Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

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.

Missile Attack On Passenger Jet?

Radio News | November 28, 2005
Posted on 11/28/2005 4:49:25 AM PST by texianyankee

I heard on the radio this morning, that a pilot of a passenger jet departing LAX claimed to have narrowly avoided being hit by a missile. It was reported that the jet was about 6,000 feet in altitude & over the ocean when the event occurred. The news report further stated that authorities believe it was possibly a flare or a "bottle rocket."

----Here it is almost 9 p.m. and I've not heard a word about this on any news program today.

Thanks for the link.
I was just poking around there and the computer froze up.
Not a good sign. LOL

The Freedoms We Fight For (The unheralded
Islamist assault on free speech)
The Weekly Standard ^ | November 28, 2005 | Daveed Gartenstein-Ross

Posted on 11/28/2005 5:07:44 PM PST by RWR8189

LAST MONTH, Islamic radicals threatened to kill actor and Muslim
convert Omar Sharif. Sharif had recently played St. Peter in an Italian
TV film and spoke highly of the role, saying that he "seemed to hear
voices" during filming and that "it will be difficult for me to play other
roles from now on." Although Sharif's comments seem innocuous, they
prompted a death threat. According to the Adnkronos International
news agency, a message on a web forum which has been used by al
Qaeda in the past linked to another website that threatened Sharif's
life. The website containing the threat said, "Omar Sharif has stated
that he has embraced the crusader idolatry. He is a crusader who is
offending Islam and Muslims and receiving applause from the Italian
people. I give you this advice, brothers, you must kill him."

This incident is relatively minor in the grand scheme of the war
against radical Islam, but telling. It provides another glimpse into the
Islamists' single-minded fanaticism and their willingness to punish any
type of ideological non-conformity.



THE THREAT AGAINST Sharif largely fell below the media's radar.
Indeed, aside from a few high profile examples--such as the fatwa
directed at Salman Rushdie after he published The Satanic Verses and
last year's slaying of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh--the
mainstream media has given little coverage to the widespread
Islamist assault against free speech.

Continued, lots of other reports here..........

This one makes me think of the France riots.

Is it a promise of more to come and in the United States?

Wish I could read what they wrote on our flag.

[Velveeta]

Are you going to make me wear tinfoil?

But of course! It's standard attire.

One report has the 2 wires touching, the other report says they don't know the cause. This incident, like all the others you mentioned will fade away.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Interesting.

The take over of the world and America is in full force.

Does this photo connect to the liquor store:

How do you stop the takeover?

NW Arizona Granny heard the same report on the radio twice this morning.

[MamaDearest]

I still remember the DC politicians standing on the Capital steps singing God Bless America after 9-11.

How quickly they forget. They're too busy right now blasting our President for everything he does. Our nation's security is obviously much less important than partisan politics. Personally, IMHO many of them are accomplishing nothing more than being publicity Wh@^@$. Here's some reminders of their level of alertness and attention to our immigration concerns:

Snip: Since 1992, the R Visa(s) allow Religious Workers to enter the U.S. on a non-immigrant status for a period of three years which may be extended to five (5) years. These visas are not subjected to a quota limitation however the E4 classification as Permanent Special Immigrant Religious Worker is subjected to a quota limitation of 10,000 visas per year.

Snip: 23/10/2005 Riyadh, Asharq Al-Awsat- More than 10,000 Saudi students will travel to the US to attend university as part of a government-sponsored program following the adoption of new measures by the Ministry of Higher Education aimed at facilitating travel procedures for Saudis. In total, 21,000 Saudis are expected to take part in the program in the next four years.

Snip: In 2004, the United States issued 25,647 student and exchange visitor visas to Chinese nationals.

Snip: The number of foreign students enrolled in U.S. higher education institutions during the 2004-2005 academic year remained fairly steady at 565,039, down 1.3 percent from the previous year's totals, according to the Institute of International Education's (IIE) 2005 report on international academic mobility.

Personal note: It's no wonder they lose track of many of these students - the numbers speak for themselves. And this doesn't involve illegals from our Northern and Southern borders whatsoever.

They saw all Granny's googles and wondered if they could do that.<<<

I fear they will do only the 'keywords' and miss all the other stuff.

I cannot imagine a gov't employee daring to google a row of XXXX's.........LOL

There is also a jackpot drawing for 50,000 each year, that lets anyone who is drawn in the country.

It was to have been cancelled, but was not.

They were talking about it on the KDWN border control program about a month ago.

[MamaDearest]

How do you stop the takeover?

In the words of the song: "They've only just begun...."

Our government allows 10,000 religious immigrants per year - now imagine that as mullahs or imams and you get the picture..... There are no printable words to describe my feelings about this. It's way beyond frustration.

Vel, I'm with you!

Hikers Find Suspicious Bag On Popular Trail

TROUTDALE, Ore. -- A bomb scare shut down a popular tourist attraction Sunday.
Two hikers found a suspicious duffle bag at Horsetail Falls and brought it to the restaurant and gift shop at Multnomah Falls.

A manager looked inside and called police.

"He was going through it and there was a piece of paper that said bomb and a bag with some wires in it and stuff," park employee Leah Wong told KOIN News 6.

The Portland bomb squad blew up the bag as a precaution. They say there were no explosives inside.(snip)

3 Suspects Held With Explosives, Wired Shoes


Cyrus Ombati
Nairobi

Police in Nairobi are holding three terror suspects allegedly found in possession of explosives.

The three Ethiopians were arrested at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport last Tuesday on arrival from Addis Ababa.


Detectives said they were headed for South Africa.

The detectives were investigating the three, who also had shoes that had switches and dry cells.

"We suspect they are suicide bombers and we are interrogating them to establish their motive for having such shoes," said a policeman.

The first suspect was seized at the screening point at the airport before his suspected accomplices were also caught.

A team of detectives sent to Ethiopia to investigate the wired shoes, switches and dry cells returned at the weekend.

They established that a number of people from the suspects' locality had similar shoes but insisted on interrogating the three.

The first suspect was arrested on Tuesday morning while the other two were arrested on Thursday.

Police said yesterday that they expect to make more arrests.

Last month, four men were picked in Eastleigh estate for allegedly funding terror activities.

Three of the suspects operated a forex bureau while the fourth was a businessman importing second-hand goods from Dubai.

Anti-terror police boss Ireri Kamwende said they were still investigating.

The four had Kenyan passports and were later released without charges after several Muslim groups protested at their arrests.
