Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - September 2006

Posted on 09/01/2006 8:57:29 PM PDT by nwctwx

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

Radioactive Scare in North London
A Channel News (Canada) ^ | 9.6.06 | Julie Simpson

Posted on 09/07/2006 9:59:28 AM PDT by gopwinsin04

The search continued today for a missing London woman after a strange series of events which led to the stunning discovery of radioactive materials iher north end home last night. ( Sept 5th ).

Police have been scouring the city's north end and have even brought in a helicopter to help in the search for 68 year old Annette Serdarevich who suffers from dementia.

The area around 1643 Kathryn Ave. was shut down for most of the night as the hazardous materials unit responded to a level three emergency - the most serious type.

During a search of the premises, police found a chemistry lab in the rear of the house.

They found small quantities of radioactive materials and other chemicals stored in a refrigerator in the home.

As a precaution many neighbouring homes were evacuated.

A private chemical disposal company worked through the night to dispose of the contaminants.

The missing woman wasn't at the home when officers arrived looking for her yesterday.

However, her husband, 82-year-old Bogdan Serdarevich, was found in the residence in poor physical condition and was rushed to hospital.

Annette Serdarevich has been missing now for three days.

She's 68-years old, white, five feet seven inches tall and weighs about 140 pounds.

She has short dyed blond hair.

Police say she may not be aware of her surroundings and may appear disoriented.

If you have any information, you're asked to call London police at 519-661-5670 or 911.

Hi Cindy, thought you'd enjoy this.

The United Nations is facing two major instances of defiance from Islamic regimes, and it shows little willingness to act collectively against either."

UN pandering to these Islamic regimes absolutely makes them feel stronger (maybe even invincible).

Why we bother participating in a group of nations that consistently vetoes everything we stand for is beyond me (and that's not even bringing up 1) their inability to complete assigned tasks; and 2) the corruption within the UN. The food for oil scandal has been swept under the proverbial rug and the perpetrators of the scandal are apparently still running the store when resignations and reparations would have been a rational response. Sighing and shaking head in disbelief. No wonder the axis of evil countries have no respect for UN leadership and their requests.

AQ's new chief threatens new attacks in Iraq

Snip: Iraq said the country's Sunni politicians were treacherous and warned of more attacks against U.S.-led forces there, according to an Internet audio tape posted on Thursday.

"The fire has not and will not be put out and our swords, which have been colored with your blood are thirsty for more of your rotting heads," said the speaker, identified in the recording as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir

A Muslim's warning to America

Snip: "Wake up!... You can't let (Muslim) ideology become the dominant one in the world. Already the nordic races are disappearing...It's the same in the US. You are being invaded by illegal immigrants, diluting your country to the point of fracture. Muslims are multiplying like rabbits while you are busy in family planning and aborting the babies that CAN be born. Do you think any amount of technological superiority will be able to guarantee your supremacy in the face of 1-to-10 numerical inferiority? How will you maintain your identity as a nation when English is replaced by Spanish as the national language? Already there are school systems in the southern states that are teaching pupils in Spanish. Do your people not see this as a loss of national identity?

CAIR attempting to whitewash 9-11 in textbooks

Snip: Some Muslims say the texts unfairly paint all people of their faith as terrorists. They say frequent references to “Arab terrorists,” “Muslim terrorists,” “Muslim extremists,” or “Islamic fundamentalists” give schoolchildren a negative impression of their religion.

New York City remains a ripe target

Snip: Five years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center, Islamic extremists - including members of Hezbollah - still view the city as a prime target for another terrorist strike, police officials warned Thursday.

The threat “is a permanent condition, and in all likelihood will worsen,” the New York Police Department’s top counterterrorism official, Richard Falkenrath, told an audience of private security executives.

“It’s a very sobering conclusion and I don’t reach it at all happily, but I do think it is true,” he said. The NYPD summoned the executives to offer the terrorism threat assessment and to outline security measures for the upcoming United Nations General Assembly.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said there were no specific threats involving the annual U.N. event opening Sept. 12. But guarding the concentration of world leaders “always is a large undertaking for us,” he said.

