Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - August 2006

Posted on 08/01/2006 9:51:52 PM PDT by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Syria Tells Troops to Be Ready for Battle
(Full Story)

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has placed his military on full alert, citing "regional challenges", and vowed to continue supporting the "Palestinian and Lebanese resistance more than ever".

In a speech to mark the Syrian Army national day, Mr Assad said the volatile situation across the Middle East required "vigilance, preparation and readiness" and ordered all units of the armed forces to be on alert.

The comments were interpreted by Israel as a morale booster to the Syrian armed forces and not a call to battle. Israeli intelligence chiefs have assessed that Syria is not in the mood for an open war and is instead content to resupply Hezbollah guerillas in Lebanon.

Keep trying to change the flight - although at this point, the plot may be thwarted enough.

Praying for the safe return of your son.

Are you going into the city tomorrow?

Let us know how security is.

Has anybody seen the Fruit Vendor lately?

Yes. I'll be going in tomorrow. The security was actually stepped up on NJ Transit earlier this evening. The fruit vendor still in the same spot, though the stand has changed hands (or should I say turbans) several times.

I wonder if we'll ever hear the entire story.

Tonight by the Blue Ridge Parkway there were more 'police' cars than I have seen in the entire past five years. There had to be at least ten of them in a ten mile segment.

What is happening in the cities? Similar?

UPDATE: OREGON

BREAKING NEWS Salem Police Locate Third Suspected Bomb

(SALEM ) - Salem area bomb teams have responded to a third report of a suspicious explosive device today. Police Lt. Debbie Baker says the device was located by a passing motorist at Woodside Drive and Jon Mart in South Salem.


Baker says their police bomb team disrupted this one, which is a term used when officers try to breech the bomb. "Sometimes they explode, sometimes it goes better."


She says law enforcement in Salem is very concerned. This is the third suspected bomb found in Salem today, and so far none of them appear to be fake.(snip)

Lots of police visible here in DC, but that's usually the case... I am not sure I noticed anything different today, but I skipped out on the subway.

One caught at the airport? He was most likely just researching for a exam on air carriers for his studies don't you know??? Sheesh! Why do we let these Arab types in here to be "students?" Will this country ever learn? How they must laugh at us.

You're welcome Cindy - in light of today's news, one would hope the MSM and many liberals "get a clue." There were terrorist attacks on America and Americans years before we were involved in Iraq.

(Cynthia McKinney) No longer a threat!

But an article on a different FR thread indicated her bodyguards (trained in martial arts) were a threat AFTER her defeat!

With the explosion of computer personal data thefts, wouldn't it be prudent if our government established a LIFE SENTENCE for those found to have been involved in such theft (doing the stealing or the buying of information) - with no clemency or chance of parole? It would be fitting punishment for criminals or sleezy people who cause so much anxiety to so many people's lives.

Many threads ago, I posted that I had concern about being able to carry on board hair spray or other containers that could easily contain other liquids. Many liquids can be dumped and filled with other solutions...and now that they've once again allowed matches (combined with flammables...)

Not having access to my makeup and lipstick - now that is utterly frightening. I woke up post-surgery once and asked for my lipstick (really I did). My daughter-in-law still mentions it. There are just some things tough to be without.

Just guys being guys, I bet.
Fun in the sun in summer.

If Iran hit's Israel with a nuke on the 22nd, count on getting a massive strike here on home soil nearly simultaneously. What do you think?

Good possibility. I have concerns about attack via Venezuela and/or Cuba as well, since we are "preoccupied" with Israel. This is a time we need to have eyes in the back of our heads.

Yep.
OPINION: All mass transportation should have extra-security/heightened alerts.
