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'm not familiar with the NE at all. Is that a urban downtown area, or a residential area, or...? Sure seems to be a point of interest.

Kuwait boosts security after busting militant Islamist cell

KUWAIT CITY : Kuwait put nationwide security forces on full alert Sunday after busting a suspected Islamist militant cell that included Saudi citizens in a deadly shootout near a US base and the emirate's oil lifeline.

Security was racheted up to "the maximum" around oil facilities in the OPEC member, Energy Minister Sheikh Ahmad Fahd al-Sabah announced after the weekly cabinet meeting, dominated by fears of spiralling insecurity

Soon we may see fighting among Muslims and people of other religions in various communities. Recall the AQ threats that once their "hittings" started, Muslims would be wise not to worship in the mosques- those who could not evacuate the US, of course.

I fear things are going to get alot worse, and soon.

Jersey is a blend of just about everything. Decaying urban areas, beautiful upscale communities, beaches, forests, small towns, and the extremely nasty areas around Secaucus,Jersey City, Newark, etc---crammed with fuel depots, gas storage, chemicals, burning tires, decay and rot, polluted brackish waters- you name it, it's there.

Border watch tightens
By TOM GODFREY, TORONTO SUN

Canadian border security is being escalated to head off troublemakers going to the U.S. for Thursday's inauguration of President George W. Bush. U.S. security said the event will feature the tightest security in inaugural history, with police searching thousands of spectators along the Washington, D.C., parade route with metal detectors.

As early as today Canada Customs officers will begin using dogs, X-ray and other hi-tech machines to check for bombs or explosives in vehicles, trucks and goods crossing into the U.S.

Customs officials with both countries said yesterday they do not expect the measures to cause delays at border crossings.

Patrizia Giolti of the Canada Border Services Agency said she couldn't discuss security measures.

"We continue to be vigilant," Giolti said yesterday. "We work with other law enforcement partners to protect the border."

U.S. security planners said they have no intelligence indicating terrorists will strike, but they aren't taking chances.

Meanwhile, U.S. homeland security officials said two Canadian men suspected of being linked to terror groups were refused entry into the U.S. last summer.

The department, in statistics released last week, said one man was refused entry at the Detroit tunnel after officers found Pakistani documents and a photo of soldiers in a vehicle with a sign "Allah's Soldiers."

Another man on a Greyhound bus crossing at the Rainbow Bridge was detained and refused entry after an alert showed he was connected to three suspected terrorists.

Department officers last year refused entry to almost 20,000 criminal aliens, nabbed 400 travellers for terrorism concerns, received 1.8 million alerts, seized about 25,000 kilos of dope and arrested 1.1 million illegal aliens, of whom about 12,000 were nabbed at the Canadian border, the release said.

Odd times we live in.

I was in the grocery the other day. It was a bit busy but not too bad and I was waiting like everyone else. I noticed a guy next to me, he seemed very agitated and I noticed he looked like he could be middle eastern, an Atta type for sure.

So I watch him a little more closely and he is fingering something that looks like it was a cell phone but I couldn't see enough of it to tell. And he is clearly nervous, looking around, fingering that "phone".

And, I really started to get uncomfortable. Ofcourse, I guess, it turned out to be a swarthy young guy in a hurry but what a way to live---

Next stop: Iran

Yank commandos already in place, mag says

BY JAMES GORDON MEEK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - U.S. commandos are hunting for secret nuclear and chemical weapons sites and other targets in Iran, and have a plan to turn the hard-line Islamic country into the next front in the war on terrorism.
"It's not if we're going to do anything against Iran. They're doing it," an ex-intelligence official tells this week's issue of The New Yorker.

Since at least last summer, the U.S. teams have penetrated eastern Iran, reportedly with Pakistan's help, the magazine said.

"Iraq is just one campaign," the official told investigative reporter Seymour Hersh. "The Bush administration is looking at this as a huge war zone. Next, we're going to have the Iranian campaign."

The aim is to rid America and its allies of a major state sponsor of terrorism, Hersh writes.

"We've declared war and the bad guys, wherever they are, are the enemy," the official tells Hersh. "This is the last hurrah - we've got four years and want to come out of this saying we won the war on terrorism."

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, whom President Bush has asked to stay on in his second term, has been jockeying for more power to conduct covert ops without nagging congressional oversight.

"It's a global free-fire zone," said one Pentagon adviser.

Iran has fought tooth and nail demands that it open its nuclear energy program for inspection, fueling suspicion that the charter member of President Bush's "axis of evil" is up to no good.

That same secrecy also has heightened tensions with another axis member with nuclear ambitions, North Korea.

Pentagon neoconservatives - hard-liners who include Rumsfeld and his deputy Paul Wolfowitz - believe that surgical strikes on a small list of military targets will minimize civilian casualties and may spark an uprising by reformers against the ruling fundamentalist mullahs, current and ex-officials said.

Hersh told CNN that if targets are lined up by this summer, U.S. attacks could soon follow.

They "want to go into Iran and destroy as much of the military infrastructure as possible," a Pentagon consultant told Hersh.

Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz believe that, just as with some Soviet-bloc countries, "the minute the aura of invincibility the mullahs enjoy is shattered ... the Iranian regime will collapse," the consultant said.

Yet Rep. Peter King (R-L.I.) of the House International Relations Committee said, "I wouldn't assume the Iranian regime will just collapse."

With combat operations still raging in Afghanistan and Iraq, where the hunt for weapons of mass destruction came up empty, Bush would have to explain fully a new call for military action against Iran, King said.

"He'd have to get the people behind it," King told the Daily News. "But you'd have to factor in that the American public would be somewhat suspicious."

But Bush aides are "compulsively optimistic" that the mullahs have a fragile hold on power, and they are sure to strike soon, predicted defense analyst John Pike of GlobalSecurity.org.

"I think they're going to do it," he told The News. "I'm skeptical that diplomacy will succeed."

While presidential counselor Dan Bartlett complained that Hersh's story was "riddled with inaccuracies," he notably did not outright deny any of it.

"No President at any juncture in history has ever taken military options off the table," Bartlett told CNN's "Late Edition." "What President Bush has shown [is] that he believes we can emphasize the diplomatic initiatives that are under way right now."
