Threat Matrix: December 2008

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Critical Threats: Blank When None
The Age of 'Celebrity Terrorism'

Quite apart from the scores murdered and the hundreds injured, what the Mumbai terrorists really wanted was an exaggerated - and preferably extreme - reaction on the part of governments, the media and public opinion.

In these terms, the attackers received as much attention as they could possibly have hoped for, and the Mumbai outrage can only be described as a very significant terrorist success.

The attack received saturation coverage in the world's media from the outset. Read More

Better get used to it.

Better also get ready to deal with the reality behind that threat. And worse.

Fun’s just starting, and we’re on our own. Only reaction the libs will have to another 9/11 is blame the victims, and The O will be up at the head of the procession to make that claim.

Police detain 2 men after alarm raised at Saskatoon airport (Canada)
Tuesday, January 27, 2009

Two men preparing to board a plane at Saskatoon International Airport were detained by police for several hours Monday after concerns were raised about a possible hijacking. The two men, both 23, had been planning to board a United Airlines flight to Denver. However, at around 4 p.m., some passengers in the boarding area contacted security after overhearing a conversation between the two, Saskatoon police said.

The men were prevented from getting on the plane and police were called. However, the men were not charged and were released several hours later, after being questioned. Police said they are still investigating.

Bin Laden messages on Bosnian Muslim site January 26, 2009

Messages from Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenants have been published on the Bosnian Muslim web site putvjernika.com. Titled “Usama bin Laden: Call to Jihad to stop aggression in Gaza” the text warns that Muslims “have ignored the requirement of Jihad!”.

The web site putvjernika.com is ran by Bosnian Muslims from Gornja Maoca, a village that was ethnically cleansed of Serbs and now occupied by Bosnian Muslims who believe in Wahabism.

Al Qaeda's YouTube Threat To UK
Monday January 26, 2009

Al Qaeda has posted a chilling video threat to Britain on YouTube - showing masked gunmen shooting the Union Flag. Heavily-armed henchmen of Osama bin Laden are seen in a desert area, dressed from head to toe in black, using the flag as target practice.

The video also shows the Stars and Stripes and Israel's flag riddled with bullets as the men unload their rifles. Two men released from America's Guantanamo Bay terror prison appear in the video, which has also been posted on jihadist websites. Abu Hareth Muhammad al Oufi is seen venting his fury at the West while holding an automatic rifle and brandishing a grenade. Former inmate Abu Sufyan al Azdi al Shahri is filmed sitting with two other men before a flag of the Islamic State of Iraq, the symbol for the al Qaeda terror network in Iraq.

'Betty Ford' Islamic militants arrested in Saudi Arabia
1/26/09

Nine Saudi Islamic militants, including former Guantanamo inmates, have been rearrested in the Kingdom despite completing a controversial rehabilitation programme. The arrests follow the embarrassing revelation last week that another Saudi Guantanamo Bay detainee who was released to the authorities in 2007 has emerged as the deputy leader of al-Qaeda’s Yemeni branch of the terrorist organisation.

Both incidents are a serious setback for the experimental regime in which Saudi terror suspects are "weaned off" Islamic militancy at the so-called "Betty Ford clinic" for jihadists.

N. Korea ditches nonaggression pact with S. Korea
Jan 30, 2009

North Korea said Friday it is ditching a nonaggression pact and all other peace agreements with South Korea, in an apparent attempt to use the threat of an armed clash to press Seoul to give up its "confrontational" stance. The communist nation also said it will no longer respect a disputed sea border with the South, raising the prospect for an armed clash along the Yellow Sea boundary - the scene of deadly skirmishes between the two navies in 1999 and 2002.

South Korea said it regretted the North's latest move and warned it won't tolerate any attempt to violate the border. Analysts said Pyongyang's threats could signal it is preparing for an armed confrontation, but only as a way of ratcheting up the pressure on Seoul to get the neighbor to soften its hard-line stance - and attracting President Barack Obama's attention. "This signals that North Korea will stage a provocation" - probably near the maritime border, said Kim Yong-hyun, a North Korea expert at Seoul's Dongguk University.

`Al-Qaeda video` recruits snipers to avenge Gaza
Thursday January 29, 2009

A new video purportedly from Al-Qaeda in Iraq urges Muslims to become snipers in order to avenge the Palestinian deaths caused by Israel`s three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip. The 30 minute documentary, entitled "From the Islamic State: Dedicated to Gaza, the courageous," underlines the military and religious aspect of a sniper in Islam. It begins by showing images of the Israeli bombardment of Gaza, while images of Arab heads of state are seen cheering after a raid.

The aim of the video - produced by production house al-Furqan - is to invite Muslims from all over the world to do the same and kill the first unbeliever that crosses his path. "You must know that with a bullet whose cost does not exceed one dollar, you can kill a person who gets paid much more by their country. "If you feel that your heart is being squeezed and you are sorry about what is happening to Muslims, become a sniper and learn how to become one. Then approach God`s enemy and his closest prophet and put a bullet in his heart or head and you will see how much better you feel," said the message.

Morocco Bans Unislamic Names in Netherlands
29/01/09

THE HAGUE - Moroccans in the Netherlands are not allowed to give their children any Berber names any more. In this way, Islamic identity is being stressed, Trouw newspaper reported yesterday.

By far the biggest group of Moroccans in the Netherlands are of Berber origin, a region in the mountainous north of Morocco. "They will now be forced to give their children a Moroccan-Islamic name," according to Trouw. "Morocco wants to secure the Moroccan identity of its nationals in this way, including the Moroccan Dutch." The Moroccan government in Rabat sent all embassies and consulates abroad a list of banned name this week. Christian names were already forbidden. "We forbid Berber names because they conflict with the identity and because they open the door to the spread of meaningless names," said Idris Bajdi, a top official in Morocco, in the newspaper.

Missing West Michigan Man Conspired Against

No ones seen hide nor hair of Donald Dietz now for more than a year.

He disappeared from Saranac last September while riding his bike home from a Meijer store. Investigators know his disappearance is suspicious. Friday, prosecutors released a 3rd indictment in a twisted and complicated case of fraud. It’s a move no one saw coming.

Rami Saba of Lowell is tied into all this mess. He once worked as Dietz’s financial advisor. Prosecutors indicted him last year on Fraud and False Identity charges related to Deitz.

Court documents show he stole Deitz’s identity and tried to wire more than $440,000 back to a bank account in Lebanon but a Credit Union blocked that transaction....
