Threat Matrix: November 2007

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
U.S. to Offer Turkey Help on PKK

The U.S. is to offer Turkey a package of measures to dissuade Ankara from mounting a large-scale military incursion into Iraq to attack PKK Kurdish guerrillas, who have killed scores of Turkish soldiers in recent weeks.

Ahead of a meeting in Washington on Monday between President George W. Bush and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s prime minister, U.S. officials said Ankara would have to get concrete American help to combat the PKK, which has bases in northern Iraq from where it frequently launches attacks into Turkey.

“Erdogan has to go back with the belief that for whatever reason, the U.S. is serious” about tackling Turkey’s concerns regarding the PKK, said Matthew Bryza, deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. state department responsible for Turkey policy. Full story...

Would be good to know where he lives, and where he's been with the trucck. I'm sure the Feds are all over that. from your link:

According to the source, the device had a "hobby" fuse and was described as "not sophisticated" and "rather crude," though "it certainly could have put a hole in the bed of the pickup truck."

Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. Paul Chagolla said that, based on preliminary tests, "it is our opinion that it is, in fact, a viable improvised explosive device."

The device is described as being 6 inches long, and 1½ inches in diameter. The plant employee is in custody. "We are questioning him. He is cooperative," Chagolla said. The employee told investigators he hadn't driven the pickup truck to work in some time, leaving open the possibility the device could have been placed in the bed of the truck unbeknown to him.

The employee is a contractor who has worked at the Palo Verde facility for about a year, according to plant spokesman Jim McDonald. The employee works as a procurement engineer responsible for making sure materials that have been purchased for the plant are the correct type for their intended purpose.

US military takes on latter-day pirates

NAIROBI, Kenya - The U.S. military is once again tangling with pirates, intervening in waters off Somalia twice this week to help ships seized by hijackers — and bringing to mind another century’s battles off Africa.

Pirates may have swapped muskets and the Jolly Roger for AK-47s and satellite phones, but the root causes of piracy are little-changed from when Thomas Jefferson contemplated how to handle attacks on American merchant ships two centuries ago.

well one thing to keep in mind is when you have a security clearance they (feds) know tons about you already. Investigation will move much faster than starting from scratch.

“Pipe Bomb Locks Down Ariz. Nuke Plant”
By CHRIS KAHN and AMANDA LEE MYERS – 4 hours ago

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “WINTERSBURG, Ariz. (AP) — Security officials at the nation’s largest nuclear power plant detained a contract worker with a small pipe bomb in the back of his pickup truck Friday, authorities said.

The Department of Homeland Security said there was no known terrorism link to the incident at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station west of Phoenix.

The worker, Roger William Hurd, told investigators he didn’t know how the bomb got in his truck and was released Friday afternoon.”
