Threat Matrix: November 2006

[nwctwx]

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.

[crabbie]

thank you for your continued great job!

and a special thanks to all my FReeper FRiends who continue to reach out!

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Thank you, all4one.

Events and circumstances are really starting to hit home for France.

"what do you think the odds are that the terrorists will not merely passively watch the election, but will try to pull a "Madrid" to influence the results?"

I would say not likely, because it would hurt their interests bigtime. If such a thing did happen you could expect the dems to immediately blame it on republicans, saying they allowed it to happen because we are distracted in Iraq. I don't think it would fly with the voters though, and such talk would backfire.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

BUMP!

Thanks Ian.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Bump!

Morning or good night, Cindy. :)

I have to get back to work myself.

[Hegemony Cricket]

See, that's pretty much what I was thinking, however, I know the terrorists don't think logically like you and I do (otherwise, they wouldn't be terrorists...).

-He planned attacks against the Panama Canal: State Security

One of the terrorists tied to the Al Qaeda network much sought by United States authorities was in the national territory for several days after planning attacks on the Panama Canal, Minister of Security Oscar Alvarez revealed yesterday.

The civil servant elaborated his statements, when referring that the possible presence of international terrorists is investigated, brought into the country by Mafias that deal with undocumented people.

"We can verify the presence of Middle East terrorists in our country", asserted Alvarez, then criticized that "many people do not believe or do not want to believe in their eagerness to keep Honduras like an island, isolated fropm the global world".

For this case, he detailed that one of the most ruthless terrorists of Al Qaida, identified as Adnan Guishair ale Shukri Jumah (38), who is also called Yafar Al Tayar, was seen in a "coffee net" of the capital, commanding/posting messages to its partisans.

"He is a man of Egyptian origin, that soon detected in Panama and here in Honduras in a coffee net to him", the minister pointed out, to indicate that Policia Internacional (INTERPOL) and the government of the United States corroborated their identity.

"According to teh groups of Intelligence, this one tried to put explosive devices in the Panama Canal to affect the traffic of boats in the zone", aimed.

Oscar Alvarez does not know the true objective of Adnan Guishair

Al Shukri Jumah in the country, but indicated that "Honduras has one of the most important ports of the Central American region and, therefore, we are alert so that the zones are not affected that improve the national economy".

"It is assumed that his high Al Qaida criminal was in Panama, trying to organize a criminal act and, later, he passed by our country, but already totally he was identified", assured.

RECRUITMENT "they are arriving in the country legally or illegaly, through the borders, mainly of Nicaragua, soon they infiltrate into the country to move like common and ordinary people in the sense that one can go away to the coffee net to communicate with other terrorists", he added.

He lamented that there have been recruiting young in the country, to place explosive devices in a place of Central America or the United States. "it is not that it is a forceful fact, but the information has been spilled by reliable informants, therefore we are working arduously in the investigations", indicated.

"these are not inventions of the minister of Security, I want the people to realize the possibility exists that our country is being used like platform of the international terrorists".

He indicated that by the head of the terrorist, authorities of international Intelligence offer the amount of five (5) million dollars.

"the international Middle East terrorists want to infiltrate terrorists into the United States and Central American region, or to attempt against the allies or such American", she said.

In this sense, the civil servant indicated that every day they make operative special of criminal intelligence to give with the whereabouts of that type of people.

"we do not want to bring anxiety to the Honduran people, but one does not discard that they are trying to commit terrorist acts in the country, in vista to the lent aid (?) to the nation of the United States", deduced.

Oscar Alvarez noted that the creation of an antiterrorist law is urgent that allows that the special and operating groups of justice, execute forceful actions against those delinquents.

"we are giving pursuit him to foreigners who are in the country in functions that we could see them like attempts form support battalions to sectors that would be interested in terrorist acts", he concluded.

GWADAR: WILL HU OR WILL HU NOT?
By B. Raman


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "5. Even though the Pakistani authorities are keen that he should formally inaugurate the port, Pakistani official sources say that the port is not yet ready to be commissioned. The port is being constructed in two phases. In the first phase, the originally fishing harbour of Gwadar is being converted into an international port to cater to the external trade of Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Central Asian Republics, and the Xinjiang region of China.

ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: 7. Moreover, a decision is yet to be taken by the Pakistani authorities as to who will operate the port. Originally, it was being rumoured that this contract would be given to a Dubai company of international reputation, but Beijing is reported to have shown interest in the contract being given to one of the Chinese bidders from Singapore and Hong Kong. Fresh tenders have reportedly been called for.

8. Despite these teething problems, the Chinese remain committed to undertaking the construction of the second phase which would create a naval base in Gwadar by 2010, capable of being used by the Pakistani and Chinese navies. It is learnt that preliminary work in this regard is already on despite the deterioration in the security situation after the murder of Nawab Bugti."

POSTED: 7:17 a.m. EST, November 2, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TEHRAN, Iran (AP) -- Ignoring widespread condemnation, Iran awarded the top prize in a Holocaust cartoon contest to a Moroccan artist for his depiction of Israel's security wall with a picture of the Auschwitz concentration camp on it.

The organizers of the exhibit -- meant as a response to the Danish cartoons of Islam's Prophet Mohammed that enraged many Muslims -- awarded Abdollah Derkaoui $12,000 Wednesday for his work depicting an Israeli crane piling large cement blocks on Israel's security wall and gradually obscuring Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. A picture of Auschwitz appears on the wall.

The mosque is Islam's third-holiest site."
