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.

Foggy memory, but during those fires in California last summer, weren't there reports of a white car?<<<

Yes, a white van, they were pulling off at an off ramp, starting a fire and going back on the freeway, that was on the Calif. Highway Patrol site, that I was reading it.

They would go maybe 5 miles and repeat.

They were also doing the same at San Francisco general area the next day.

In fact if you dig, you might find other fires, in Arizona and Colorado with white vehicles.

You will also find that several truck accidents have been caused by white vehicles.

But a couple months ago, black vehicles started causing accidents, remember that long bridge over the causeway that had the firey crash, fuel truck, I think, a black jeep type, caused it, hit and run.

Slowboat posted the photo of the bridge, and I found an article that said the phone, water and electric lines were built into the bridge, to reach the island.

Then a short time later the Gov. released an alert that said the trucks should watch the black cars, as they were being used now.

I would say that most of the bomber cars are white, in all the attacks, around the world, just one of those odd facts that granny got stuck in her head, plus, I have found jihadi messages in the past, with white cars as a part of the message........yes, they do play a part.

Jonathan Pollard to Likud Members: Choose Feiglin

In a letter sent by Jonathan Pollard to the 130,000 members of the Likud Party, the jailed American Jew urged supporters of his freedom to vote for Moshe Feiglin to head the party.

"This is a critical moment in the history of the Jewish Nation. We are bereft of leaders that understand that true Jewish leadership must be subserviant to the will of the Almighty. It is only by G-d's grace that we live in The Land. Until we have leaders who recognize this simple fact and act accordingly, we as a Nation will continue to be at the mercy of both our friends and our foes.

"We believe that Moshe Feiglin may be the only leader in Israel today who understands that power is a test, not a gift, and that it must be wielded judiciously. We believe that because of his faith in the G-d of Israel, Moshe is the only leader in the Likud today capable of withstanding the wiles of our enemies and the pressures from our friends to act contrary to our own national interests.

In my opinion, Pollard's conviction and sentence was just and he should remain jailed.

Feds deny plutonium missing from Los Alamos
Snip: “We don’t think anything’s missing,” spokesman Don Ami of the National Nuclear Security Administration said. “We just think there’s a discrepancy.”

US eyes relaxed rules for foreign scientists<<<<<<

This is what Dr. Bill was talking about, he said the reports were made, based on what the anti-nuclear group found on the internet and talked a reporter into writing.

He says that he only knows of 2 locations of the 3 or more that are used for storage.

He said no one person, working there, knows all of it, for the very reason that you posted in the rest of your post, too many people from too many countries working there.

After hearing him, I am no longer worried, as he has been designing our nuclear weapons for about 50 years, or as he says "I designa a part of them with a team".....I would love to measure the brain power of that team all in one room. It should be an electrial charge, that would even penetrate my worn out brain.

This town is brain dead.....I loved taking classes at the local college, it was the only place that you could feel the radiation of brains working.

Converts to Terror
By Daniel Pipes
FrontPageMagazine.com | December 6, 2005


Converts to Islam are taking over the terrorist operations previously carried out mainly by Muslim-born immigrants and their children.

This was dramatically illustrated when a Belgian convert to Islam, Muriel Degauque, 38, blew herself up near Baghdad on Nov. 9 in a suicide attack on U.S. troops, becoming the first Christian-born Western woman to kill herself for Islamist purposes. And of the fourteen people arrested because of connections to Degauque, half were converts to Islam. In neighboring Holland, a just-published government report specifically worries about radicalized converts.

Islamist terror organizations particularly prize converts. They know the local culture and blend in. They cannot be deported. They can hide their religious affiliation by avoiding mosques, lying low, even drinking alcohol and taking drugs to maintain their cover. One guide counsels would-be suicide bombers going to Iraq to “wear jeans, eat doughnuts and always carry your Walkman.”

