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.

If you will check the archives for December 2005, you will have the latest Russian news, plus there is jihadi reports.

Most interesting is a letter written to President Bush, from the town of Beslan, asking for help to get the terrorists that attacked the Beslan School.....in the December 2005 list of news, it is a long string of reports.

Comment from your second link:

"It is indeed curious that Primakov is probably Clinton's
favorite.

"Not too surprising if you recall that Clinton paid a student pilgrimage to Breznev where Clinton learned how to set up the Whitewater-Mena mafia."

U.S. Officials Label Terrorist Video As "Disinformation"

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 2005 – U.S. military officials in Iraq today labeled a video as "disinformation" that was posted to a terrorist Web site and aired by some media showing the roadside bomb attack that killed 10 U.S. Marines on Dec. 1.

U.S. soldiers from 1st Battalion, 9th Field Artillery, and Iraqi firefighters from the Rusafa Fire Station in eastern Baghdad watch as unexploded ordnance is inventoried prior to its destruction Dec. 1. U.S. Army photo
"The circumstances of the IED attack near Fallujah do not match those shown on the video," they added in a statement. The videos authenticity has not been determined, but "the statement claiming that the video shows the Dec. 1 attack near Fallujah is false," the officials said.

In other news, Army and Air Force units teamed up to crush a terrorist attack against an Army patrol near Balad, Iraq on Dec. 3. The attack began with a hail of small-arms fire directed at the patrol. The soldiers quickly located and engaged the gunmen, forcing them to take cover.

The patrol called for close-air support from two Air Force F-16 fighter jets, which responded by dropping laser-guided bombs. Two terrorists were killed in the short engagement.

One soldier was treated at the scene for minor injuries and returned to duty. In a Kifl neighborhood, an Iraqi police explosives disposal team discovered a weapons cache Dec. 3 that included 143 122 mm mortar and seven 155 mm artillery rounds.

The materials were turned over to authorities to be destroyed later.

Three incidents Dec. 2 resulted in the wounding of an Iraqi police officer and the detention of 13 terrorist suspects.

In Samarra, Iraqi police officers on a patrol were attacked by two men. The officers, backed up by police commandos, secured the area and engaged the two men.

The police said the attackers used AK-47 assault rifles and left in a white Toyota pickup truck.

Two individuals were later stopped and apprehended at an Iraqi army checkpoint driving a white Toyota truck.

The soldiers at the checkpoint searched the vehicle and found two AK-47s with cartridge cases littering the floorboard. They reported the weapons were hot to the touch and smelled of gunpowder.

Later, two other insurgents were apprehended at the same checkpoint for having weapons in their vehicle. These individuals are also believed to have participated in the attack.

The wounded officer was shot twice in the left shoulder and once in the head. The bullet ricocheted off the officer's forehead and went through his left ear. Medics at the scene said the officer should make a full recovery.

In Fallujah, Iraqi army troops and coalition forces detained three men and seized their weapons after the men attempted to gain access to the city.

Iraqi soldiers stopped and searched the suspects' vehicle when they noticed the license plate and vehicle name were blacked out. They soldiers found two AK-47s, one sniper rifle, three magazines, several loose 7.62 mm rounds and a CD containing anti-coalition propaganda.

In Siniyah, six terror suspects were detained Dec. 2 after a concerned resident informed police about a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device being built nearby.

Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team conducted a raid on the site and searched the suspects' vehicle.

Two AK-47s, a sniper rifle, bomb-making materials and $5,300 in U.S. currency were seized.

Two of the six suspects tested positive for explosives residue, though no explosives were found at the site.

In a separate action near Balad, soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team detained five terrorist suspects Dec. 3.

The suspects were spotted using burning gas to soften the asphalt so an IED could be placed in the roadbed. The same day near the eastern city of Sadiyah, another terrorist was killed when the IED he was attempting to place detonated prematurely.

In eastern Baghdad, Iraqi firefighters from the Rusafa Fire Station turned over more than 200 rounds of unexploded ordnance to elements of Task Force Baghdad for destruction Dec. 1.

The firefighters gave 65 artillery rounds and 143 mortar rounds to members of the 1st Battalion, 9th Field Artillery.

This cooperation is a continuing effort between the leadership of the Rusafa Fire Station and the artillery battalion to rid the area of unexploded ordnance and deny terrorists potential bomb-making material.

"On Nov. 3, we secured a slightly smaller, but still significant, load of munitions in the same location. I am glad to be working with the firefighters here to make the community safer for everyone especially the children who like to play in areas where much of the unexploded ordnance still remains," said Maj. Jay Sawyer, the unit's operations officer.

"The most exciting aspect to me is that the Iraqi citizens provide the Iraqi security forces and fire departments with the location of unexploded ordnance they find in their neighborhoods," Sawyer added. "The people want their communities safer and they look to the Iraqi government to provide that safety."

