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.

"Terror task force looks into Orange County armed robbery"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. (AP) -- A terrorism task force is looking into the armed robbery of an electronics store as a precautionary measure, a sheriff's department official said Thursday. 

Members of the local Joint Terrorism Task Force responded to a Radio Shack in Laguna Niguel where a man in a suit and tie Wednesday used a sawed-off shotgun to steal walkie-talkies, a television and cash, said Jim Amormino, a spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department. 

The suspect was described as being of Middle Eastern descent by the manager, who is from the Middle East, and asked about a global positioning system before taking the shotgun from a duffel bag and robbing the store, said Amormino."

You know Karl, I think that is what the reporters are referring to -- the Family Rado Service.

We have those, but our family calls them walkie-talkies vs. cell phones.

Radio Shack, Walmart, Target and others carry FRS and GMRS radios. I grabbed a pair of GMRS radios on a blowout sale at Walmart. Rated for 7 mile range. The pair cost me $20. The FCC will hit you for $75 for a legitimate GMRS license.

My guess is the thieves were looking for an easy target for GPS and radios. Radio Shack often has only a single, unarmed clerk on duty. The thieves are probably preparing for some operation with resources dead dropped at locations that can be reliably located with a GPS.

I hope this situation gets NATIONAL attention Myrddin.

"NEPALI MISSIONARY ABDUCTED BY MAOISTS"

By Michael Ireland
Chief Correspondent, ASSIST News Service

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEPAL  (ANS) -- Gospel For Asia’s Nepali missionary Besh’s life is in danger as radical insurgency group Maoists forcibly abducted him a week ago for their purposes. (Pictured: missionary Besh).

“This morning we received the urgent news. Though we do not know the details of the kidnapping or where he has been taken, we know our brother’s life is on the line. He is well known in the community as a Christian pastor and evangelist, and authorities in an area where he was ministering a year ago noticed his activity and asked him to leave,” writes GFA‘s president K.P. Yohannan.

In the past, more than 200 people—teachers, students, village officials and commoners—have been abducted by the Maoists and killed without mercy."
