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.

Sure folks get complacent with the fact we've not been further attacked

They don't know the thousands of incidents occuring here and all over with extremists and don't have a clue a major attack takes years to plan

~snips from this article I posted:

Activity at Sears Tower, Boeing probed

One officer said he was startled to learn that thousands of pounds of explosives are stolen every year in the United States, including 60,000 pounds in 2001

A sergeant who went through the training learned counterfeit cigarettes are considered a prime money-making venture for terrorists. He started looking for such activity and made arrests

"Woman, 75, uses knife, fork to fight off burglar"
WCNC-TV (Charlotte, NC) ^ | 3/17/06 | MARIA KOTULA Woman, 75, uses knife, fork to fight off burglar

Posted on 03/17/2006 1:01:15 PM PST by kiriath_jearim

"Woman, 75, uses knife, fork to fight off burglar"

07:42 PM EST on Thursday, March 16, 2006 By MARIA KOTULA / 6NEWS

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ROCK HILL, S.C. -- Rock Hill police are looking for a burglar who is preying on the elderly. Investigators said he targeted a woman and a man.

This is a case were the burglar probably thought he found the perfect victim. A little old lady too frail and too scared to fight back, boy was he wrong.

"I was trying to get his eye, but I missed," Maggie Robinson said.

Robinson is 75-years-old. She is petite and she lives alone. But those circumstances did not paralyze her with fear when a burglar kicked in her door Tuesday morning.

"He kept saying, where is your money? And he tried to go through my pockets and pulled my clothes off," Robinson said.

Robinson began hitting the intruder with her fist and in the scuffle she found a weapon.

"What did you grab?” 6NEWS asked.

"This fork, but he knocked it out of hands. Then I got this knife," Robinson said.

After the burglar knocked the knife away she said he grabbed her purse. That is when she threw a jar at him and he knocked over the TV.

Little did he know Robinson was trying to get to her gun in the other room.

She said the man finally took off on foot that is when she called police."

F.B.I. Data Collection

To the Editor:

"Justice Dept. Report Cites Intelligence-Rule Violations by F.B.I." (news article, March 9) reports that "problems appear to have grown more frequent" and that "the duration of the violations also grew."

In reality, the number of possible violations involving the F.B.I.'s use of intelligence authorities reported to the Intelligence Oversight Board decreased from 63 in 2004 to 45 in 2005, the time period cited in the article.

The inspector general revised calculations based on data errors and reported that the average duration actually decreased from 24 to 16 days. The median duration decreased from 16 to 8 days.

In addition, the reported 373-day collection overrun was also a data error in the original inspector general's report and was reduced to 58 days.

Many of the violations reported involved telephone companies providing content of a call even though the F.B.I.'s order authorized only collection of telephone numbers — a mistake outside the F.B.I.'s control.

In the case of the 181 calls, the F.B.I. discovered the mistake and moved quickly to shut down the collection. The content was immediately sealed and sequestered, and the matter was referred to the Intelligence Oversight Board, as required.

Most important, the inspector general found no instances by the F.B.I. of willful disregard for the law or for court orders.

Please ping your lists on this one!

BIG Anti-War Protest on Saturday! Join Peace Pledge Chicago and other groups

Were any of you involved in the downtown Immigration Protest last week? Over 100,000 people marched and many of the professional crowd counters stated there were twice that amount? Chicago can not be underestimated (though it seems like we are at mosts protests).

This week marks the third year anniversary of the war in Iraq. Over 100 organizations will be sponsoring this protest/call for withdrawal and PEACE. Activists take many forms...including those who hold peace as their focus. But this is a numbers game....when the collective consciousness (in action) reaches its critical mass it can and will catapult us into a new paradigm of being. We can disipate useless structures and mandates with our active consciousness and excersize the fluidity of diviness to bring peace of mind and being...for us and for all peoples. And we can do it in the name of peace and love.

BIG Anti-War Protest
On Saturday!

With pre-event coverage in the The Reader, the Tribune, the Sun-Times, on WVON, WBEZ and elsewhere, Saturday's protest is looking HUGE!

Please join over 100 endorsing organizations, the largest local peace coalition since the Vietnam War, to say:

End the War and Occupation

and

Bring the Troops Home Now!

The day will begin with over a dozen feeder marches (see http://chicagoactions.org/02-feedermarches.html for times and locations) leading into a 3 PM to 4:30 PM rally at Union Park, at Washington Blvd. and Ashland Avenue.

The Union Park rally will feature Congressman Luis Gutierrez, radio personality Cliff Kelley; Arab American activist Suzanne Adely; Illinois AFL-CIO vice president Elwood Flowers; anti-war activist Christina Martinez; Iraq military veteran Eric Ahlberg; Juan Torres, whose soldier son was kiled in Afghanistan; Palestinian American activist Gihad Ali; Abdul Malik Muajhid, chair of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago; Akua Njeri, the widow of assasinated Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton; and Anita Rico of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, whose group played a central role in organizing the mass march for immigrant rights in Chicago on March 10th.

At 6 PM the "Festival of Rights" rally at Walton & State Streets will be emceed by the Gay Liberation Network's
will feature Alderman Rick Munoz, civil rights attorney Stan Willis, and anti-Minuteman activist Sabah Khan

At 7 PM there will be a "Festival of Rights" march down Michigan Avenue
After almost 3 years' legal battle with the City of Chicago, peace demonstrators have finally won the right to march on Michigan Avenue. On March 20, 2003 at the start of the illegal U.S. invasion of Iraq, the City took revenge on anti-war protesters by arresting over 800 at the corner of Michigan and Chicago Avenues in the City's largest mass arrest in history.

Suspected Bomb Found In Goodwill Drop-Off Box
Police Say Donor Unknown, But Unsuspicious

NAPERVILLE, Ill. A worker sorting donations at the Naperville Goodwill store on Monday unpacked something she couldn't resell — a firecracker shaped like dynamite, according to Naperville police, who evacuated the office and drop-off area where the suspected explosive was found.
