Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

Thread Thirty-Two (Index)

Yahoo News : Yahoo Images : News Hotlinks

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.

U.S. Embassy in Manila closed due to `plausible threat'


The U.S. Embassy in Manila closed to the public on Tuesday after receiving "plausible threat information," the embassy said in a statement.

The statement, posted on its Web site, did not elaborate. It said the embassy would resume all public operations, including visa operations, "when deemed appropriate."

Manila Radio DZMM reported that police operatives were inside the embassy compound along Manila Bay after a bomb threat Monday night, but officials did not comment immediately.

"The threat we received we felt was plausible enough to merit closing temporarily services to the public," embassy spokesman Matthew Lussenhop told Radio DZMM. (snip)

Curt Weldon on FOX news now discussing Able Danger.

[StillProud2BeFree]

Yes, this one one of the videos on the DVD's that we picked up at the mosques a couple of weeks ago.

[StillProud2BeFree]

You'd be surprised at the jihadi problems they have in Sweden.

Did you see the article I posted the other day about the mosques in Stockholm?

Remember the jihadi kids video came out of Sweden

And we're following a Swedish jihadi website now as well.

RUSSIAN DEFENCE MINISTER CONFIRMS MISSILES SALE TO IRAN
International Herald Tribune ^ | MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2005 | The Associated Press

Posted on 12/05/2005 1:46:44 PM PST by twinself

Russia has struck a deal to provide Iran with short-range, surface-to-air missiles, Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said Monday. He defended the deal, saying that the weapons system was purely defensive.

Russian media reported Friday that Russian and Iranian officials had signed various weapons contracts in November worth a billion dollars (?850 million) that would send up to 30 Tor-M1 missile systems to Iran over the next two years.

''A contract for the delivery of air defense Tor missile systems to Iran has indeed been signed,'' Ivanov said in comments broadcast by the state channel Rossiya, without giving further details.

Spook Wars

Snip: Yet now the CIA's anti-Bush propaganda has been swallowed by the media without so much as a murmur, let alone a checked fact or two, let alone any adverse comment or questions being asked about what the hell was going on here. Everything produced by these superannuated spooks has been viewed as holy writ, sanctified and guaranteed by the very aura of clandestine ops that would once have rung every alarm bell going. And that, of course, is because these ex-spooks (can a spook ever really be ex?) are delivering exactly what the hacks want to hear...

Exclusive unnamed sources just informed me that Hillary Clinton clubs baby seals for fun and that Michael Moore devours 1000 innocent souls a day to sustain his unholy incarnation.

"Venezuela blames foes in oil pipeline blast"
Monday, December 5, 2005; Posted: 11:12 a.m. EST (16:12 GMT)
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Investigators found remnants of C-4 explosives at three spots on the pipeline, Chacon said.

"Just one of them managed to break the oil pipeline," he told reporters.

The blast was "clearly intended to destabilize" the country, Ramirez told reporters, saying those responsible aimed to disrupt operations at Paraguana.

A gas pipeline running along the same route was also attacked, he said. Authorities removed explosives from one site before they went off, and at a second site the charge was too weak to cause any damage.

Two electrical stations on the west coast of Lake Maracaibo also were sabotaged, Ramirez said, without giving details.

Nobody was hurt by the explosion Saturday night in a remote region of western Venezuela, and firefighters extinguished a fierce blaze caused by the blast."

"Venezuela, Iran Sign Oil Deposits Deal"
Dec 5th - 4:32pm

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "President Hugo Chavez has said that would make Venezuela home to the world's largest reserves of oil. At present, Saudi Arabia has the world's top reserves with about 262 billion barrels.

PDVSA has divided the 1,357-square mile Orinoco belt into 27 blocks for reserve surveys. Thirteen of those are being conducted by foreign companies, including Petropars, Brazil's Petrobras and China National Petroleum Corp.

Ties between Caracas and Tehran have tightened under Chavez, who views Iran as an ally in his struggle to build an international alliance to counter U.S. economic and political dominance.

The two governments have signed dozens of other agreements, including plans for a cement company, an auto parts plant and a project to build 10,000 homes in Venezuela.

Venezuela and Iran are also both members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and have consistently backed efforts to bolster prices by controlling production volumes."