Converts who either carried out a terrorist operation or were jailed come from many Western countries. Here is a partial listing. (Converts as yet only suspected, arrested, or indicted will be listed in a separate article at my website, www.DanielPipes.org.)

· Australia: British-born Jack Roche, nine years in jail for trying to bomb the Israeli embassy in Canberra.

· France: David Courtailler, four years for abetting terrorists. Pierre Richard Robert, life for planning terrorist attacks in Morocco. Ruddy Teranova, three years for physically attacking a moderate Muslim.

· Germany: Steven Smyrek, seven years for planning a suicide mission for Hezbollah.

· Italy: Domenico Quaranta, twenty years for setting fire to a Milan subway station and trying to attack ancient Greek temples in Agrigento, Sicily.

· Netherlands: Jason Walters, the son of a black American father and a Dutch woman, belonged to the Hofstad Network, threw a hand grenade at police; his trial begins this week.

· United Kingdom: Germaine Lindsay, an immigrant from Jamaica, one of the London transport suicide bombers of July 2005, killing 26. Richard Reid, life for the “shoe bomber” who tried to bring down a Paris-to-Miami flight. Andrew Rowe, fifteen years for planning terrorist attacks.

· United States: Ryan Anderson, life for trying to aid Al-Qaeda while serving as a National Guardsman. David Belfield, assassinated a former Iranian diplomat outside Washington and fled to Iran. Clement Rodney Hampton-el, 35 years for helping bomb the World Trade Center in 1993. Mark Fidel Kools, death sentence for “fragging” and killing two of his army officers. John Muhammad, death sentence for his role as the lead “Beltway Sniper.” Randall Royer, twenty years for weapons and explosives charges “stemming from the investigation into a militant jihadist network in Northern Virginia.” Five members of Jamaat ul Fuqra, a Pakistan-based group suspected of at least thirteen murders in the United States, jailed for up to 69 years.

Lorenzo Vidino reports in Al Qaeda in Europe (Prometheus) that the authorities find “dozens of European converts have joined terrorist groups.” Nor is the problem restricted to Western converts to Islam.

· In the Philippines, for example, one convert confessed to bombing a ferry in February 2004, killing over 100, and others are linked to an attempt to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Manila. More generally, the government charges that Al-Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiyah use the Rajah Solaiman Movement, a group of converts, to carry out terror attacks.

· Non-Western converts move to the West and engage in terrorism there. Consider three American cases: Rashid Baz, born a Lebanese Druze, 141 years for murdering a Jewish boy on the Brooklyn Bridge. Wadih el-Hage, born a Lebanese Catholic, life without parole for his work with Osama bin Laden. John Samuel, born an Ethiopian Christian, awaits trial at Guantánamo, accused of entering the United States to terrorize for Al-Qaeda.

The growing prominence of converts to terrorism means that such counterterrorism tools as looking for Muslim names or excluding potential terrorists at the border do not suffice. Instead, it is now critical also to know exactly who converts to Islam and to watch converts to see which of them are radicalized.

Even without becoming Muslims, some of the persons named above could have engaged in terrorism. But security in the West, the Philippines, and elsewhere requires coming to terms with a very awkward fact: Conversion to Islam substantially increases the probability of a person’s involvement in terrorism.

[nw_arizona_granny]

? Why didn't they just telegraph everything to the terrorists. I just don't understand how anyone in the CIA could leak this and then ABC reports it. I'm just hoping it's false information. Doubtful.>>>>

Traitors or dis-information.

With 2 senators admitting in the last month that they went and told other countries that we were going to war in Iraq, one was Saudi, by Rockefeller, the other I forget, but they did it on TV and the links are on Free Republic.

I saw the Rockefeller here yesterday.

I still vote for floating ship prisons......Laughing.

What was it that they did not want the reporters to see or write about,,,,,,,,nuclear?

Exploding pens - following jihadi instructions on the internet????

