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.

With the nation on high alert for al-Qaida terrorists, the Department of Homeland Security is putting its border officers through "etiquette" classes to soften their image and make them less threatening to arriving foreign immigrants, WorldNetDaily has learned.

The firearms "chat" was typical sharing of weekend fun around the water cooler for firearms hobbyists. A small, repeatable group of shots is a measure of marksmanship skill and the quality of the firearm that produced the group. No different than a great bowling score.
Bullseye competitions are sporting exercise. I've put over 80,000 rounds on paper targets since the last time one went through the head of a cottontail rabbit for dinner. I'm confident of my ability to feed my family and/or my neighbors if the need arises.
It's important to remember that paper targets and 4-legged food sources don't shoot back. The two-legged types that can shoot back are going to be well armed and well practiced. It's not a game. It's not a sport. It's life or death.

The quality of information and chatter seems to have plummeted recently. I think we're in the eye of the storm and can expect an attack any time in the coming month.

Cindy, I just got my tech license for HAM and was able to be a part of the the 2 meter Echolink operations of hurricane Charley. It is quite the experience to hear real-time activities from states away, and to be able to reach out to people in need. Everyone should at least get their Tech. license. I eventually will go for the General license.

"Everyone should at least get their Tech. license."
That's good advice tmp02.
Good luck with your General license.

BIN LADEN, ZAWAHIRI TAPE SOON?
The surprise announcement yesterday, by Pakistan interior minister Faisal Saleh Hayat that Jamaat-e-Islami, the country's largest religious party, is harboring al-Qaida members and President Musharraf's appearance on state television, where he urged his nation to fight al-Qaida, may have something to do with this:
Karachi: Islam in Urdu
13 Aug 04
[Homeland Threat; INP report: "Al-Qa'ida Announces Sheikh Usama Bin Ladin, Aiman al-Zawahiri To Make Public Appearance Soon"]
[FBIS Translated Text]
Al-Qa'ida has announced that Usama Bin Ladin and Ayman al-Zawahiri will soon make a public appearance so as to pronounce a fierce battle against the United States and Europe as well as the expiry of a deadline to pull out forces from Iraq. His appearance will belie all US claims regarding his arrest or death.
A statement released by an Al-Qa'ida group, posted on the Islamic website, "Mimber Ahl-i-Sunnat Wal-Jamaa" [name as transliterated], on Thursday [12 August] says their leader Usama Bin Ladin, or his deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, will soon make an announcement on the expiry of a deadline given to Europe to be followed by massive attacks on the United States, Europe, and other allied countries. The statement said all Al-Qa'ida "cells" [preceding word within quotation marks in English] are fully prepared and as soon as Sheikh Usama gives an order, they will attack targeted places and personalities. Through these attacks, they will tell their enemies that they are not only capable of defending themselves, but also eliminating them.
The statement adds that all Muslims have been told that Sheikh Usama or al-Zawahiri will soon appear on some satellite TV channels and announce the expiry of a deadline and a war on the Untied States and European countries. It also said the people will soon see the Al-Qa'ida chief with their own eyes. The United States claims that Usama has been arrested, "martyred," or will be arrested soon.
That this announcement appeared in print for the first time in a Karachi paper is significant for a number of reasons.
Karachi has long been and continues to be jihad central.
Karachi is where Danny Pearl was kidnapped.
Mussab Aruchi, KSM's nephew, was arrested there in connection with the June assassination attempt, also in Karachi, of Lt. Gen. Ahsan Saleem Hayat.
It was Aruchi's arrest that led to the capture of Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan, Ahmed Khalifan Ghailani, Babar Ahmad, Abu Issa al Britani, Qari Saifullah Akhtar, Fazlur Rahman Khalil, Mohammed Junaid Babar and the discovery of the Qaida plot to strike financial targets in the United States before the election: The strikes that this reputed videotape is to trigger.
It was in Karachi where the head of Banuri Madrasa, the late Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai, introduced Usama bin Ladin to Mullah Omar during the Afghan/Soviet war.
Bin Laden is sending Musharraf a message here. I may be on the ropes but it's a rope-a-dope.
Let's pray it's just more Qaida bluster.
One thing is certain though. What's got Musharraf on the warpath is the very thing he dreads the most and doesn't dare risk: A mega-attack on America which has been coordinated, if not planned, from within Pakistan by ultras sheltered by Jamaat-e-Islami.

It seems the fringe elements of Al Qaeda (or at least their symapthizers) have either a) gone into hiding after the laptop computer bonanza, or b) been told to button their lips (a so-called "information blackout") prior to an operation. It was publicly reported that there was a climactic spike in "congratulatory" chatter almost two weeks ago, which was AFTER the Noor arrest, which indicates to me that there are many more layers to this threat than we are publicly aware of.
If Osama, indeed, shows up in a new video with some sort of chronological evidence of his continued existence, it will be a tremendous boost to morale in the ranks of Al Qaeda. I wrote a few days ago that it was my opinion that the recent wave of arrests in Pakistan was Musharraf's attempt to sanitize his image as a glorified concierge for extremist Islam in Pakistan, in similar anticipation of a major event in the United States or Europe.
My gut is telling me that the whole "death to Italy" campaign is too frantic by half -- i.e., it's a diversion of attention. Furthermore, the threat to the Olympics may also turn out to be a strategic resource-drainer of world attention, while operations are being put into motion in other places.
I'm no soothsayer, but Al Qaeda's legitimacy is on the line with all this bluster. Unless Zawahiri and bin Laden are both dead/captured, I can't imagine either one of them allowing so much hot air to go unconsummated without fear of appearing disingenuine to their own subjects. The most unsettling notion is that these clowns are "locked in" and have a high enough confidence of success that they are willing to verbally taunt the United States with the notion of "we're coming, and you can't stop us".
I can't see any strategic value of Al Qaeda attacking Europe. Of all the wishy-washy continents in the world, Europe tops them all. Let's face it, they're conquering France by populating France. They're conquering Belgium by populating Belgium. And with the Great Andalu -- er, er - Spanish Appeasement of 2004, they may feel they've already gotten the creme de la creme from that cow.
My hope is that we are not seeing some sort of achievement of critical mass in world events. It does not comfort me in any way to know that the Holy Father may be ending his journey (selfish of me, seeing how he suffers). The message of peace defeated the Soviets in the Eastern Bloc. It remains to be seen if the same message will be heeded by "secular" Islamics in places like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. I'm relatively confident it won't be. That leaves the world with an inevitable confrontation - between Iran and Israel, between North Korea and South Korea, and between the United States/Britain and Al Qaeda/Islamic Jihad.
