Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-Five

Posted on 03/09/2006 10:08:04 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
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.

I'll say this, they're not in danger and either are the reactors. It's somewhat worse than the story says and the investigation is much more than the report spells out.

Just can't talk specifics.....

Russia, Islamic world dialog expected to form strategic alliance

by Erafzon S.A.S.

Moscow (ANTARA News) - Russia, formerly part of the dissolved superpower Soviet Union, has drawn international attention by hosting a dialog on "Strategic Vision, Russia - The Islamic World" here on March 27-28, 2006.

Present in the dialog were 17 Islamic leaders from Muslims populated countries and a representative of Rabithah Al Islami. The meeting was organized by a Russian NGO, but in fact the organizer was a former government official in this state.

CHURCH’S FURNITURE TORCHED IN PAKISTAN

By Sheraz Khurram Khan
Special Correspondent for Assist News Service in Pakistan

MULTAN, PAKISTAN (ANS) -- Some unidentified people attacked a church in Mianchannu, a small town of district Multan on Thursday night, March 30.
According to the AFP a group of people allegedly broke into the church and set to fire its furniture.


“We have started an investigation into the incident but we think it was designed to create religious unrest in the area” the AFP quoted a local police official as saying.


Amid the tense situation in the town a local Christian politician told the AFP that the attack was meant to create conflict between the local Christian community and Muslims.


In February, a church’s door and windows were torched in Sargodha, whereas a church was torched in Sukkur and the other was ransacked by a Muslim mob over rumors that Quran, the Muslim holy book had been desecrated.


The fresh attack on a church in Mianchannu situated in the eastern Punjab province of Pakistan calls for employing strict measures to thwart possible attacks on churches in the country.

"Minutemen Gather for New Campaigns"
NewsMax.com Wires
Sunday, April 2, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "THREE POINTS, Ariz. -- Minuteman volunteers concerned over the continued flow of illegal immigrants across the border from Mexico gathered Saturday with lawn chairs, binoculars and cell phones for a new monthlong campaign aimed at raising public awareness of the issue.

A year after their first watch-and-report operation along the border in southeastern Arizona, members of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps embarked on a much larger effort in the busy migrant-smuggling corridor."

"Police suspect terrorist infiltration; alert declared"
By YIGAL GRAYEFF AND JPOST.COM STAFF

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A terror alert was declared in the Lower Galilee on Sunday morning after intelligence sources revealed that a potential terrorist might have infiltrated into Israeli territory.

He was reported to have entered near Afula, and was suspected to be making his way to Beit Shean to execute an attack.

Situation rooms were established both in Afula and Beit Shean from where police and IDF forces were handling the alert.

They set up roadblocks in the region and were inspecting each passing car individually in order to locate the attacker. Heavy traffic jams resulted.

Police requested the drivers to be patient and to follow their instructions."

Gaza: Slaying spurs factional violence

A car bomb assassination followed by a shoot out at the funeral. Just another day in Gaza City. From the Chicago Tribune:

GAZA CITY -- A Palestinian militant with ties to Hamas was killed in a car bomb Friday, unleashing factional unrest that left three others dead and 35 wounded, in the first direct threat to the Islamic group's new government.
Followers of the militant blamed security forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement for the assassination, raising the possibility of wider clashes just two days after Hamas assumed power.

Abu Yousef Abu Quka was a senior commander of the Popular Resistance Committees, an umbrella group of about 200 gunmen that has been linked to attacks on Israeli tanks and a deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic convoy in 2003.

About half the gunmen are allied with Hamas, including Abu Quka, and the other half with Fatah. Abu Quka's supporters blamed the Fatah-dominated Preventive Security Services for his assassination; a shootout at his funeral resulted in the three additional deaths and 35 injuries...

"Hole discovered drilled into pipe at nuclear reactor"

Associated Press

FLORIDA CITY --

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The nuclear reactor, one of two at the Miami-Dade County power plant, had been shut down for a routine refueling, FPL spokeswoman Rachel Scott said.

The 1/8-inch hole was discovered late Thursday during a series of tests and inspections performed before bringing the unit back online, Scott said.

Other maintenance work had been performed in the area where the hole was found, Scott said.

FPL, the state's largest electric utility, repaired the damaged piping and, though the company's investigation continues, plans to bring the unit back into service in about a week, she said.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and FBI are also conducting their own investigations.

"We want to make sure that we do a very thorough investigation and that we evaluate all possibilities," Scott said."
