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.

Hello, we missed you.

I do hope that good things have been happening to/for you while you were missing.

It does not bother me at all, that the thread hasn't changed.

Laughing: I tried hard to fill it up, now you want to move on......

Have a very Merry Christmas.

Not to worry, our nation's politicians are now working on banning the explosives used in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.

There's a ban on fertilizer and fuel oil in the works? One at a time or both together?

A California man has been cited for bringing three ground squirrels into the United States...

He's obviously nuts. lol Sorry, couldn't help it.

[ExSoldier]

So as MSK committed his acts of rape while visiting Australia, he was simply perpetuating his own cultural heritage. He hails from a society where officially sanctioned sexual violence is commonly employed as a means to enforce the subservience of women.

The crimes were committed in a society that sets it's citizens up as helpless victims by denying them the means of self defense. I would almost argue that the gun control attitude of Australia is almost a form of rape in and of itself.

`Shift Israel to Alaska'

Tehran, Dec. 14: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on
Wednesday the
Holocaust is a "myth" that Europeans have used to create a Jewish state
in
the heart of the Islamic world.
Speaking to thousands of people in the southeastern city of Zahedan, Mr
Ahmadinejad said, "Today, they have created a myth in the name of
Holocaust
and consider it to be above God, religion and the prophets."

Mr Ahmadinejad provoked an international outcry in October when he
called
for Israel to be "wiped off the map." Previously he expressed doubt
about
the Nazi destruction of European Jewry during the World War II, but on
Wednesday was the first occasion when he said in public that it was a
myth.

The comments came after Mr Ahmadinejad said in a speech that "they have
invented a myth that Jews were massacred" and said the Jewish state
should
be moved as far away as Alaska. Touring southeast Iran, Mr Ahmadinejad
said
that if Europeans insist the Holocaust did happen, then it was they who
were
responsible and they should pay the price.

"If you committed this big crime, then why should the oppressed
Palestinian
nation pay the price?" Mr Ahmadinejad asked rhetorically.
"This is our proposal: If you committed the crime, then give a part of
your
own land in Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska to them
(Jews) so that the Jews can establish their country," he said,
developing a
theme he raised in Saudi Arabia last week.

Mr Ahmadinejad said the West had harmed Muslims, invaded their
countries and
plundered their wealth. "If your civilisation consists of aggression,
making
oppressed people homeless, suffocating the voices of justice and
bringing
poverty to a majority of the world's people, we say loudly that we hate
your
hollow civilisation," he said.

The President's views sharply conflict with those of his predecessor
Mohammad Khatami, a moderate who used to call for dialogue among
civilisations and promoted a low-key understanding with the United
States
that stopped short of diplomatic relations.

Inside Iran, Mr Ahmadinejad's remarks have been criticised by some of
his
Conservative allies who fear he is hurting the country's image.

Yes, lack of guns, does make for a meek citizen, but the rioters in Australia, managed to shoot a man in the back and wreck 100 cars with baseball bats.

Did you see the work that Founding Father and I did a few days ago, most do not know that the muslims are raping here in America, and getting away with it.

I haven't searched for the Michigan records, but have read of the rapes.

Our posts start about 4619 and go to 4645, maybe further, they are mixed in with other posts....(of this thread)

I almost find rape as evil as be-heading, and it is ok with them.

[ExSoldier]

It wouldn't surprise me in the least that this madman is offering up his entire country as a sacrifice to truly start global jihad. Israel will attack, that is a virtual certainty. But Iran apparently wants to make sure. If they are able to raise the rhetoric to sufficient levels, Israel may well go into panic mode and resort to their own nukes in a pre-emptive strike. I think that could well lure Russia into an Eziekiel 38 response. Gog & Magog on the march. Iran will be a smoking radioactive bit of fused glass, but I can't think of anything more antagonistic to the arab world, and indeed to the UN (antisemetic to start with) as a whole. God is waiting for the whole world to turn on and condemn his people. The prophesy is clear: HE will act. I can't wait to watch his big show.

New Security Realities and al-Qaeda's Changing Tactics: An
Interview with Saad al-Faqih

Dr. Saad al-Faqih heads the Saudi opposition group, Movement for Islamic Reform in
Arabia (MIRA), and is a widely acknowledged expert on al-Qaeda. Terrorism Monitor
Editor Mahan Abedin conducted this interview December 12, 2005 in London.

Mahan Abedin: What is the latest information on terrorism in Saudi Arabia?

Saad al-Faqih: The latest general trend is that the jihadis have abandoned their previous
tactics of targeting Westerners and the security forces. The jihadis are now focusing all
their attention on the royal family. Two factors have driven this change. Firstly, the
jihadis had previously avoided targeting the royals for fear of offending Muslim
sensibilities. But now they believe that the prevailing opinion in Saudi Arabia—and
probably in the wider Muslim world—is that the royal family is infidel and deserves harsh
treatment. Secondly, the jihadis have finally overcome their fear of a secular takeover in
the event of the sudden downfall of the House of Saud. Somebody told me that in the
late 1990s bin Laden used to say that if the House of Saud is removed, the country will
fall into the hands of secular forces. But now al-Qaeda believes that the regime is
behaving far worse than a would-be secular system, because it is gradually destroying
Islam under the banner of a false Islam. Al-Qaeda has reached the conclusion that the
sudden collapse of the regime will either invite foreign interference or chaos. Both
scenarios are now favored by the jihadis, who have learned great lessons in the Iraq
theater over the past 33 months. In fact the jihadis would welcome an American
invasion, knowing full well that it will provide a massive recruitment opportunity for
them and hence they will be the ultimate winners, as they think they are proving to be
in Iraq.

