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!

Almost time for Thread 24?

BTW, it says "Removed by C@ndi with an eye "

I confirm that, just looked. Do you think this action consists of a preliminary move or a "GO CODE?"

I was thinking it could be a useful tool as well.

"Border high on board's D.C. agenda"

Herald/Review

BISBEE -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "To press for immigration reform, for example, Call said to tell the Washingtonians that county schoolchildren feel threatened when they walk to the bus in the morning because of illegal immigrants along the roads.

The list of legislators targeted during Tuesday's work session includes Arizona Reps. Jim Kolbe, Rick Renzi, Ed Pastor, Jeff Flake, Raul Grijalva and Henry Waxman of California, and Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl.

Newman asked Call whether or not a visit to the Department of Defense regarding the protection of Fort Huachuca during the Base Realignment and Closure process would be worthwhile.

Call said representatives from the city of Sierra Vista and the Fort Huachuca 50 also will be in Washington and he plans to stay in contact with them.

Call said he also plans to spend time with the U.S./Mexico Border Counties Coalition, which is having its legislative conference in Washington at the same time."

Danish Citizen Arrested as Hizballah Agent Danish Citizen Arrested as Hizballah Agent

Yaakov Katz and Margot Dudkevitch (Jerusalem Post):
Iyad Alasuah, 39, a Danish citizen of Lebanese origin who was arrested on Jan. 6 while on a train from Nahariya to Haifa, videotaping the passing scenery through the train window, was identified Wednesday as a Hizballah agent.



He confessed that in July 2004 he had been recruited into Hizballah by relatives living in Lebanon.


He said he was ordered to travel to Israel disguised as a tourist to collect security information and to recruit Israeli Arabs into the terror organization. He succeeded in recruiting two Israeli Arab suspects.


"Hizballah used an Arab with a Western passport to fool the Israeli security service," the police said.

"Who keeps Hizballah online?"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "1. Introduction


Of the Hizballah websites currently tracked by the Haganah, 25 are active.


One is hosted in the UK.


Two are hosted in Iran.


The remaining 22 sites are hosted by companies in the United States.


Furthermore, the domain names for all but one of those sites are registered with and maintained by companies in the United States.


All these companies are in some way profiting from an ongoing business relationship with a designated Terrorist organization."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


TASK FORCE 1-18, ISF SOLDIERS FOIL POLLING SITE ATTACK

TIKRIT, Iraq -- Alpha Company, 1-112 Infantry, a National Guard company based out of the Pittsburgh area, and Soldiers from the 201st Iraqi Army Battalion established a hasty traffic control point Jan. 22 north of Tikrit, in the area called Kadasia, and swiftly apprehended two insurgents.

The Soldiers operating the traffic control point identified the suspected vehicle as it approached their position, slowed the vehicle and instructed the passengers to get out of the car. The occupants of the vehicle, one of whom was an Iraqi National Police officer, were found in possession of a 120-millimeter artillery round wired as an improvised explosive device.

The Explosive Ordinance Disposal team arrived on site and destroyed the device. Through questioning, the insurgents revealed their plan to place the explosive device at an elections polling site in the area.

The intelligence developed by the Tikrit Joint Coordination Center increases the Iraqi Security Forces’ ability to react to actionable intelligence and thwart insurgents schemes to disrupt Iraqi elections.

Lieutenant Colonel Amir, the 201st Iraqi Army executive officer, was pleased with the progress of his staff in developing intelligence.

“Our battalion operates better every day, and today we showed that we can make the elections safe,” he said. (Story by Capt. Michael Prudhomme, Task Force 1-18 Infantry)

Ashcroft: Nuke Threat the Largest Danger

WASHINGTON - The possibility that al-Qaida or its sympathizers could gain access to a nuclear bomb is the greatest danger facing the United States in the war on terrorism, Attorney General John Ashcroft (news - web sites) said Thursday.

U.S. officials "from time to time" uncover evidence terrorists are trying to develop nuclear capability, Ashcroft said without providing any specifics. It is not clear whether they have made any progress, but the United States must take the threat seriously, he said in an interview with The Associated Press.

"If you were to have nuclear proliferation find its way into the hands of terrorists, the entire world might be very seriously disrupted by a few individuals who sought to impose their will, their arcane philosophy, on the rest of mankind," he said.

Ashcroft, 62, is ending four years as the nation's chief law enforcement officer, much of the period devoted to a war on terrorism that began with the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He will leave office when his successor, Alberto Gonzales, is confirmed by the Senate and sworn in, possibly next week.

Since the 2001 attacks, the staunchly conservative Ashcroft has been vilified by political opponents, civil liberties groups and privacy advocates for pushing controversial counterterrorism policies, which critics say undermine freedoms. They include the Patriot Act, which bolstered FBI (news - web sites) surveillance and law enforcement powers in terror cases; increased use of material witness warrants to hold suspects incommunicado for months; and secret proceedings in immigration cases.

Ashcroft made no apology for his actions, saying he has enjoyed full support from President Bush (news - web sites).

"The president understands that this is almost mission impossible, to keep winning every day," he said. "To be always the winner and never be the loser is a very difficult task. The world is not absent terror. But the United States has been absent terror."

His greatest failure, Ashcroft said, was in not fully explaining to the American people early on just how the Patriot Act has helped in that war. Time will prove that the law has not been the threat to the Constitution seen by some, he said.

"Rights have not been infringed. Human dignity has not suffered. It's been enhanced and it has not carried a cost or toll on the civil liberties of America," Ashcroft said.

More than 375 people have been charged in terror-related prosecutions in the United States since the 2001 attacks, with 195 either convicted or entering guilty pleas. Yet Ashcroft said officials continue to receive reports of "individuals who are sympathizers" with al-Qaida or other terror groups coming into the United States after meeting with people overseas with links to terrorism or attending events that include "inappropriate extremist or terrorist instruction."

"We have to remain on guard. America, as open and free as it is, is going to have to pay a price in terms of understanding and being vigilant about potentials that freedom and openness are associated with," he said.

Ashcroft also said the Justice Department (news - web sites) deserved praise for handling some 400 corporate malfeasance cases, helping drive the nation's crime rate to 30-year lows and making strides in civil rights prosecutions — all while dealing with the terror threat.

As for his own future, Ashcroft would not reveal detailed plans. But the two-term Missouri governor and one-term senator said flatly, "I don't expect in any way to run for office again."

Ashcroft said he would remain in the Washington area, probably make some speeches and take a private-sector job advising corporations on such things as "integrity in the marketplace." He also might work in academia.
