The Threat Matrix

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!

Muslim group takes responsibility for 9-11: 'We are so sorry'

This September 11 marks the third unforgettable anniversary of the worst mass murder in American history.

After September 11, many in the Muslim world chose denial and hallucination rather than face up to the sad fact that Muslims perpetrated the 9-11 terrorist acts and that we have an enormous problem with extremism and support for terrorism. Many Muslims, including religious leaders, and "intellectuals" blamed 9-11 on a Jewish conspiracy and went as far as fabricating a tale that 4000 Jews did not show up for work in the World Trade Center on 9-11. Yet others blamed 9-11 on an American right wing conspiracy or the U.S. Government which allegedly wanted an excuse to invade Iraq and "steal" Iraqi oil.

Maybe someone lifted it from a democratic website?

If so, the benign interpretation is:

"If I hadn't been for him, there would not be 1000 dead soldiers in Iraq."

If it is from an overseas source, then it could be a death threat as the malignant interpretation (which I will try to word carefully so as not to get a visit from USSS) would be:

"He should be removed rather than the 1000 in Iraq."

I also did not like the NYC logo. That part would go:

"He should be removed rather than the 1000 in NYC"

But my hope is it is an over-the-top MoveOn ad that made its way overseas, and not the other thing.

Humor Break

I am a senior citizen.

During the Clinton Administration I had an extremely good and well paying job.

I took numerous vacations and had several vacation homes.

Since President Bush took office, I have watched my entire life change for the worse.

I lost my job.

I lost my two sons in that terrible Iraqi War.

I lost my homes.

I lost my health insurance.

As a matter of fact I lost virtually everything and became homeless.

Adding insult to injury, when the authorities found me living like an animal, instead of helping me, they arrested me.

I will do anything that Senator Kerry wants to insure that a Democrat is back in the White House come next year.

Bush has to go.

Sincerely,

Saddam Hussein

Wow, I just clicked on your links posted at #503. It gives me such chills and makes me cry. Thanks for sharing (I have them bookmarked) and for all your awesome links. I get lost for ages sometimes following the trails.

Off to bed. G'night all.

Missile craft launched


KARACHI — The Pakistan Navy launched its ‘Fast Attack Missile Craft’ here yesterday, it was learnt.

The launching of the craft was another important landmark of the indigenous construction programme and symbolises a quantum leap towards the national policy of self-reliance in meeting national defence requirements, said a release by the Inter-Services Public Relations.

The missile craft was constructed at the Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works and is part of the transfer of technology contract singed with M/s Marsun of Thailand. It is a highly sophisticated vessel, intricate in construction and design.

The craft would be fitted with state-of-the-art weapons and sensors, including electronic warfare systems and fire control radar, and would have a speed of more than 30 knots with maximum displacement of 250 tonnes.

The vessel’s hull is made of steel and aluminium alloy and the superstructure built in a non-conventional manner with advanced methodologies. The craft is capable of launching surface-to-surface missiles and anti-aircraft attack and would be extremely suitable for shallow water operations. — Internews

Explosive munitions on flight to US
By Michael Weissenstein in New York
15sep04

A US government contractor brought highly explosive Soviet munitions on his trip home from Afghanistan that were not detected until he arrived at John F. Kennedy airport, federal officials said.

Shaun Marshall, a medic for defence contractor DynCorp, arrived at Kennedy on August 19 from the United Arab Emirates.

He was trying to board a United Airlines flight home to California when he was pulled aside for a routine security check.

A search of his bags by federal screeners found what police bomb technicians described in an FBI complaint as a Soviet "projectile point detonating fuse" and a "surface-to-air and air-to-air cartridge."

Federal officials said they could not comment on the risk that the munitions posed to the flight.

But the city police bomb squad determined the munitions were "highly explosive", according to the FBI complaint.

Mr Marshall also had five .50-caliber bullets and four small arms cartridges, which he did not declare to United as required by law, according to the complaint made public yesterday.

The Transportation Security Administration officers who searched Marshall's bags called police for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport.

"The fact that TSA located these explosives indicated the system is working," Assistant US Attorney Lawrence Ferazani said.

Mr Marshall, 26, told officers he was importing the munitions, which he believed to be inert, for use in DynCorp training exercises, and Port Authority police released him, federal officials said.

The FBI sent agents to arrest Marshall at his Riverside, California, home after the bomb squad analysed the munitions and DynCorp officials said Mr Marshall had no involvement in its training operations.

A Port Authority spokesman said he could not comment on why Mr Marshall was released. (snipped)

Syria tested chemical arms on civilians in Darfur region: BERLIN : Syria tested chemical weapons on civilians in Sudan's troubled western Darfur region in June and killed dozens of people.

The German daily Die Welt newspaper, in an advance release of its Wednesday edition, citing unnamed western security sources, said that injuries apparently caused by chemical arms were found on the bodies of the victims.


It said that witnesses quoted by an Arabic news website called ILAF in an article on August 2 had said that several frozen bodies arrived suddenly at the "Al-Fashr Hospital" in the Sudanese capital Khartoum in June.

Yup, and what about the ones they miss? If security at the United Arab Emirates is not up to snuff (and by this example it appears they have virtually no security implemented) who's to believe this is the first and only instance of illegal and deadly items being transported to the USA from the UAE?

[Cindy]

RUMOR, RUMOR, RUMOR has it that Iraq's WMD went to Syria. If so, what is Syria up to lately? What does Syria know? What does Syria have in the way of weapons?

As for this particular article, no, I have seen this one.

Thanks for the ping.

You got me smiling there Cindy. Truth is sometimes stranger (and sweeter) than fiction - isn't it?

[Cindy]

Yep.

smiling back at you...

OK DC.
Here's an article which was sent to me by the author, Toby Westerman.
I'm going to link to it tonight.

"NEW, ALARMING DEVELOPMENT IN WAR ON TERROR--
SYRIA TESTS CHEMICAL WEAPONS ON SUDAN POPULATION"

ARTICLE SNIPPET:
"The alarming question arises -- who is the real target of Syria's chemical weapons?


There is only one common enemy of the Islamic fundamentalist government of Sudan and the Socialist government of Syria. Sudan's brand of Islam supports terror networks which have attacked the U.S. Syria has a long anti-American record, first as an ally of the Soviet Union and then as a close friend of Russia and China. Syria also is cooperating on weapons development with the Stalinist state of North Korea.


Syria has aided the terror movement in post-Saddam Iraq, while its President has said that he doubts the existence of the Al-Qaeda terror network.


The chemical horror wreaked upon Dafur may well be a dress rehearsal for a sophisticated chemical terror assault on the United States."

Israel sends experts to help Russia in anti-terror fight

JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel has sent intelligence officers to Russia and is hosting at least two senior Russian officers in Tel Aviv - quietly moving to upgrade anti-terror cooperation with Moscow in the wake of a series of devastating attacks in Russia, officials told The Associated Press.
