Threat Matrix: December 2006
Previous thread ^

Posted on 12/01/2006 8:36:14 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Fighting Jihad in Cyberspace
-Full Story-

The setting is familiar to anyone who watches the evening news. A large, executive-style desk, a laptop perched on top, a logo in the background and a screen showing shifting images to reinforce the newsreader's message. The only difference is the presenter, who is swathed in an Arab headdress and masked to hide his identity, and the subject of the broadcast, a call for an Islamic state for Iraq and a vow to use Iraq as a launching pad to crush the "Zionists" in Israel.

Welcome to the "Voice of the Caliphate", the latest offering from the Global Islamic Media Front, widely regarded as the mouthpiece of al-Qaeda and the worldwide jihadist movement.

Distributed over the internet, the mock news format is just one of many employed by al-Qaeda's highly sophisticated propaganda arm.

Dallas Homeowner Shoots Intruder (TX)
MyFox ^ | December 26, 2006 | Staff

Posted on 12/26/2006 8:57:52 PM PST by DaveLoneRanger

A South Dallas homeowner shot a man who entered his house and refused to leave Tuesday afternoon, according to police.

The shooting happened around 4:30 p.m. in the 3800 block of Tolbert Street. The homeowner says he was watching TV in his reclining chair when the stranger simply walked through the unlocked front door. The two argued and the stranger refused to leave, so the homeowner produced a gun and shot him twice.

The suspect then ran to a post office a few blocks away and collapsed at the back door. People there saw he was bleeding heavily and called for an ambulance.

The gunshot victim is expected to recover from his wounds. Tonight, police say they have no plans to file charges against the homeowner.

Because the motive was unknown, the incident was being investigated as a crime and not as a potential act of terrorism on mass transportation, Holland said. Authorities believe the suspect merely meant to inconvenience people, he said.

The suspect was described as a white or Middle Eastern man, 20 to 30 years old, about 5 feet 9 inches tall, Luna said. He was wearing a brown jacket, he said.




How stupid do they think we are?

I simply can not believe that this OKC bombing information isn't "all day breaking news."

I just read the full pdf report on Dana Rohrbacher's site.

Finally, Jayna Davis has been heard!

web surfing at the same time.
