Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - September 2006

[nwctwx]

Five Years Later, We're Still Not Safe
-Full Story-

In the five years since terrorists flew hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans have accepted inconvenience, sacrificed personal liberties and paid billions of dollars for a security clampdown that touches virtually every aspect of their lives.

And we're still not safe.

A close examination of the federal government's homeland security effort shows that there have been major accomplishments since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. But it also reveals how vulnerable the nation remains to catastrophe.

>>>That "4000" reference is *very* interesting.

The more I search, the more I think '4000' is a code:

Allah has existed for 4000 years.

Allah has 4000 names.

Imam Ali was over 60 when he fought against the Khwarij and in a single engagement killed 4000 of them. (A speech by Muqtada al Sadr's father-in-law.)

All from the first few pages of google:

Interesting stats:

~snippet~
According to ICE, there were about 766,000 people registered as of the end of 2005 in the database that tracks foreign students and exchange visitors, a system strengthened after Sept. 11.

Immigration authorities reviewed over 85,000 potential visa violations last year, referred more about 2,300 to the field for additional investigation and ultimately arrested 592 people.

Bush a failure and liar, says al-Zawahri in new video
29/09/2006 - 20:22:30

Al Qaida No 2 Ayman al-Zawahri condemned US President George Bush in a video statement released tonight, calling him a failure and a liar.

“Why don’t you tell them how many million citizens of America and its allies you intend to kill in search of the imaginary victory and in breathless pursuit of the mirage towards which you are driving your people’s sons in order to increase your profits?” al-Zawahri said in a portion of the video released by the Virginia-based IntelCenter.

The video was the latest to come from al-Zawahri for more than a fortnight.

Al Qaida released a string of videos for the anniversary of September 11, showing increasingly sophisticated production techniques in an apparent effort to demonstrate that it remains a powerful, confident force despite the US-led war on terror.

CNN, MSNBC etc. are reporting that the anticipated Al Zawahiri tape has been released. Laura Mansfield, on CNN is reporting that different sections feature different backgrounds. She believes it may be two tapes put together... the second one, apparently done quickly. An upright weapon is featured in one section. Zawahiri asks Christians to embrace Islam. Subjects covered are Bush, the Pope and Darfur as expected. Analysis is still be conducted. Mansfield said that Al Zawahiri concentrated somewhat on Khaled Sheikh Mohammed.

A Video Speech from Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri: Bush, the Pope of the Vatican, Darfur, and the Crusader Wars, by as-Sahab Productions

By SITE Institute
September 29, 2006

As-Sahab, al-Qaeda’s multimedia production arm, issued today, Friday, September 29, 2006, a 17:51 minute video speech featuring Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri and titled: “Bush, the Pope of the Vatican, Darfur, and the Crusader Wars”. The video features two scenes: one, subtitled in English, with Zawahiri against an office-setup background of a lamp, flag bearing “No God, but Allah”, and a model cannon; the other is without a background, and depicts Zawahiri dressed entirely in white, without subtitles.


To U.S. President George W. Bush, Zawahiri brands him a "deceitful charlatan" and liar, and questions: “why don't you tell them how many million citizens of America and it's allies you intend to kill in search of the imaginary victory and in breathless pursuit of the mirage towards which you are driving your people’s sons in order to increase your profits?” He questions his motives for initating the War in Iraq, ridiculing the false prexets under which it was conducted. To this end he cites the purported links of Saddam Hussein to al-Qaeda, and the presence of weapons of mass destruction. He also addresses the capture of Khalid Shaikh Muhammad and questions that if it helped in the "war on terror" then “why are your troops retreating in secrete from the south and east of Afghanistan?... Bush...be aware that the liberation of our captives is a debt on our shoulders which we must fulfill”. Other individuals who have been captured, such as Ramzi Yusef, Omar Abdul Rahman (the "Blind Sheikh") and Abu al-Faraj al-Libi are also cited.


In the Arabic portion, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri discusses the issue of the Pope Benedict XVI's slanderous comments to Islam and the Prophet Muhammad, by prefacing such attacks as beginning with the Satanic Verses of Salmon Rushdie, followed by desecration of the Qur'an at Guantanamo Bay, and banning of the hijab in French schools. He states that the current pope is reminiscent of Pope Urban II, who "provoked the people of Europe to fight the Muslims" in the Crusades. Zawahiri disregards Christianity due to its "supersitions" and alleged irrationality, but avers that Muslims are not enemies of Jesus as Pope Urban II claimed. On the pope's comments directly, Zawahiri adds: "if Benedict attacked us, we will respond to his insults with good things. We will call upon him, and all of the Christians to become Muslims who do not recognize the Trinity or the crucifixion, and say that Allah united with the human."

New Video Released With Al Qaeda #2 Ayman al-Zawahiri
By Andrew Cochran

The new video, promised earlier this week, is out, in which Zawahiri attacks Pope Benedict XVI and President Bush a "lying failure" and "deceitful charlatan." You can see it thanks to Laura Mansfield. Rita Katz of SITE Institute has a one-minute clip for non-subscribers, the picture below, and this analysis: "As-Sahab, al-Qaeda’s multimedia production arm, issued today, Friday, September 29, 2006, a 17:51 minute video speech featuring Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri and titled: “Bush, the Pope of the Vatican, Darfur, and the Crusader Wars”. He appears in two scenes: one, subtitled in English, with an office-setup background with a lamp, flag bearing “No God, but Allah”, and a cannon; the other is without a background, and depicts Zawahiri dressed entirely in white, without subtitles. To U.S. President George W. Bush, Zawahiri questions: “why don't you tell them how many million citizens of America and it's allies you intend to kill in search of the imaginary victory and in breathless pursuit of the mirage towards which you are driving your people’s sons in order to increase your profits?” He also addresses the capture of Khalid Shaikh Muhammad and questions that if it helped in the "war on terror" then “why are your troops retreating in secrete from the south and east of Afghanistan?... Bush...be aware that the liberation of our captives is a debt on our shoulders which we must fulfill”."

Zawahiri also names other important captured Al Qaeda leaders: "You’ve captured Ramzi Yousef, Umar Abd al-Rahman, Wali Khan, Ibn al-Shayhk, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Khalid al-Shaykh, Abu al-Faraj al-Libi..." This finishes a busy month of September for Al Qaeda central, which began with the Zawahiri video with American Adam Gadahn, then two 9/11-related videos, one with Zawahiri and another video with clips of Osama Bin Laden.

>>>Bush...be aware that the liberation of our captives is a debt on our shoulders which we must fulfill”."

An interesting concept.
Some are in Guantanamo, some in Colorado - where else?
