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.

Top Al Qaeda operator 'arrested' in Iraq
AFP ^ | November 15 2006

Posted on 11/15/2006 4:38:05 AM PST by jmc1969

Authorities say US and Iraqi forces have arrested a top operator of Iraq's Al Qaeda group.

Interior Ministry spokesman Major General Abdel Karim Khalaf says US forces parachuted on the Baghdad house of Abdullah Juburi in an overnight operation.

"He is one of the dangerous criminals in Al Qaeda," Major General Khalaf said.

He says Iraqi ground forces, including the rapid intervention force, raided Mr Juburi's house as US troops parachuted into the area, Arab Jubur, on the southern outskirts of Baghdad.

UK: A decade of radical Islam on college campuses
Spero News ^ | November 14, 2006 | Adrian Morgan

Posted on 11/15/2006 4:44:15 AM PST by outofstyle

On September 14 last year, Ruth Kelly addressed a conference of university leaders from Universities UK (UUK) at their headquarters in Tavistock Square. Kelly then was speaking in her capicity as education secretary. Only nine weeks earlier, on July 7, Hasib Hussain had detonated a rucksack full of triacetone triperoxide on board a Number 30 bus in the road outside, killing 13 people.

Kelly said to the university heads: "Following the London bomb attacks in July, we are all having to re-examine certain policies. I believe that higher education institutions need to identify and confront unacceptable behaviour on their premises and within their communities. That means informing the police where criminal offences are being perpetrated or where there may be concerns about possible criminal acts. Institutions have a duty to support and look after the moderate majority as they study, to ensure that those students are not harassed, intimidated or pressured."

National Drug Intelligence Center Releases
National Drug Threat Assessment 2007

WASHINGTON — The National Drug Intelligence Center, a component of the Department of Justice, has released the National Drug Threat Assessment 2007 detailing national drug trafficking and abuse trends within the United States. The assessment identifies the primary drug threats to the nation, tracks drug availability throughout the country, and analyzes trafficking and distribution patterns of illicit drugs within the United States. It evaluates the threat posed by illegal drugs comparing availability, production and cultivation, transportation, distribution, and demand.

The National Drug Threat Assessment 2007 details these emerging threats based on the most currently available law enforcement, intelligence, and public health reporting and data.

Key findings of the report are as follows:

Following a sharp decrease in methamphetamine production within the United States, Mexican drug trafficking organizations (DTO), who produce ice methamphetamine in Mexico, have gained considerable strength and expanded their presence in drug markets throughout the country, including smaller communities in Midwestern and Eastern states.

The expanded presence of Mexican DTOs in drug markets throughout the country have enabled some to introduce Mexican black tar and brown powder heroin in southeastern and Midwestern states. Although South American heroin is still the predominant heroin in most eastern drug markets, Mexican DTOs’ ability to sell Mexican heroin beyond traditional western state heroin markets presents new challenges to law enforcement.

Although coca cultivation is higher than previously estimated, cocaine availability and use in the United States have not significantly changed.

Ecstacy (MDMA) availability and distribution have increased significantly. Asian DTOs based in Canada have gained control over most MDMA distribution in the United States and have expanded distribution to a level similar to that of 2001.

Asian criminal groups based in Canada have contributed significantly to both the increase in potency of marijuana and its distribution throughout the United States.

While rates of pharmaceutical drug abuse exceed that of all other drugs except marijuana, recent successes in reducing the illegal diversion of pharmaceutical drugs, particularly pharmaceutical narcotics such as OxyContin, have caused some individuals addicted to such drugs to substitute other drugs, such as heroin, for prescription narcotics.

Most Mexican and Colombian DTOs have resorted to consolidating illicit drug proceeds into large bulk cash shipments and smuggling them into Mexico primarily through south Texas. U.S. regulatory and law enforcement efforts have made it increasingly difficult for drug traffickers to launder illicit proceeds in U.S. financial institutions.

The National Drug Threat Assessment 2007 was prepared in partnership with federal, state, and local agencies. The assessment also has incorporated information collected through the administration of the National Drug Intelligence Center’s national survey of more than 3,200 state and local law enforcement agencies and thousands of field interviews with law enforcement and public health officials.

November 15, 2006

"'We promise you, Oh Nation of Muhammed, peace be upon him, that we will massacre the Jews and Christians along with their agents and dogs'"

A message of Islamic Peace and Tolerance from the Iraqi Sunni jihadists, as reported by the pro-jihad Kavkaz Center via the pro-jihad site Vanquishing Falsehood (thanks to Jan III Sobieski):


We promise you, Oh Nation of Muhammed, peace be upon him, that we will massacre the Jews and Christians along with their agents and dogs. Our swords drip with their blood and they will not cool off except in their chests and on their necks. We promise you that we will institute the righteous state in the land of the Rafideen land we will rule the land and people by the laws of Allah.


The Rafideen are the Shi'a.
