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!

"Jihadists" living in Oregon, FBI says (1/26/05)

By RUKMINI CALLIMACHI PORTLAND — The FBI knows of "jihadists" who have trained in terrorist camps in Afghanistan and are now living in Oregon, the agency's Oregon chief said in an interview with The Associated Press yesterday.

Asked what he meant by "bad neighborhoods," he said Afghanistan, as well as several other countries he would not specify......

Popular Georgia Country Store Turns Into Site of Chaotic Shootout

By Eliott C. McLaughlin Associated Press Writer Published: Jan 26, 2005

ATLANTA (AP) - When two men walked into a popular country store outside Atlanta, announced a holdup and fired a shot, owners Bobby and Gloria Doster never hesitated. The pair pulled out their own pistols and opened fire.

The armed suspect and his partner were killed. The Dosters won't be charged, according to local officials, because they were acting in self-defense.

"I just started shooting," said Gloria Doster, 56. "I was trying to blow his brains out is what I was trying to do."

Shoats Grocery & Package near Crawford, 70 miles east of Atlanta, is a well-known spot where locals stop for breakfast biscuits or lunch. Gloria Doster said the two men who came there Monday had something else in mind....

Thank you for the ping, the above makes perfect sense to me,
maybe they should now move to Oregon and clean it up.

I fail to understand why terrorists are released, arrest them for their own protection.

That they would not have released the threat in Las Vegas is not a surprise.

Remember when we worked so hard on the Red Sea, and the pyramid casino.....

When this thread started, they took over a year to release the threat to Las Vegas.

I think of it in the same class as the Boston Threat of last week......it didn't exist, it was a false alarm, they said yesterday.

May I add that it ceased to be a threat, as soon as they found an airplane load of Chinese people?

Keep working folks, we are marching down the middle, with only half the game pieces.

i dont like how the feds are aware of them but there are no arrests, not comforting that "the cells are there but not infiltrated".

Did you notice the last paragraph of the main story.

It says Iran has arrested scientists and technicians, that it feel may be involved in leaking secrets to us.

We will never know when they die or if they are guilty.

From Cindy's link to the Iran thread.
