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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat
Threat Matrix: U.S. Terrorism
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.

Weak strain of bird flu found at Sun Valley farm

Snippets: SUN VALLEY Japanese quails suffering from a low pathogenic strain of bird flu were discovered in a Sun Valley quail farm. The Bureau of Humane Law Enforcement, a non-governmental, nonprofit organization devoted to defending animals, began investigating conditions at the now-defunct L.A. Quail Farm earlier this year.

The bureau’s veterinarian determined many of the birds had a variety of diseases, fast-moving respiratory ailments, infections, injuries and lesions. Most disturbing was the diagnosis of a low pathogenic strain of avian influenza among the quails, which had been raised and kept at the facility. The birds had been raised for human consumption.

Uranium for the Islamic bomb

Snip: In fifteen days, on average, Khans visited ten African countries: always returning to Niger because – as was later discovered – his laboratories in Pakistan were going ahead with atomic powder from the mines in Niger (Pakistan produced around 745 kilos of enriched uranium capable of producing 40 nuclear bombs each with a 2,000 km range).

In 1999 Khan was discovered by the 007’s between Niger and Nigeria looking for fuel for a Chinese reactor. From 1999 until today Khan’s network has suffered a series of setbacks but, according to intelligence analysts, in Africa’s fundamentalist countries Khan is continuing to function using lesser means.

Middlemen are finding fertile ground in the trafficking of double use components that are supposedly for civil use , but in reality intended for the enrichment of uranium for military purposes.

Professors must receive Islamic training

Snip: Tehran, Iran, Dec. 01 – A senior Iranian cleric has called for all university professors to undergo Islamic training by the clergy. Ayatollah Mohammad-Taghi Mesbah-Yazdi made the call while meeting officials at the Ministry of Health.

Mesbah-Yazdi, who is the ultra-conservative ideological mentor of hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, also said that a project was underway for Islamic clerics to check all university books to ensure that all “un-Islamic” literature are filtered.

“The Supreme Council for Cultural Revolution has thus far been indifferent to universities becoming Islamicised. All the organs of the Islamic Republic must be run according to fatwas (holy mandates) decreed by the religious jurisprudents. There is a project being carried out to change books in universities which involves clerics checking the books and picking up their mistakes”, the radical cleric said.

Mesbah Yazdi, an extremist even by the standards of Iran’s ayatollahs, is notorious for regularly advocating the use of suicide operations to fight “the enemies of Islam”.

The girl who went from baker's assistant to Baghdad bomber

Snip: “They told us that they had a house in Morocco and some horses, and a Mercedes and three motorbikes. We never found out whether it was true,” said her mother, who blames Goris for brainwashing her daughter. When Muriel returned to Belgium, her mother no longer recognised her. She had become “more Muslim than Muslim”, she said. “The religion was totally ingrained in her. She only lived for that.”

Islamic jihad video of beheaded Israeli in Gaza emerges

Typed Copy Snip (could not computer copy): A video from Palestinian Islamic Jihad of a beheaded Israeli is being distributed on the internet. The video shows a crowd of Palestinians in Gaza including children, shouting "Allahu Akhbar!" (God is great) as a terrorist takes the head out of a bag and holds it up for the cheering crowd. Jihadi music plays in the background and the crowd is visibly ecstatic.

I just wonder how many are being brainwashed at this very moment. Probably many more than we kill in a day in Iraq. Now they have women and probably the blue eyed ones they have always boasted about.

Also, the Gaza story is despicable. I still cannot believe Israel gave them more land. The story is not over there!

CDC report: Deadly bacterial illness appears to be spreading
Times Leader/AP ^ | 12/1/05 | MIKE STOBBE


Posted on 12/01/2005 12:50:32 PM CST by Born Conservative


ATLANTA - A deadly bacterial illness commonly seen in people on antibiotics appears to be growing more common - even in patients not taking such drugs, federal health officials warned Thursday.

The bacteria are Clostridium difficile, also known as C-diff. The germ is becoming a regular menace in hospitals and nursing homes, and last year it was blamed for 100 deaths over 18 months at a hospital in Quebec, Canada.

No I hadn't seen that story about the bacterial illness. Hospitals aren't a good place to be unless you absolutely positively have to be there.

The Gaza story reinforces my apprehension about why the strip was handed back to the Palestinians. Rather than living in peace with their neighbor state, they choose barbaric acts of terror. You're right - it is disgusting. We worry about our children seeing violence on TV - those children are hardened to it from very early in life. It certainly readies them to commit acts of terrorism against others later in their lives.

Washing fruits/veggies not foolproof against illness

Snip: As consumption of healthy fruits and vegetables rises in Canada, the number of cases of food-borne illness linked from produce has also increased, partly because microbes can't always be washed away.

In Ontario, more than 500 people were stricken recently with salmonella poisoning after eating contaminated bean sprouts. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency reports 15 outbreaks of illness due to contaminated produce between 1991 and 2000.

Public health officials try to find a balance between touting the benefits of eating fresh produce and alerting people to its potential harms. Strawberries, green onions and pre-washed salad mixes have been implicated in recent North American outbreaks of hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella.

The original source of contamination may be animal manure or human feces that are introduced in the field either in Canada or abroad, wash tanks, at the grocery store or in the kitchen. Washing produce with running water helps, but some pathogens can be absorbed into the cells.

C-Diff is what the Dr's finally decided I had back in August.
That and facial cellulitis. Still recovering from that. Very nasty stuff. I have an auto-immune disease, so that really complicated things. This is the first time I've seen the C-Diff discussed on the net. Until now, I was wondering if the Dr's just made it up. You just renewed my faith in them.

