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!

U.S. works 'day and night' to rein in al-Qaida
Full Story

WASHINGTON - Prompted by new intelligence indicating Osama bin Laden reached out to the most feared terrorist in Iraq, President Bush charged Thursday that "al-Qaida still hopes to attack us on our own soil."

"Recently, we learned that Osama bin Laden has urged the terrorist Zarqawi to form a group to conduct attacks outside Iraq, including here in the United States," Bush said at the swearing-in of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff.

The president vowed, "We're working every day and night to dismantle (bin Laden's) network and to bring him to justice."

He is, thank you. They may actually kick him out of the hospital today, and he's anxious to get back on his feet so he doesn't lose too much muscle tone.

I'm impressed that at 78 years old he has come through this so well. I guess if I take care of myself I should be in pretty good shape for quite some time.

[crabbie]

That's great. We should all be in that good shape!

First time that I had heard of lasers as a murder weapon.

Might work, they use them in surgery, so it might be interesting to know how they work in murder.

Would they heat the organ to the point that it wouldn't work?

"Can Hezbollah and Hamas Be Democratic?"

More to the point, I read this as: Are Hezbollah and Hamas Democrats?

[bored at work]

I've seen what lazers can do. Can cut a man in half. But poison a person? I dont think so . . .

[ExSoldier]

Rex84 ?

I haven't seen that designation in quite awhile. Sent chills down my spine. Do you know who was instrumental in the formation of Rex84? I was surprised to find it was Oliver North. Folks who are unfamiliar with Rex84 Can switch on their TinFoil hats and click here: REX84 My own tinfoil hat just glows when I remember this stuff.

Panama's Security Chief: al-Qaida Is Here


Time to fill in another country on the Tiny Minority of Extremists World Map. From NewsMax, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports that the al-Qaida terrorist group is active in Panama and may be making the Central American country a base of operations.

Panamanian security chief Javier Martinez, speaking at a U.S.-organized seminar in his country earlier this month, said al-Qaida also is planning an attack on the Panama Canal.


The paper did not cite additional specifics.

Al-Jazeera to Be Launched in English in America


Jihad TV is coming! From Arab News, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

WASHINGTON, 22 March 2005 — Al-Jazeera news channel, the bete noire of both the Bush administration and many Arab governments, is shown on a daily basis to 35 to 50 million Arab households throughout the world.

Soon Americans will be viewing it in their homes — in English....



And a moral equivalence alert from the WaPo's former Baghdad chatter chief:

“The US needs to find a way to engage the Arab media, rather than shut down, marginalize, and ostracize news mediums such as Al-Jazeera,” said Rajiv Chandrasekaran, the Washington Post’s former Baghdad bureau chief.


Hugh Fitzgerald discusses Rajiv Chandrasekaran's remark here.

WND is echoing an earlier report of US carrier movements to the Persian gulf. The origional report was in an Indian publication of questionable veracity. One of the carriers (Vinson) was publically reported to be in the persian gulf prior to the initial reports. I haven't seen anything to confirm, so the RUMINT factor is high - don't get excited too quickly.

As-Salamu Alaykum Dear MWU! Readers and Friends,

As some of you may already know, muslimwakeup.com is not online at this time.

Apparently, hackers placed an illegal "spoofing" file on our server that had caused our hosting provider to shut us down. This has meant that our main site, the Forums, even our email are down. We're working with the company that hosts our site to try to resolve this problem and get back online as soon as possible.

However, it has become clear based on the continuing hacking incidents that have plagued us ever since December that we need to migrate to a much more secure hosting set-up that also provides us with the additional bandwidth requirements that are now necessary based on the dramatic increase in our traffic over the past several weeks.

The attacks against us only prove that we've become more effective than ever in reaching a worldwide audience of Muslims, and people who trade in fear and intimidation want to stop us.

Of course, a more secure system also means increased costs, so whether we will be able to do this will depend on your help.

Please show your support for MWU! and help us come back even stronger than before. It's all up to YOU.
Any amount will help--as little as $5 or as much as $100 or more.
