The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the Judge and get informed.

Group linked to al Qaeda warns of 'columns of car bombs'

Australia and Italy have received warnings through a statement purportedly from militants linked to al Qaeda that demanded those countries withdraw troops from Iraq.






We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm.

Incitement to rage comes to mind, but my understanding is that they're better trained than that.

Someone told me that they had decent SF training.

Thanks. I've been to the paper and radio news sites; no joy there.

TV sites are next.

I have never heard about the message you are referencing.

That was certainly a different message. The message I read was found on forums and it was discovered and translated from the Arabic somewhere around last spring/summer. It was unrelated to 911.

If you subscribe to their service you can listen to their interviews through the archive list and judge for yourself based on their tone of voice and authority of information

~~~~~~~~Lucky You:D)
This is soliciting for money by using FR. Jim needs to know. Ban them all and even if we think it's them.

If they don't have a history of over a year at FR it is probably them you can tell by how they post.

"Someone told me that they had decent SF training."

Talk to judicial meanz about that. He thinks they have access to some sort of LEO/SWAT training. Even if they have SF training from the green beanies in the first Muj efforts against the USSR, I don't think it's been recently reinforced. Equipment training and tactical stuff can carry on for a long time, but combat mindset needs to be constantly reinforced and practiced to stay fresh. Left to languish, it self-extinguishes in favor of the core personna. Especially if that personna is ummmm radically different in emotional reactions to stimuli.

Ok. So billboard pictures of UBL on all fours being mounted by a hog may actually work then?

Operation Holy Tuesday. Published: October 27, 2003.

Excerpt:
"At the vacation spot, Atta told Binalshibh that the hijackers were ready and that the date had been set. Atta and Binalshibh had previously dubbed the operation "Porsche 911," a code word to be used if they ever had to speak to each other on the telephone.

And the "Porsche," Atta now said, was ready to go."

Thank you for the follow up on the illegals.

I am aghast at how easy it sounds to get the Matricula cards. I'll follow the link to read more.

Thank you so much!

this isn't terror-related, but it may strike terror in the financial world

AP News Alert:

DENVER (AP) — Janus Capital Group Inc. said Thursday that an unidentified client will pull $5 billion out of its mutual funds by the end of the year, some 3.7 percent of its total assets under management.

I dunno, but I saw jpg pics of OBL fleeing Afghanistan with his wife on a motorcycle. His wife looked suspiciously like a sheep. Ever see the Woody Allen movie Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex, but were Afraid to Ask? Gene Wilder had an interesting relationship with a sheep.

I have no answer. Islamic amulets are worn around the neck.

The mezuzah is based on Jewish interpretation of the 1st commandment.

However, the whole "bow to mecca" thing was a contrivance by mo to irritate the Jews who were under siege in mecca.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was some twisted version of it.

Welcome home:)
Add this to your mix and see how this may come out I am more worried about this now than NK...(when I can find an article will post) I heard on Christan radio that some high ranking Jewish leader call for all Palestine TERRORIST AND they FAMILIES TO BE KILLED.

The movement is from South Korea and that would make it from the 2nd Infantry Division. I wouldn't be surprised to see armor assets since Korea really isn't "tank country" anyway.

WASHINGTON ? With Iran warning that it will "overthrow the entire Zionist entity" if Israel strikes its nuclear facilities, American officials are seeking assurances that Jerusalem has no plans to launch a unilateral strike, the Forward has learned.

Is this an accurate description of weather inversion?

It's a definate possibility with the description of the haze. Like I said, inversions tend to trap haze/smog/smoke near the ground level because the air above is too warm to allow the pollutant to rise.

On a typical day with no inversion, clouds (fair weather cumulus) form due to rising warm air. When the wartm air rises, it condenses. If the air above is cold enough, showers or thunderstorms will form.

Inversions are most typical in regions that are low-lying and also surrounded by mountains. The LA metroplex is a great example but it can occur anywhere if conditions are right. Typically, a high pressure system (combined with little or no wind) causes inversions. They are most common during the summer in the US.