On the contaminated-imported vegetable subject, Dr. Bill has said several times that the only way to kill those germs is to spray your food with the common Peroxide, then a spray of vinegar.

LOL, he never says and then wash them in running water, but I am sure he intends for us to do so.

He has also insisted for years that all kitchen dish clothes and sponges, be put in the microwave, soaking wet, until they steam.....says that is the only way to kill the germs that collect in them.

Which reminds me, I waited years to hear him say recently, something that I felt was true.

He says to not cook food in the microwave, in plastic of any kind.

Plastic is a petroleum based product and a little of it comes off when heated.

Microwave in glass only.

PAKISTAN: SILENT CRACKDOWN ON HARDLINE ISLAMIST GROUPS

Karachi, 1 Dec. (AKI) - (by Syed Saleem Shahzad) - Struggling with an enormous task after the 8 October earthquake, the Pakistani government has been more than happy to allow banned Islamic groups, even those considered terrorist organisations by Washington, to take over much of the aid effort in remote areas. Without the help of groups such as Lashkar-e-Toiba - now renamed as Jamaatut Dawa - the relief operation would simply collapse. However a quiet crackdown is underway, with the arrests of leading figures associated with Lashkar-e-Toiba (LT), a Salafite group in the al-Qaeda galaxy which is supportive of the former Taliban regime.

Arif Qasmani is a veteran jihadi, having fought against the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s, and been associated with the armed struggle in Indian-held Kashmir. He was picked up by Pakistani security forces last October but released a few days later.

Now Qasmani is once again missing. According to his family, he was in Karachi and departed for Lahore two days ago but since he left home his whereabouts are unknown.

The former commander of Lashkar-e-Toiba in the Sindh province, Dawood Qasmi, resigned from the hardline group soon after the September 11, 2001 attacks and has since been associated with a medical research institute.

Intelligence agents have raided his house in Karachi and threatened his wife that if Qasmi did not surrender within 24 hours the whole family would be rounded up, Dr Qasmi’s wife Hania told Adnkronos International (AKI).

High level intelligence sources has confirmed that dozens of other suspected militants - mainly from Lashkar-e-Toiba- have been secretly rounded up across the country.

Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf banned Lashkar-e-Toiba, along with four other Islamic groups, in January 2002 amid pressure that followed the 11 September attacks in the US.

Until then LT, with its reputation for being purely Kashmir-focused, was able to operate openly inside Pakistan, raising funds and recruiting members.

LT has close ties with Arab-Afghans, who came from their native countries to Afghanistan in the 1980s to fight the Soviets or in the late 1990s, either for Al-Qaeda training or to boost the Taliban government.

After the Taliban retreated from Kabul and Kandahar in 2001, and many Arab-Afghan families moved to Pakistan, LT members gave them refuge and arranged their safe exit from Afghanistan.

High level sources said that so far the operation against LT is highly secret and selective but massive lists have been drawn up all across the country and a major arrest sweep is expected. They said that the operation, currently very low-key, would expand to the whole country including North and South Waziristan.

from the second link in #3507:

Noxious emails to all members yesterday were followed up today first
by all comments being reworded as a profane reference to
Republicans, and now by the following oddball words strewn
throughout all posts: 'Limecat', H4X, KHAAAAAAAAN, ROAR and
AKJREJOIFJKJEWOIUOIWE<<<<<

The above could link to your post 3425, that tells of the wesite to trace Christians.

Googling the words, gives odd results, of course it is months later, so who knows what would have come up on the day it was posted.

H4X, among other things is a postal code in Canada (2nd page of google search, as I recall).

Limecat, is a 33 year old male member in the Suicide Girls website, says he lives in Calif.

KHAAAAAAAAN = 11 letters and pulls many links.

AKJREJOIFJKJEWOIUOIWE - I see words here, it pulled Free Republic and a gay site in Hawaii.

AKJREJOIFJK-JEW-OIUOI-WE I don't really feel sharp brained tonight, so am not getting the ideas for the other letters.

It might prove interesting if there were attacks on Jewish people about that time in that mail code.

I know some of you know how to contact the FBI or other agencies. Here's an article I just pinged out, from some kind of "gay" paper in the Netherlands, and apparently there are links at the paper to pedophiles seeking victims. Maybe someone reading this knows who to contact about this:

(It's a seriously disgusting article, file under "know thine enemy". Don't read it unless you really need to for doing something about it. These people are subhuman scum and IMO vigilante justice is called for.)

Israelis arrest Aljazeera journalist

Friday 02 December 2005, 2:50 Makka Time, 23:50 GMT

A journalist working for Aljazeera.net has been arrested by Israeli forces from the occupied West Bank.

Awad Rajub, 29, was whisked away from his home in Dura, near the West Bank city of Hebron, on Tuesday.

An Israeli army spokesman said Rajub was still in detention.

Sources told Aljazeera that Rajub, a Palestinian, was beaten up in the presence of his wife by the Israeli soldiers. His computer and mobile phone were also confiscated.

Rajub was later taken to an undisclosed location.

Walid al-Amari, Aljazeera's bureau chief for Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories, said: "The army simply said that he had been arrested for security reasons, and we do not know any more than that."

Israeli public radio said Rajub was arrested after the army received information about him from the domestic Israeli security service, Shin Beth.

Three wounded, one person in custody after shooting at Texas military
base, official says.

2nd note: twice on the Denver news at koa 850.com, they talked about a shooting in Auroa, Colorado, that happened in the same block with an elementry school.

The cops were chasing a man, when they almost had him, the cop got out of his car and the man jumped in the police car and attempted to escape.

The cops shot the police car, then Tasered the man.

Man is expected to live, but in hospital.

Children watched the whole thing, so I would say there are many nightmares for them tonight.

I heard the report twice and none of it made real good sense to me.
