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!

Just one of those off the wall late night thoughts. What if the human torch at the White House was a signal of some kind? It certainly made the national news, and it was bizarre enough to be singular and crazy enough to be nothing but volitional.

Just one of those weird thoughts.

Well, maybe, but IN MY OPINION, UBL's little speech on video was the GO signal. Whatever happens now, will happen unless it is stopped.

Nuclear Anti-Terror Fears over Mexican Border

Nuclear Anti-Terror Fears over Mexican Border

By Mark Sage, PA, in New York

Security is being stepped up at the border between the US and Mexico amid new intelligence that al Qaida aims to smuggle nuclear material through a crossing point.

A senior US security official told Time Magazine that a recent captive in the war on terror admitted to “al Qaida’s interest in moving nuclear materials from Europe to either the US or Mexico”.

Sharif al-Masri, an Egyptian, was captured in late August near Pakistan’s border with Iran and Afghanistan.

According to the intelligence report Masri said al Qaida has considered plans to “smuggle nuclear materials to Mexico, then operatives would carry material into the US”.

Meanwhile, US and Mexican intelligence officials were alerted to reports that other al Qaida detainees had described Mexico as a staging area “to acquire end-stage chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear material”.

The Mexican border has long been a security concern for the US.

Thousands of illegal immigrants cross the border from Mexico every year in search of work.

But it is feared that terrorists could also use the mountain passes or other soft spots to get into the US.

Security Secretary Tom Ridge met publicly with top Mexican officials last week to discuss border security.

Surveillance of lorries and other heavy vehicles has been stepped up and the Mexicans authorities will also improve security at flight schools and aviation facilities.

PROMINENT BEIJING HOUSE CHURCH LEADER FACES STIFF JAIL SENTENCE
Chinese Government Charges Could Lead To Life Imprisonment For Pastor

By Michael Ireland
Chief Correspondent, ASSIST News Service

BEIJING, CHINA  (ANS) -- A prominent Beijing house church leader faces an extremely harsh sentence if convicted at his upcoming trial, ASSIST News Service (ANS) has learned.

Pastor Cai Zhuohua, aged 32, the leading minister to six house churches in Beijing, will be formally tried in a Beijing court any day now, says a report from Voice of the Martyrs (VOM).

He was kidnapped by three plain-clothes officers believed to be from the Department of State Security at about 2:00pm on September 11, 2004.

According to an eyewitness, Cai was waiting at a bus stop when three strong men approached him and pushed him into a white van. Cai was returning home following a Bible study session that morning.

Cai’s wife, Xiao Yunfei, along with her brother, Xiao Gaowen, and sister-in-law, Hu Jinyun, were arrested September 27 while hiding in Hengshan county, Hunan province.

Sources familiar with the case told VOM that pastor Cai and his wife will face an extremely harsh sentence because of their prominent role in the Beijing house church leadership.

VOM said this case has been handled directly by the Department of State Security. The ministry sources learned that a two-word handwritten directive, “Yan Ban!” (which means -- ‘to deal with this case harshly and severely’), was issued by Mr. Qiang Wei, deputy General Secretary of the Politics and Law Commission of Beijing.

The ministry also learned that the central government has labeled this case the “most serious case on overseas religious infiltration since the founding of the People’s Republic of China.”

Authorities were apparently shocked when they found around 200,000 copies of the Bible and other Christian literature in a storage room managed by pastor Cai.

“In China, only one publisher, affiliated with the officially-sanctioned Three-Self Patriotic Movement, is allowed to print Bibles and other Christian literature each year, and the numbers of these items are severely limited. These publications are forbidden to be sold in public bookstores,” says a VOM statement.

It adds: “With the rapid growth in the number of Christians every year, Chinese house churches sometimes find printers willing to print a few Bibles for extra cash instead of relying on Bibles smuggled from overseas. Sources close to one of pastor Cai’s churches said the confiscated Bibles and other Christian literature were solely for internal house church use, and that pastor Cai made no profit from them.”

Pastor Cai and his wife have a four-year-old son, Cai Yabo, who is now in the care of his grandmother. A prosecution source said this case is part of a broader national campaign that began this past June against the underground church and so-called “illegal” religious publications.

Chinese authorities are especially unhappy about a house church quarterly magazine called Love Feast (“AI YAN” www.AiYan.org) in which pastor Cai has been involved.

In several issues in the past, it published articles on President Bush’s faith and commemorations on Dr. Jonathan Chao, one of the most respected Chinese church historians, who passed away this year. These articles were not consistent with the Chinese government position on these issues.

According to the same source, the authorities are considering convicting pastor Cai and his wife, along with the other two relatives, on criminal charges such as tax evasion or illegal business management rather than on illegal religion charges. These criminal charges could lead to a life sentence. All four are now being held at Qinghe Detention Center, Haidian District, Beijing. So far none of their relatives have been allowed to visit them.

“All of those who have known pastor Cai over the years can testify that he and his wife are wonderful Christians with loving hearts for both the church in China and their motherland,” said Bob Fu, the president of China Aid Association (CAA), as well as a former coworker of pastor Cai. “We urge people of all faiths to take action to demand their immediate release.”

Letters of protest can be sent to the Chinese Embassy in Washington DC at the following address:
