stopped by Iraqi Security and Coalition forces. The forgeries also provided a way to openly carry weapons while conducting terrorist activities. These activities could include attacks, kidnappings, and murders. The false identifications would also provide a means of entry as media representatives to various events to reconnoiter them for potential terrorist attacks.

Radioactive Material On Its Way To Kilgore (Texas) Is Missing
KLTV ^ | 11/19/05 | Bob Hallmark


It made stops in Abilene, Austin, Dallas and Tyler and somewhere along the way radioactive material came up missing before it got to East Texas. A New Mexico agency is hoping that someone in Texas can help them solve a mystery of some missing radio active material, that did not reach its destination in Kilgore.

Workers at ProTechnics in Kilgore were immediately alarmed when earlier this month a military style ammo box that contained radio-active material, turned up missing on a shipment from New Mexico.

The FBI is investigating the theft of the shipment. Investigators believe two vials of antimony-124, a radioactive material used in the oil and gas industry, were stolen before the truck got to Kilgore.

--The material is not considered a terrorist threat because of the small amount involved.

Debka is now reporting al-Zarqawi could be amongst the dead and there are a couple of FR threads going about this subject.

[British chick]

Drudge now has a link to the Jerusalem Post article about al-Zarqawi...
