Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-Five

Unrest in Pakistan Setback for Terror War
(Full Story)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A week of unprecedented urban fighting in the wild tribal belt of North Waziristan has left scores dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, raising the stakes in Pakistan's war on Islamic militancy along the Afghan border.

A jumbled alliance of foreign militants, local tribesmen and Islamic students eager for jihad have stepped up resistance in a region where the army already claims to have wiped out al-Qaida as a viable fighting force.

The unrest, brewing for months, is a setback to the U.S.-led war on terror. Further hampering that effort are deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Afghan claims that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Pakistan and suicide bombers are training here.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CAIRO, March 18 (Reuters) - An Egyptian woman has died of bird flu, the country's first human victim of the virus, Egypt's health ministry said on Saturday.

It said a 30-year-old woman from Qaloubiyah province, about 40 kms (25 miles) north of Cairo, was taken ill on Wednesday.

"They (doctors) took samples for analysis at the ministry of health laboratories ... They confirmed she was infected with bird flu. She died on Friday morning," a health ministry statement said, adding the woman had been given Tamiflu, a drug used to treat suspected cases of bird flu.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed that Egypt had reported its first human case of bird flu."


ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "The highly pathogenic H5N1 strain has been found in birds in 18 of the country's 26 governorates."

From the thread:

To: Termite_Commander; sure_fine

I read an article last week, which said the wild flocks have migrated from Asia and Russia, up into Canada, and have mixed with their flocks, and will be migrating into Alaska and down into the US. Apparently the INTEL SATs are keeping watch on the giant flock movements.

It's coming here by end of summer, the article states.

Thanks, Lucy.

I went through the Swine Flu scare years ago. Then there was the Hong Kong flu. I refuse to work up a sweat over this. I've even seen recent news stories hinting the scare may be overblown. The MSM is starting the CYA operation. Sure it's weeping the globe and a GOzillion birds have been killed, but not many humans.

[ExSoldier]

That would be SWEEPING not weeping.

four federal agents were shot dead in the middle of the afternoon on Avenida Guerrero.

Prayers for the families of the federal agents killed in the line of duty.

From an official Mexican travel site: Armed street crime is a serious problem in all of the major cities. Some bars and nightclubs, especially in resort cities such as Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Acapulco, can be havens for drug dealers and petty criminals. Some establishments may contaminate or drug drinks to gain control over the patron.

Hicks linked to shoe bomber

AUSTRALIAN terrorist suspect David Hicks has admitted to British intelligence agents that he trained with terrorists including "shoe bomber" Richard Reid, UK authorities said.

The Guantanamo Bay detainee also is said to have told MI5 agents who interrogated him in 2003 that he received extensive training at camps in Kashmir and Afghanistan and met the late Abu Hafs, an al-Qaeda kingpin who prior to his death in 2001 was named as the successor to Osama bin Laden.

Papers give glimpse of Al Qaeda recruits

Snip: Recruits at Osama bin Laden's terrorist training camps in Afghanistan were clamoring for suicide missions against the United States more than a year before the Sept. 11 attacks, according to al-Qaida documents declassified by the U.S. Defense Department.

Chemical alert closes UK cinema

Snip: A FULL-scale chemical alert was launched at Hollywood Green cinema on Friday night after customers complained of breathing difficulties. Wood Green came to a standstill shortly after 8pm as firefighters, working with scientific support and police, reacted to the incident in the same manner as a chemical terror attack.

Update on US antrax immunization project

Snip: Officials at the U.S. Health and Human declined to discuss the VaxGen situation, but noted they've stockpiled enough antibiotics to treat 40 million people after a large-scale anthrax bioterrorism attack.

Scientists crack botulism toxin

Snip: Scientists have pinpointed exactly how botulinum neurotoxin A - a potential agent of biological warfare and one of the most lethal toxins known to man - is able to sneak into cells.

Terror lab still unbuilt 4 years after funding

Snip: A permanent local lab could run tests in as little as 20 minutes. New mobile units are intended to put a sophisticated lab within three hours reach of anywhere in the state. Typically, specimens are sent to the state's biosafety level-3 lab in Lionville, Chester County. "In the best of circumstances, [that] probably takes us 12 hours and usually takes us 36," Dr. Dixon said.
