Threat Matrix: November 2006

Posted on 11/01/2006 8:20:24 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
The Price of Victory
-Full Story-

The "bombshell" revelation from last April's National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which was leaked to the New York Times in September, was that the war in Iraq had resulted in more terrorism, not less. As reported by United Press International's Claude Salhani, "Did we really need 16 intelligence agencies to tell us that? Ten minutes of watching the newscast of your choice, from Al-Jazeera to Fox News, would be enough to convince most observers." But the key question is why the war has provoked the global Jihad.

One answer has to be the influence in the Arab world of the America-
hating network Al-Jazeera
. The AIM DVD on "Terror Television" shows film footage of captured terrorists saying they came to Iraq to kill Americans because of the words and images on Al-Jazeera.

According to reports, explosive material was found on the body of the man

You'd think the headline would have been "Suicide Bomber Storms School".

Airport and Airline named:

German police investigate foiled plot to bomb plane

BERLIN (Reuters) - German authorities are investigating a number of people in connection with what they suspect was a foiled plot to smuggle a bomb onto a passenger plane, the Federal Prosecutor's Office said on Monday.

German security sources said on condition of anonymity that the plane would have been at Frankfurt International Airport, one of the world's busiest. German newspaper Die Welt cited security sources as saying the target was a plane of Israel's El Al airline.(snip)

School bus crashes in Alabama (4 dead, several critical per FOX)

(snippet for archive)
We know there were approximately, and this is an approximate number now, 20 students that were on a bus that were high school students that were en route from the Huntsville Center for Technology," Ward told WAAY-TV. "We know that there was an incident and overturned bus and we've got a very serious situation."

"It did not explain why the suspects, who remain under investigation, had been released It gave no details about the nationality of the suspects."

"Police uncovered a failed plot by two young Lebanese men to detonate suitcase bombs on trains in western Germany in July."

I usually hope that they release this vermin in order to discover their additional contacts, habits, etc. With plots for trains and planes in Germany; it seems apparent that Germany is on the list of AQ target areas. Hmmmmm...and I thought that with Germany, Spain, France, et. al. staying OUT of the Iraq fray that they would be SAFE!!...hmmmmmm.

With Israel's El Al airline having one of the safest airline records..IIRC...seems AQ have some highly ambitious vermin. I don't seem them EVER having the ability to get their murderous plans past El Al security...I pray that I am correct.

Prayers going up. One more reason why there should be seatbelts on ALL school buses. For those who haven't ridden on a school bus lately; even a small quick stop can throw children across an aisle or into the seat in front of them. My children do not ride on school buses...and for those out there that do...please take a ride on one soon and see what I mean. And I am one of those who is against the nanny government intrusion into our every move...I always wear a seatbelt...but feel that it is not a reason to pull someone over. But on school buses...there is no reason for them to not be mandatory...well other than $$$...and that has been the main sticking point for years.

Thanks V for the archive snippet...with a school incident just today in Germany, etc. it is a good idea.

"HIZBALLAH LATIN AMERICA RECEIVES NEWS OF THEIR FIRST SHAHEED"

SNIPPET - QUOTE:

Given the strong affinity that Hizballah Venezuela shows for the country's current President for Life™ Hugo Chavez, it seems likely that this story has been created to provide a pretext for future "Hizballah" attacks on US and/or Jewish interests in Latin America. Teodoro says as much:

...esta es la información que tenemos de fuente no oficial que remitió a este comando, de resultar cierto tomaremos acciones extremas y gravísimas contra intereses norte americanos y judíos en Venezuela, las acciones incluyen el uso de explosivo de alto poder de destrucción.

ARTICLE SNIPPET - QUOTE:

4. The al-Muhajiroon connection

To the best of our knowledge there is no connection between the al-Mohajroon forum and the now-banned and allegedly disbanded organization in the UK with which it shares a name. This despite Omar Bakri having relocated to Lebanon in the past year. The name (literally "the immigrants") is a reference to the early followers of Mohammed who migrated with the Prophet from Mecca to Medina. It certainly cannot be ruled out that Bakri and his people may find some way to work the current situation to their advantage. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.


5. Lebanon's Sunnis and al-Qaida

Lebanon's Sunni Muslim population is the weakest of all the ethnic/religious groups in the country, not due to lack of numbers, but due to lack of arms. This situation, combined with Hizballah's move to topple the current Lebanese government, and an emerging United States policy in Iraq that will involve a rapid exit from the region and abandonment of previous commitments, all combine to create a situation where on the one hand Lebanon's Sunnis are a people in need of a fighting force, and Sunni jihadis of the al-Qaida variety may be free to move into Lebanon to fill that need. Certainly conditions in Lebanon seem ripe for such a development.


6. "Lebanese" al-Qaida remains Palestinian al-Qaida

As if on cue, the "al-Qaida Organization in Lebanon" released this past week a statement threatening to destroy the Lebanese government.

Statement by 'Al-Qa'ida Organization in Lebanon' Threatens To 'Destroy' Govt
Unattributed report: "Statement in the name of 'Al-Qa'ida' in the Nahr al-Barid camp threatens the government"

Tuesday, November 14, 2006 T08:44:13Z
Document Type: OSC Translated Text:

Al-Nahar has received a fax statement in the name of the "Al-Qa'ida Organization in Lebanon" that was copied and distributed in the Nahr al-Barid (Palestinian) refugee camp. Following is the text of the statement:

"In the name of God, most Gracious, most Merciful. Oh God, guide our aim, and keep our feet firm. Praise be to God and peace and blessings be upon the messenger of God, Prophet Muhammad, and his household, and companions. We announce that we have arrived in Lebanon and will work to destroy this corrupt government that takes its orders from the US Administration, and we warn all the agents who are attempting to harm us. Let them know that we are lying in wait for them, God willing. Your brethren in the "Al-Qa'ida Organization in Lebanon" are proceeding in their jihad and combat with the enemies of God so that only God is worshipped, as there will either be victory or martyrdom. God is great, God is great. Glory belongs to God, His messenger, and the mujahiddin."

Xinhua: Over 9,600 Chinese Muslims To Make Mecca Pilgrimage by Charter Flight

"Over 9,600 Chinese Muslims To Make Pilgrimage To Mecca by Charter Flight" -- Xinhua headline Tuesday, November 14, 2006 T11:29:14Z Document Type: OSC Transcribed Text:

Beijing, Nov. 14 (Xinhua) -- More than 9,600 Chinese Muslims will travel to Mecca by charter flight at the end of the year and the beginning of next year for the traditional annual pilgrimage.
Yang Zhibo, vice chairman of the Islamic Association of China, said more than 9,600 Chinese Muslims from eight provinces and autonomous regions including Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia and Henan, will make a pilgrimage to Mecca.

"There are more pilgrims going to Mecca this year than at any time in the country's Muslim pilgrimage history," said Yang.

Air China, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern airlines will arrange a total of 31 non-stop charter flights for the pilgrims, he said.

On Nov. 29, the first pilgrimage charter flight will take off from Lanzhou, capital of Gansu Province, and arrive at Medinah, Saudi Arabia, after a flight lasting eight to ten hours. From Dec. 3, charter flights will depart Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, for Medinah.

Charter flights will begin from Beijing and Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, to Medinah, on Dec. 13.

Chinese Muslim pilgrims will return from the pilgrimage by charter flight from Jan. 5 to 24, 2007.

Chinese Muslims have been making the pilgrimage to Mecca since the Ming Dynasty era (1368-1644).
