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.

Warden Message: Delhi Disturbances Continue
U.S. Consulate General Mumbai released the following Warden Message on November 30, 2006:

The U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai has received reports of rocks being thrown at cars, buses being damaged, trains being stopped, street blockages, and small roaming groups of rioters in parts of Mumbai, especially in the north and northeastern suburbs of Mumbai along the Central Railway Line, and in other cities throughout Maharashtra, including Aurangabad, Bhusawal, Jalgaon, Nagpur, Nasik, Nanded, and Pune.

Although these disturbances are not directed at U.S. citizens, they are indiscriminate and could affect anyone in their vicinity. The Consulate advises U.S. citizens to monitor local media reports and avoid driving into affected areas. U.S. citizens should avoid crowds, rallies, and street demonstrations. Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. At a minimum, you should exercise extreme caution in the vicinity of any demonstrations. You should always be aware of your surroundings and keep a low profile.

Districts reported to be affected in Mumbai include: Bhandup (E), Chembur, Dadar East, Ghatkopar East, Govindi, Gowandi, Kalina, Kanjur Marg, Kherwadi, Kurla, Kurar, Mankurd, Mulund, Naigaon, Navghar, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Ulasnagar, Vakola, and Worli Naka. Streets in Mumbai reported to be affected include: Kopar-Khairne, Mahape, Thane Bellapur Road, and Turbhe.

In Pune, districts reported to be affected include: Akrudi, Chinchwad, Hinjewadi, Negdi, and Pimpri. Curfews may have been imposed in some of these areas.

In Aurangabad, districts reported to be affected include: Mukundwadi, along Jalna Road.

Disturbances began yesterday, November 29, in the Uttar Pradesh city of Kanpur after the desecration of the statue of Dalit leader B.R. Ambedkar. Tensions appear to be centered in communities with large numbers of members of scheduled castes or tribes.

For further information, please consult the current Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, available on the Department of State website at http://travel.state.gov. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the United States, or, for callers outside the United States and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.

Six Christians Murdered by Muslim Mob in Ethiopia

By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries

WASHINGTON, DC (ANS) -- The Washington-DC based human rights group, International Christian Concern (ICC), www.persecution.org, says that it has learned that in early October, a mob of three hundred Muslims murdered six Christians, and seriously wounded fifteen others during a midnight worship service in Beshasha, a town located in the Agaro province, 408 kilometers west of Addis Ababa.

According to an ICC spokesperson what occurred was that on October 14, Orthodox Christians held a midnight worship service when a group of three hundred Muslims, carrying guns and knives approached the church.
“The mob could not enter the locked doors to the church but then proceeded to pour gasoline around the building, forcing the Christians to come out of the building,” said the spokesperson.

“The men of the church came out first and attempted to defend the men and women but had no real weapons, in comparison to the guns and knives used against them. The Muslim mob began to attack the Christians. Fifteen individuals from the church suffered sever knife wounds. Six people died as a result, two priests, two elderly women, and two men.”

The ICC spokesperson went on to say, “Two weeks later, the Ethiopian media announced that the police had arrested the leader of the massacre. However, the violence against Christians continues to steadily increase. It was only two weeks before the Beshasha massacre that another attack on Christians occurred in Jimma, Ethiopia because Muslims opposed Orthodox Christians celebrating the traditional Meskel holiday.

“Muslims in the Horn of Africa are becoming increasingly radical and violent and are being urged to export that violence to surrounding countries.

“This trend is almost certainly affecting Christians in Ethiopia. The Union of Islamic Courts in Somalis recently called for Jihad against Ethiopia, appealing to Muslims of the Horn to rise up against anyone who would dare come against the religion of Allah.

“The tragic incident may only be a precursor of things to come as Muslims in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania are radicalized.”

Note: ICC is a Washington-DC based human rights organization that exists to help persecuted Christians worldwide. ICC delivers humanitarian aid, trains and supports persecuted pastors, raises awareness in the US regarding the problem of persecution, and is an advocate for the persecuted on Capitol Hill and the State Department.

What we do know is terrifying enough. I can just imagine what is really known by those investigating this case. It is the info. that we don't know that to me is the most terrifying. Also, this is just more fallout from the scientists who may have lent their services and knowledge to the highest bidder after the Cold War.

I agree.

I'm not sure I'd want to know what they know.

It's a bummer huh, if not monitoring.
They seem to come in all at once.

It might be associated with the weather, BurbankKarl. I'll check around. Here's this in the meantime.

I see Velveeta said the same thing.

I checked news and press releases and could not find anything except for weather-related outages and incidents.