A U.S. explosives disposal team later destroyed all of the ordnance.

"Iran threatens counter-strike"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Earlier, Benjamin Netanyahu told the Voice of Israel national radio network that "Israel must take every necessary step to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran must be prevented from developing this threat to the State of Israel. If, by the elections, the current government works to achieve this, I will give it my full support – and if it does not, I intend on establishing the next government, and then we'll act."

Meretz-Yahad faction head Yossi Beilin said that narrow considerations based on elections will drag Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Netanyahu to harsh comments that will be perceived as support for military action against Iran. Beilin said Israel must work for diplomatic activity to be led by the United States without endangering Israel in a confrontation with Iran with potentially disastrous consequences.

Also on Sunday the head of Tehran's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi was quoted saying by Tehran's official news agency IRNA that Iran's Atomic Energy Organization has been given license to set up another 20 nuclear plants, two of them by March 2006.

Iran's first nuclear plant is being built by Russia for USD 1 billion and is scheduled to begin operating by March 2006.

'Diplomatic pressure won't work'

According to Boroujerdi, the new power plants will be able to generate 20,000 megawatts of electricity. However, international and Israeli intelligence sources claim the program may be a front to build an atomic bomb, an allegation Iran's vigorously denies."

Arkansas man scales White House fence

Snip: WASHINGTON - A man from Arkansas scaled the fence surrounding the White House Sunday while President Bush was inside and was immediately captured by Secret Service officers.

Secret Service spokesman Jonathan Cherry identified the jumper as Shawn A. Cox. Cherry said Cox was being charged with unlawful entry and was expected to appear Monday in U.S. District Court.

Cox has previously come to the attention of the Secret Service, Cherry said, but he would not provide details.

Shoppers flee gunfire in Montreal

Snip: Sunday, December 04, 2005 A man fired at least five shots into an empty police cruiser parked outside The Bay on busy downtown Ste. Catherine St. yesterday afternoon, injuring two passers-by who were struck by stray bullets.

As the shots rang out, shocked Christmas shoppers screamed and ran for cover on the street adorned with festive lights, witnesses said. The victims, a 30-year-old man and a woman, 54, suffered injuries to the legs and were rushed to a nearby hospital. Their injuries were not life-threatening, police said.

Police described the shooter as a man in his 20s. He fled on foot."It's too early in the investigation to know why the man decided to open fire," said Montreal police Constable Salvatore Serrao.

Shortly after 4 p.m., a police cruiser was called to The Bay for an unrelated shoplifting incident. Two officers parked their car and entered the store. The suspect, clad in a black hooded shirt and army pants, approached the vehicle, yelled an unintelligible phrase and opened fire, possibly with a pistol, police said.

MRSA - Superbug that eats flesh is on the loose

Snip: As if threats of pandemic superflu weren't enough, yet another new and potentially fatal "superbug" is spreading worldwide — including in Tucson. No mere threat, this bug has infected hundreds of Tucsonans already and hospitalized dozens, some with life-threatening illness. Appearing at first as just a pimple, maybe a small cut, the infection often is mistaken by many victims — and their doctors — for a spider bite, delaying vital treatment. Known as MRSA — methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus or "mersa" — it is in fact a highly contagious bacteria that has developed strong resistance to most antibiotics, making it hard to treat and setting the stage for dangerous invasive disease.

Mersa itself is actually nothing new. This resistant form of staph bacteria has been around for decades, but was limited mostly to outbreaks in hospital and nursing-home patients. What's alarming doctors and public-health officials now is that mersa has moved into the general public — often infecting young people who have been nowhere near a hospital.

Infection begins on the skin, triggering inflammation, boils or nasty abscesses that can take weeks of treatment to stop — including surgery and hospitalization. But if it moves to the bloodstream, mersa can cause bone infection, lung-damaging pneumonia, organ damage, even fatal toxic shock syndrome. Several Tucson emergency rooms report treating some 500 cases of mersa this year — triple the number seen just two years ago.

Street kids save bus from bomb

Snip: Dhaka - Police said two street children discovered a ticking time-bomb under a bus in the capital of Bangladesh, where at least 13 people have been killed and dozens of others wounded in the past week in a wave of attacks by suspected Islamic radicals.

Authorities in Gazipur, just north of Dhaka, have announced an indefinite school vacation after two attacks last week killed nine people, and police in a town farther north removed a bogus bomb from a school.

Also, questioning Tucson?? Border area, illegals? 500 seems like a lot for one year. .

I wonder if my Purell will work? Considering how cold it has been here I can wear my mittens when I go to the store. I don't know, it's all kind of depressing, I'm going to take my Amazing Grace bubble bath and snuggle in bed and not worry.