Treasury Designation Targets Hizballah’s Bank

The U.S. Department of the Treasury today designated two financial companies and one individual that provide financial support to the Iran-funded Hizballah terrorist network.

"Bayt al-Mal and the Yousser Company function as Hizballah's unofficial treasury, holding and investing its assets and serving as intermediaries between the terrorist group and mainstream banks," said Stuart Levey, Treasury's Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence (TFI). "Institutions considering dealing with these two entities are now on notice as to their true character."

Bayt al-Mal and Yousser Company for Finance and Investment, and Bayt al-Mal head Husayn al-Shami were named as Specially Designated Global Terrorists pursuant to Executive Order 13224, designed to deter financial and material support to terrorists and their facilitators.

Bayt al-Mal is a Hizballah-controlled organization that performs financial services for the terrorist organization. Bayt al-Mal operates under the direct supervision of Hizballah Secretary General Hasan Nasrallah. As Hizballah's main financial body, Bayt al-Mal serves as a bank, creditor, and investment arm for Hizballah. The central headquarters of Bayt al-Mal was located in Hizballah's stronghold in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Bayt al-Mal utilizes the Yousser Company for Finance and Investment to secure loans and finance business deals for Hizballah companies.

Husayn al-Shami, the head of Bayt al-Mal, is a senior Hizballah leader who has served as a member of Hizballah's Shura Council and as the head of several Hizballah-controlled organizations, including the Islamic Resistance Support Organization. Shami is also responsible for foreign donations to Hizballah fundraising organizations.

Today's action prohibits transactions between U.S persons and the designated entities and also freezes any assets those entites may have under U.S. jurisdiction.

Background on Hizballah

Hizballah is a Lebanon-based terrorist group. Until September 11, 2001, Hizballah was responsible for more American deaths than any other terrorist organization.

Hizballah is closely allied with Iran and often acts at its behest, but it also can and does act independently. Though Hizballah does not share the Syrian regime's secular orientation, the group has been a strong ally in helping Syria advance its political objectives in the region.

Iran and Syria provide significant support to Hizballah, giving money, weapons and training to the terrorist organization. In turn, Hizballah is closely allied with and has an allegiance to these states. Iran is Hizballah's main source of weapons and uses its Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to train Hizballah operatives in Lebanon and Iran. Iran provides hundreds of millions of dollars per year to Hizballah.

The Majlis al-Shura, or Consultative Council, is the group's highest governing body and has been led by Secretary General Hasan Nasrallah since 1992. Hizballah is known or suspected to have been involved in numerous terrorist attacks throughout the world, including the suicide truck bombings of the U.S. Embassy and U.S. Marine Corps barracks in Beirut in 1983 and the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut in September 1984. Hizballah also executed the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847 en route from Athens to Rome. Most recently, in July 2006 Hizballah fighters precipitated a violent conflict that resulted in scores of civilian casualties in Lebanon and Israel.

On January 25, 1995, the Annex to the Executive Order 12947 listed Hizballah as a Specially Designated Terrorist (SDT). The Department of State designated Hizballah as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in 1997. Additionally, on October 31, 2001, Hizballah was designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224.

CNN: 'Suspicious Device' Found in Vehicle at Pentagon

CNN is reporting that what they call a 'suspicious device' has been found in a vehicle in the south parking lot at the Pentagon.

CNN's Pentagon reporter, Jaime McIntyre, is reporting on the air that the device has what police believe to be some sort of detonator attached to it.

According to 11Alive's sister station, WUSA Washington, the Pentagon has released a statement: "During regular Pentagon parking lot patrol, a car was found to have suspicious characteristics, in the south parking. We've cordoned off the area, re-routed traffic and are continuing to investigate.

Officials say the incident is forcing the re-routing of traffic in the area at the height of rush hour, and may be affecting subway traffic in the area.
