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!

I recall reading about that grouping.....confusion. Then we have the US welcoming former members of USSR into NATO. Then we have all the undercurrents of competition for oil pipeline routes....
(recall we almost had a financial deal with the Taliban over an oil pipeline deal....)
Now we have China and Russia announcing joint war games.

I am at a loss. Sooner rather than later a nuclear weapon is going to be detonated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Granny do you see the absurdity of this Who
is going to bomb Who?<<<<<<<

I don't know and am thinking they don't know either.

It is the same as when the handshake was invented.

It was first used to show that your hand did not contain a weapon.

Today it is more likely, mine is bigger and better than yours.

Maybe God will settle it with a #12 earthquake.

JORDAN FOILS TERROR PLOT AGAINST U.S.

1/5/2005, 2:40 p.m. ET
By SHAFIKA MATTAR
The Associated Press

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Prosecutors leveled charges against two suspected Jordanian terrorists after police foiled a plan to kill four American archeologists, security officials said Wednesday.

Jamil Mohammed Kutkut, 27, and Ibrahim Mohammed Zein al-Abedeen, better known by Jihad al-Qashah, 36, were charged with plotting to commit terrorist acts, illegal possession of automatic weapons and infiltrating Jordanian territories.

Prosecutors issued the charges recently, but it was unclear when.

No details were available on the American targets of the plot, which police say they foiled when they arrested Kutkut on Oct. 17. Al-Abedeen allegedly fled to Syria.

Officials suspect both men of belonging to Kata'eb al-Tawhid, Arabic for "Battalions of Monotheism," a Jordanian terror group headed by Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi and linked to al-Qaida.

Al-Zarqawi, 38, also heads the al-Qaida in Iraq group and is wanted for involvement in numerous attacks against U.S. and Iraqi security forces.

A charge sheet drawn up by Jordanian prosecutors alleges al-Abedeen approached Kutkut to carry a military attack against four Americans archaeologists working in the town of Hartha, near Irbid, 55 miles north of the capital, Amman.

Kutkut allegedly accepted the mission, cased the area and a school where the archaeologists lived, and gave al-Abedeen a Kalashnikov automatic weapon with ammunition.

But al-Abedeen allegedly fled to Syria because Jordanian officials want him in connection with another foiled plot, this one involving al-Zarqawi and 10 other terror suspects to carry out chemical and conventional attacks in Jordan, the charge sheet said.

It was unclear when al-Abedeen went to Syria or when the trial against him and Kutkut would begin. If convicted, both face the death penalty.

Jordan's military prosecutor has charged another four men with plotting to attack security officials, along with foreign and Israeli tourists, in Jordan, and illegal possession of an automatic weapon.

Police arrested Suleiman Sheikh-Ali, 28, and his cousin Omar Sheikh-Ali, 26, Riyad Abu-Duheileh, 29, and Ahmad Abu-Qatmeh, 51, in August and September. No further details were available, including when they will face trial.

Jordan is a key Arab ally of the United States and a peace partner to Israel, and has been targeted by al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida and other terrorists. Twenty-two Islamic militants, including al-Zarqawi, were convicted of plotting to attack U.S. and Israeli tourists during the kingdom's millennium celebrations.

Al-Zarqawi is believed to be directing anti-U.S. attacks and kidnappings in Iraq, and his group has beheaded several hostages. He has been sentenced to death for the 2002 killing of U.S. aid worker Laurence Foley in Jordan.

The album’s mix, done by Amjed Abdallah at Studio 8, is a bit suspect and doesn’t seem to capture the diverse qualities of Bramhall and the other musicians.

You are correct on all accounts. Somebody doesn't plan on somebody being around in a few years.

Putin is the biggest gangster of all. I think he believes he CAN take over the world.

On top of that muslims want to kill us all or convert.

The thing that blows me away is that America has never in any way appeared to want to take over anyone, YET they all think we are trying to.

Every time I get overwhelmed I remember what Bush said this is a war of good vs. evil, that is the only logical explanation.

4 razor blades found in HIA bag, officials say

A St. Louis man was arrested yesterday morning by Harrisburg International Airport Police and detained for several hours after security screeners found four razor blades in his carry-on bag, airport officials said.

Police issued Sajid Tufail Khan, 34, a summary disorderly conduct citation because he repeatedly denied having the razor blades in his bag, HIA spokesman Scott Miller said.

snip

Khan was taken to the airport's holding cell at 5:50 a.m. for questioning by the FBI and U.S. Customs officials. He was released just before noon after "all checks were negative," the police report said.

China has had troops on the N. Korea border for several months.

It is unclear as to why, some reports say it is that the Chinese do not want N. Korea to invade them

Others say it is to keep the many N. Koreans from escaping and coming to China.

Others say it is to be in position to invade if a war starts
between the North and South of Korea.

On your German Guy, that led off into never ending googles.

I did find that the commie sites loved his posts and are still using his statements as the talking points of the day on the call in radio talk shows.

They love his "exposes" of U.S. faults (as they see them).

But at least the 27th has passed and now we are back to the
same old game "did the feds stop it? or was it all a lie?"

LOL

It is good to have you back, I missed you.

[all4one]

"He was released just before noon after "all checks were negative," the police report said."

OMG!! How call "all checks be negative"....he was found with 4 RAZOR BLADES in his carry on bag!!! So even with this incident....they let him go!! I am sure that AQ isn't using people who have 10 strikes against them, or any criminal background for that matter! When suicide bombers enter mess tents, buses, crowded markets and detonate their bomb....IT IS USUALLY THEIR FIRST AND LAST INCIDENT!!!

Didn't see this posted here:

"Feds search for Middle Eastern man who tried to buy same explosive McVeigh used By John Solomon, Associated Press, 1/5/2005 15:43 WASHINGTON (AP) Federal authorities searched Wednesday for a man using a Middle Eastern name and possibly bogus construction credentials to try to purchase large quantities of an explosive ingredient used by Timothy McVeigh to blow up the Oklahoma City federal building.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said there was no indication that terrorism was involved, but the agency was still checking information that came from a company in Canada that reported the attempted purchase as suspicious."

Cabal found this very enlightening thread concerning Craig of Prophet of Doom , please READ:

Thanks JP for posting Cabal's find. Internet or not, it is clearly a death threat and should be reported to proper authorities. Yup, the religion of peace at work intimidating via internet and litigating in courtrooms courtesy of the traitorous ACLU to bully Americans into accepting their dictates or the consequences if not.
