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!

A new message was posted in the last few hours by the Jeddah-based al-Qaeda-linked Al-Islah (Reform) society calling on Muslims to flee New York, Washington and Los Angeles in advance of major al Qaeda attacks in those cities. This is revealed by DEBKAfile.

"Terrorist training camp in the Netherlands"
From Agence France Presse, with thanks to Anthony:

LIEMPDE, The Netherlands, Nov 12 (AFP)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "UPDATE: My apologies for the hasty posting this morning; I neglected to mention that the PKK is a Marxist group. This story is not another sign of jihad in the Netherlands, but of the Dutch government's crackdown, which is extending also to Islamic groups. We shall see exactly how far it extends in the coming weeks."

ACSA has learned that Pakistan's leadership intends to give the bomb to Al Qaeda "very soon" so it may convey it to a target near Washington, DC or NYC, for detonation within the next three months

1. Major US government players have indicated already that AQ DOES have nukes.

2. This story is false. Bush says Pakistan is our friend and islam is the religion of peace. /sarc

Let's up the ante. Let's tell the Saudis that they need to corral these clerics and get some control over their own people, or else they will suffer whatever fate our cities suffer. Oh, and by the way, their oil is looking mighty tasty.

Excellent! Mutual Assured Destruction visited upon the Mecca.

Reagan? YES. Bush? NEVER. Looks like we lost this war already. [If they KNEW we'd nuke every islamist capital in the world after an attack, they'd never hit us...]

"Hispanic gang plots to ambush Maryland cops (MS-13)"
The Washington Times ^ | 11/13/2004 | Matthew Cella

Posted on 11/13/2004 5:39:28 PM PST by 4.1O dana super trac pak

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police officials in Prince George's and Montgomery counties are warning officers that a Salvadoran street gang is plotting to ambush and kill them when they respond to service calls.

The warnings have been issued based on intelligence gathered from the Langley Park area, a known base for members of the MS-13 gang, officials said. The area straddles two counties.

'snip'

In July 2002, The Washington Times reported that MS-13 had dispatched about 20 gang members from California to Fairfax County to kill a county police officer at random.

There were two confirmed cases in which MS-13 members tried to lure officers behind buildings in the Culmore area of Fairfax County to ambush them, but no officers were killed.

If ACSA is not all that great how was this validated enough to be put up on Rewards?

I know nothing about 'Rewards', I do know their track record that they have posted over the past couple of months. They seemed to have taken credit for a lot with very little to document or support their claims. Their warnings didn't pan out with the certainity they claimed. And now with this 'warning' it appears to be a rehash of old internet rumors. The history they give is too incredable to believe. It is even more incredable that the leader of Pakistan will give his sworn enemy a nuke after they've tried to kill him several times. Futhermore, that Pakisan is in charge of AQ, this is laughable at best. The whole fatwa thing is multiple months old and does nothing to support the alert. This is almost at the same level as the report from the unspeakable site last July. There is a liberal dose of tinfoil necessary in dealing with this 'alert'.

FORMER HEAD OF CIA'S OSAMA BIN LADEN UNIT SAYS THE QAEDA LEADER HAS SECURED RELIGIOUS APPROVAL TO USE A NUCLEAR BOMB AGAINST AMERICANS

The 'approval' has been out for many months. The only reason that this is making waves is that this CIA guy is anti-bush and wants to throw mud on him. He published an 'anonymous' book that received luke warm reviews. I also don't think the ACSA threat is valid, but is a rewarning of existing conspiritorial nuke rumors that have been floating around for months.

We could set a new standard for bomb yields based on what it would take to destroy Mecca, and call it Meccatons!

As I’ve said, I’ve monitored the work of ACSA since they came to the forefront here in TM. I went back to archeived Terrorist Summaries covering the track record of this group. Lets see how they faired.

10/4/04 A new kid on the block is the American Computer Scientists Assoc (ACSA). I throw these folks into the mix for evaluation and documentation if their predictive methodology pans out. They note in the following press release excerpts dated 9/25/04 -

“The ACSA (American Computer Scientists Association | http://acsa.net ) indicated it felt October 6 and 7th were very likely "Al Qaeda Profiled" days for such an attack to occur. It also stated that any such attack could be delayed to occur closer to the actual US Elections, but for the Democratic Party to seize an opportunity to try and topple the Bush Campaign, it would probably require four weeks of concerted, coordinated efforts, for it to blame Bush for the anticipated attack sufficiently to muster support for it's failing campaign, as indicated by recent drops in support for Kerry in the polls.”

"We believe that it is likely that October 6 and 7 best fit the kind of drama program the Al Qaedans like to use. For one, the 6th is the actual anniversary of the Palestinian takeover of the Cruise Liner Achille Lauro in 1985”

"The 7th of October is the actual anniversary of the 1973 attack during Yom Kippur on Israel, and the actual anniversary of the United States – British combined operation to invade Afghanistan two to three years ago after 911."

Their press release also goes into potential numerology and other significant events on those dates. It has been noted here at TM that there is a slight correlation between attacks and historic events and numbers but the connections have not yet been a reliable indicator for bracketing attack windows.

The next summary covered the results.

10/11/04 The American Computer Scientists Assoc (ACSA) put out a press release dated 9/25/04, indicating that Oct 6 & 7th would be likely days for an AQ attack to occur if it is to be successful in influencing the American elections. Because the attack in Egypt occured on the 7th, they are claiming success in predicting the attack. However, the attacks did little to influence the elections. They are now predicting that Oct 12th is the next likely day for an AQ based attack.

The Egyptian attack occured more because of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippor than any numerology tool applyed by ACSA. Secondly, there had already been warnings by the Israeli government over the threat of an attack at these Sinai resorts over the holiday. The general context of the warning also inferred that the attack would be on American or close ally soil. This did not happen. Furthermore, the attack failed to be of a magnitude to cause a sway in the election. Therefore they are not entirely correct in claiming credit for ‘predicting’ the Sinai attacks.

10/14/04 The American Computer Scientists Assoc (ACSA) Oct 12th prediction has not panned out.

10/23/04 The American Computer Scientists Assoc (ACSA) predicted that Oct 12th is the next likely day for an AQ based attack. This date has come and gone without incident.

Here again is the failure of their numerology techniques. Nothing happened Oct 12th.

10/23/04 I continue to monitor The American Computer Scientists Assoc (ACSA) and here is their most recent warning:

"Signs seem to indicate that the US Domestic Sleeper Cells of Osamma Bin Laden / Al Qaeda are in 'attack plan restart' and have been accompanied by simultaneous intelligence that Bin Laden has relocated his hiding place," says ACSA decryption expert, Milt Abramson. Savvy intelligence gatherers have advised ACSA that Bin Laden, fearing a latent threat from Chinese populations in the vicinity of his hiding place, has moved to a new underground facility. Simultaneously, he has quietly fielded new orders to "restart attack plans on the USA" effective yesterday, October 22, 2004. That would place the Terrorist Operatives inside of the United States in a position of being able to strike as early as October 25, though it seems more likely that they would attack on the eve of or day of the Elections, as previously suggested by Vice President Dick Cheney. Abramson indicated certain kinds of money laundering and raise up activities had become visible, suggesting that Al Qaeda operatives were in need of some "quick traveling money". Such untraceable funds are raised through a combination of white-collar crimes and narcotics trafficking by the Al Qaeda networks inside the USA.

No attacks on any of the dates they predicted. Current location of OBL is still under dispute by intelligence analysts. The results - they didn’t perform very well in either predicting the date or location of any attack(s). The only AQ related attack -Sinai- was more due to Jewish vacation than anything discovered by ACSA.

Therefore, I question their credability regarding this incredable (read tinfoil) report on how Pakistan got its hand on a nuke, didn’t bother to take it back an analyze it to develope their own weapons for use against India, but hid it in Soviet influence Syria without Soviet or Syrian intelligence finding out (believe me the Syrians would have loved to have gotten their hands on it). And now Musharrif is going to hand over this device to folk he now somehow controls, who BTW have tried to kill him several times, and still pin it on OBL. This is not a credable story or a threat IMHO.
