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.

Witness: Alleged 9/11 helper introduced him to 'aggressively religious' Atta

British charge 8 linked to U.S. alert

[nwctwx]

I came across this story tonight while doing my daily search on Shukrijumah. I have not seen any 'official' FBI statement on this issue. I would like to know if one was released today, or if this is indeed old information.

The Feds have been issuing nearly biannual warnings or BOLOs on him since shortly after 9/11 it seems. If there is indeed a new warning it would seem to bolster the belief that he is headed to or in the US at this time.

One thing for sure, he was WMD written all over him. He is not someone we want on the loose.

'A lot' of Canadians in al-Qaeda track between words
Canada.Com

[Excerpt]

"A lot" of Canadians trained at al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan and some still live freely in Canada, Abdurahman Khadr testified at a court hearing at which he revealed chilling new details about Canadian terror suspects and his father's ties to Osama bin Laden's training camps.

Mr. Khadr, a 21-year-old Toronto man who underwent weapons and explosives training at four camps in Afghanistan, said in testimony made public yesterday that he had given CIA agents the names of several Canadians who trained at camps such as Khalden.

"I know a lot of people that are living in the West and are living in Canada, and that live their everyday life now and are not under arrest or anything, that have been to Khalden," Mr. Khadr testified at a July 13 hearing in Montreal.

"I had a lot of friends that were Canadians that came to Afghanistan and went to training," Mr. Khadr said. "Some of them are dead now and some of them are back in Canada and some of them are under arrest."

His contention that graduates of the Afghan camps are living normal lives in Canada comes as U.S. officials are concerned that al-Qaeda might try to use Canada as a staging ground for a terrorist strike some time before November's presidential election.

Mr. Khadr testified the training camps did not instruct recruits to "go after America," but provided basic weapons training for Muslims, whom he said are obliged to prepare to defend Islamic countries from attack. But it is now widely known the camps were run by al-Qaeda and taught recruits how to attack Western targets.

World's longest undefended border getting another layer of U.S. security

By SCOTT SUTHERLAND

VICTORIA (CP) - The U.S.-Canada boundary -often called the world's longest undefended border -may no longer be so undefended.

The U.S. is stepping up surveillance along the border, in the air and on the water, starting with a high-tech unit than begins operations in Bellingham, just across the border from the Vancouver area. "It is the first of five such border units that will be established from Bellingham over to Plattsburg, New York," said Gary Bracken, communications director for the Office of Air and Marine Operations.

The New York unit will be set up later this year and units in Montana, North Dakota and Michigan will be established in coming years.

The move is part of the U.S. response to the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

But Braken doubted whether establishing a presence along the boundary with Canada would jeopardize the long-standing boast about the undefended border.

"I don't really see this will change that," he said, adding that it only strengthens the relationship with Canadian authorities and counterparts in other agencies of the United States government.

"We're just bringing air and marine capabilities to the border that have proven to be very successful along our southern border and in the Caribbean basin. These capabilities are not aimed at changing the relationship with the Canadian government or its people."

Solicitor General Rich Coleman could not be reached for comment about how the beefed-up security might impact British Columbia.

Air and Marine Operations, a branch of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, operates 10 similar bases along the U.S.-Mexico border and has provided airspace security for events throughout the U.S., including Super Bowls 2003 and 2004 and the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

The new Bellingham unit will eventually be staffed by 69 U.S. federal law enforcement officers with jurisdiction across all 50 states.

It will operate a fixed-wing surveillance plane, a medium-lift helicopter, a so-called light-enforcement helicopter and at least one high-speed enforcement boat.

This is in addition to the security provided by the FBI, Secret Service, the U.S. coast guard and border patrol and state and local agencies.

Braken acknowledged that thwarting the smuggling of marijuana -so-called "B.C. bud" -is a prime consideration for establishing the first unit in the Pacific Northwest.

But he said there are also other fears and possible threats.

"Along the (Canadian) border we are also faced with the smuggling of migrants, weapons, currency in both directions, as well as the possibility of terrorists or weapons of mass destruction crossing the border using traditional smuggling routes."

The Americans say there has been legitimate cause for concern, pointing to the case of Ahmed Ressam.

Ressam was arrested in Port Angeles, Wash. driving off a ferry from Victoria, B.C. in 1999 in a car packed with explosives.

Ressam, who was eventually linked to al-Qaida, was plotting to bomb the Los Angeles airport.

Thank you, JP, for all of the hard work, sweat and tears you have poured into this thread. Kinetic, thank you for putting so much time into the designing of the thread.

You will be missed.

Did they just give the goblins directions?

As this plays out (according to God's own timing) I am coming to believe that for the eschatology of the end times to progress, we as a nation must be removed from the scene. I can't imagine a figure such as the coming World Leader who must arise from the new European Empire, would be able to act in the manner that has been foretold IF he must somehow respect the USA as a superior force.

This is exacty what I also think.

One thing for sure, he was WMD written all over him. He is not someone we want on the loose.

He does give one the feeling that he is the next major bad guy (being polite here). The authorities also seem to be almost desperate to find him which does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Hope they get him.

Thanks for doing your daily searches for info on him.

[Oorang]

Amazing isn't it? Sometimes discretion can be a good thing.

I was wondering if Shukrijumah might come in from Canada rather than Mexico. I know certain communities, such as Halifax, have very dense population of Muslims. It seems as though we are expecting him to come in from the south. It sounds like an entry from the north would not be overly difficult (especially during the summer).

[HipShot]

If it was an american MSM story, I'd be screaming treason. Since it's not, I don't know how to react. I thought canada was our ally.

The bottom URL in your post, when I clicked it, it gave a notice that it was "disconnected for security reasons".

What did I miss?

Friends found from across the country to across the street.

If you look out your front window, do you see a white house on the next block with a red roof and a weather vane/anemometer mounted on the chimney?

And I just found you and this thread 2 weeks ago! It can't end!! Go nwctwx!!

You and Kinetic have done a great job on the first leg of an endless relay. Job well done. Hang with us. Your input is appreciated.

[little jeremiah]

Although I haven't been able to scour FR and the TM thread as much lately due to computer malfunction, I will miss your input, hard work, and pithy as well as humorous (sometimes!) comments. I've been on this thread since the beginning, and I am awed at the incredible work you and many others here do.

See you on other threads!

For those of you who don't already have one, get a 1000 channel handheld trunking scanner. Best investment you can make right now (non-weapon!). Any radio of this type will receive the alerts from the NWS/EAS. Plus, you have first hand communications of the first responders. Mine hasn't left my side since June, including 2 camping trips. Right now, you just don't know.
