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.

Glad you're OK, Ian.

Meteorology?

hehe, you'd think.

No, I was doing political science, but I was hoping I would be able to focus more on the terrorism aspect. The school ended up being much more state focused, and concerned with preparing people to be teachers. At this point, I would have been happier with a more policy oriented program. I'm likely going to start looking into jobs in the field now, but I'm not sure there is much availabe in this immediate area... so a move to NYC or DC might be in the future.

'Europeans should create Jewish State'

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continued his anti-Israel rhetoric Thursday afternoon, denying the Holocaust and calling on Germany and Austria to create a Jewish State within their borders, Israel Radio reported.

"We do not believe that Hitler killed six million Jews, but even if this is true by some chance, then why should the Palestinians pay the price for it," he asked, and suggested that the governments in Vienna and Berlin concede two or three provinces to the Zionists and settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict once and for all.

"If Germany and Austria feel responsible that the Jewish people suffered at their hands during the Second World War, then all they should do is create a Zionist State in their territory," he said in a television interview in Teheran.

Interesting connects I'm making today and had to share this find sis:
(It outlines 2 researches and possibly that personal close connection + a friend)

Wednesday 7 December 2005
Judeoscope - Jamaat al-Muslimeen CONGRATULATES Prof. Sami Al-Arian
Jamaat al-Muslimeen is a radical Islamist organization operating in Canada and the USA

This is indeed a slap in the face for Emerson and O’Reilly who worked hard and long to defame and smear Prof. Al-Arian. A totally innocent man has been degraded and demeaned and humiliated for years simply because he is a Palestinian and wants Palestine to prosper.

[Personal congratulations go out from Dr. Kaukab Siddique and Imam Badi Ali [North Carolina] to Prof. Al-Arian and his children, Abdullah and Laylah. His children were so wonderful in that entire ordeal! All Muslims should be proud of them.]

Jamaat al-Muslimeen urges Muslims of America: BREAK YOUR SILENCE, SPEAK OUT OPENLY and CLEARLY against the Zionist oppressors who have taken over America. Prof. Al-Arian had never done anything against America. He suffered simply because he is an Islamic Palestinian. Don’t be afraid, dear Muslims, come out and speak against the oppressors, as the Prophet, pbuh, commanded Hassan ibn Thabit, r.a: Do the Hujw [poetic analysis and condemnation] of the oppressors.

[Remember that the Zionists will not give up Prof. Al-Arian easily though they have lost a major battle.]

Cats are so funny. I am allergic to them so we have none in the house. But we have anywhere from 10-20 cats around our house all strays but one.

One of my yankee neighborers informed me they were feral (I had to look that up) in common terms wild. They bring moles, mice, squirrels, birds and some un-identifiable creatures to our front door and sit and wait till we see them. The cats sit there so proud of there kill. As soon as we see it and brag on them they take them away.

Press Release
December 8, 2005
Washington D.C.
FBI National Press Office
(202) 324-3691

On December 2, 2005, an Egyptian male was detained by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials while passing through a security checkpoint at JFK Airport in New York City. Preliminary field testing of the individual's shoes showed a positive hit for explosive materials being contained in the shoes. The shoes were confiscated by TSA officials and turned over to the FBI for further analysis.

Analysis of the shoes was performed at the FBI Laboratory and it was determined that no explosive materials were present in the passenger's shoes. This individual was also interviewed by Special Agents of the FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Waterloo, Iowa, and it was determined that he poses no security threat.

And in the summer of 2007, it is scheduled to be demolished.

The end is coming for the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, which
for more than 65 years has borne
more traffic and superlatives than
most bridges on Earth. The
double-deck structure - a hybrid of
two suspension spans, a cantilever
section and a truss bridge - remains
the busiest bridge in the nation,
carrying more than 270,000 vehicles a day. <<<<

Now I understand why the Bay Bridge was issued a threat.

Thank you.