That is going to be trouble: "Please, could I have your autograph", using the persons pen will be dangerous, but that is what always happens, they hand over a book, or paper and a pen, when caught on the fly.

Are the jihadi's are doing their "attack the schools" promise?

[nw_arizona_granny]

Exploding pens:

Remember about 2 months ago, in the general Los Angeles area, might have been the 'pen' towns, there were small bombs set off.

I am thinking of a woman walking down the side walk, who picked upa something, a paper bag I think and it exploded in her face.

At the same time, there were several reports, some maybe at the schools.

Apartment houses? or was that San Francisco?

Wasn't there some type of bomb or scare, when the riot went down a couple months ago, wasn't it a Black Panther, a Reverand somebody who showed up at the protest and got arrested????

all about that time.

I have already posted that I thought it might have been a way to take care of reporters, who had seen something, they didn't want out.

I see nothing in your report to change my mind.

Your report fits, what I expected.

Can't tell you why i feel that way, not thick enough
tinfoil, I guess.

I grieve for all the good Iranians that are trapped in Iran.



I think that I remember the prior crash, you may find that it was also a 'caused crash', I am thinking, that they needed to change some of the military to more evil leaders, as they have been doing lately.

Police Nail Suspect in Friday’s Threats (Connecticut Court House Bomb Threats 12/6/05)

BRISTOL -- Police said they are reviewing the tape of the bomb threat call Monday that forced the temporary closing of Bristol and New Britain Superior Courts in an attempt to identify the caller.

Both courts also had been closed Friday when bomb threats forced the evacuation and shutdown of Connecticut’s 45 courts.

Investigators believe that Friday’s bomb threat was a hoax designed to disrupt court business. State police arrested a 28-year-old Willimantic man on terrorism, threatening and related charges Monday, saying he was the one who called in the threats Friday. Javier Rodriguez was being held on $250,000 bond pending arraignment today in Danielson Superior Court. State police said they apprehended Rodriguez at his home without incident after obtaining an arrest warrant Monday, and said no other suspects were being sought. A motive was not released.

Good morning!

Did you notice that we were 2 and a half minutes apart, on posting Madrid bombs?

If I had not added the other stuff, I would have matched you.

Thanks for finding it, looks like a long day today, not a happy one for so many in the world.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Laughing, as I intended all of you to do.......

You should see the googles that i did and didn't post, for awhile, they were showing up faster than I could do the search......

The hard part will be in searching them.

Have a happy day.......

Your post on "incidents" today.....leaves me speechless.

I will have to think about this one, it is too much, the only thing that I get is "Tuesday".

Question for all, Laura and Neosgirl:

What is so special about Tuesday?

Wasn't 9-11 a Tuesday?

Is it the 7th on the other side of the world, while all this is going on?

Those here, could be following the more advanced date, as their heart is in the homeland, not in America.

I know that I am reaching and need more tinfoil to protect my brain.

Is it some holy day?

Or is it simply a display, to show us what they can do any place in the world, all at the same time?

A Whole Lotta Training Going On: Spanish
security forces link bomb hoaxes with Islamist radical activity

This is an important report - because I think the same thing may very well be going on here...

[nw_arizona_granny]

Zawahiri, throughout, addresses the Muslim masses and the mujahideen, calling for everyone to stand up in the name of jihad, and to attack oil reserves in Arabia. Likewise, he addresses westerners and in particular, Americans, asking them to sit and ask themselves clear, honest questions about their thoughts on their country’s policies, and the reasons behind past attacks from Muslims.


In closing, Zawahiri asks all media production and internet companies to release the interview in “all languages and as widely as possible.” "
<<<,<<<<<<<<

From the number of "incidents" today, I would say that they are following that part of the message.

Do be very careful......

From that, one would think that he got on the wrong airplane.

Someone may have taken a chance and fixed a plane to crash, then at the last minute the leader flew on a different plane.

That is too close to be a simple accident.

I skipped this batch of messages and read the last page, so am not catching up........