MA: How has the political transition (i.e. death of King Fahd) affected the struggle
between the regime and al-Qaeda?

SF: The transition has little to do with al-Qaeda; in fact al-Qaeda is not in the least bit
interested in these developments. The only way al-Qaeda would become interested is if a
very serious and open dispute between the leading royals broke out. But this has not
happened, not yet anyways. Moreover, there is no division in the regime when it comes
to al-Qaeda; all the top figures of the regime, namely Abdullah, Sultan and Nayef, are
determined to eradicate al-Qaeda. They are also in favor of maintaining the regime's
dependence on America.

MA: But presumably al-Qaeda is monitoring developments inside the regime very closely
and the decision on the timing of any assassination attempt against a leading figure
would surely be determined by these internal developments.

SF: Al-Qaeda will certainly exploit any open divisions in the regime. In fact Abdullah's
ascension will most likely result in open disputes, and this will benefit the jihadis. But in
terms of target selection, at the very highest levels of al-Qaeda, targets are discussed
and selected very carefully. But at the local leadership level, quite a few clumsy
decisions have been made in the recent past. And of course at the operational level there
is now a very tenuous link between bin Laden and his advisers and the local al-Qaeda
leadership in Saudi Arabia.

MA: When is an attack likely to take place?

SF: If you read Zarqawi's statement after the incidents at Dammam a few months ago,
you get the impression that something is going to happen very soon. Zarqawi is clearly
after revenge after what happened to his brothers in Dammam.

MA: I have a couple of questions on the Internet. Firstly do you think that the jihadis
now see the Internet as the most important battle space?

SF: Only the jihadis in Iraq.

MA: Why?

SF: Because the only place on earth where the jihadis feel safe is Iraq. The Internet used
to be awash with jihadi material but this is becoming less so for two reasons. Firstly,
Western intelligence services are now aggressively targeting jihadi websites and are
showing a greater determination to close them down completely. In the past they would
allow some of the more interesting ones to remain in operation so that they could
covertly gather intelligence on the webmasters and the contributors. Dozens of websites
have been closed in recent months. Secondly, Western governments have provided
software and other expertise to the Saudi regime to trace individual contributors to web
forums. But the jihadis in Iraq feel safe and secure because they have satellite Internet
connections and they can set up temporary websites and upload files very easily. The
invasion of Iraq has boosted the fortunes of jihadis in many respects, and the Internet is
no exception.

MA: Are you saying the Americans are providing the Saudi authorities with the requisite
technology to trace contributors to jihadi websites?

SF: Precisely! The problem is that the Saudis are using the technology to trace and
detain non-jihadi authors and contributors as well. In fact several people connected to
our organization have been detained in recent months as a result of the transfer of
technological expertise.

MA: What happens to these people after they are detained?

SF: Firstly they conduct a thorough search of their computers to trace all their
communications and contacts. The detainees are then subjected to prolonged and tough
interrogations.

MA: Are they subsequently released?

SF: No, they remain in detention because the Saudis now consider a wide-range of
people as critical security threats.

MA: How many forum users have been arrested?

SF: The figures are no less then 2,000, but this includes both jihadi and non-jihadi
forum contributors.

MA: Do you think the jihadis are trying to consolidate their assets on the Internet? I
refer specifically to the emergence of the "Global Islamic Media Front".

SF: I think this Global Islamic Media Front is just a name. The jihadis have used
over-arching and inclusive names like this before. In any case the jihadis do not need to
consolidate their resources, because the existing set-up works quite well.

MA: I have a few questions on Afghanistan. Do you believe the Taliban insurgency is
intensifying?

SF: Yes it is. The spread

Thanks, but it might be better if God just took care of the evil ones and left us a world of peace.

The only sure way to sort out the evil ones is with a noose at the end of a rope or a bullet.

New Osama Bin Laden Video Reportedly Released
IntelCenter, one of the groups which searches for and translates terrorists' videos, is announcing the reported release of a new Osama Bin Laden video, which would be the first such sighting in over a year. The problem is that no reliable media source has the video as of this posting. Evan Kohlmann told me that there has been no prior announcement by Al Qaeda of the release of this video, as has been Al Qaeda's standard practice. With IntelCenter's permission (which I appreciate), I am reprinting the entire text of their e-mail release on the video, as follows:

A company whose customer once upon a time hosted an al-Qaida site...
...would like you to know that they removed the site from their server.

In fact, they did that months ago, and the site is listed as 'inactive' in our database. Nevertheless:

WWW.APLUSWEB.NET IS NO LONGER INVOLVED IN ANY WAY WITH ALQASEM.INFO

Is that perfectly clear?
