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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat

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."

You are definitely right about that.

There would also have to be large troop movements from the USA to Iraq in order to form the mechanized component that would follow up the airborne assault and link up with them.

So far I dont see it.

"Belgium to extradite Madrid bomb suspect"
The Australian ^ | March 23 2005


Posted on 03/23/2005 2:55:40 PM PST by knighthawk


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A BELGIAN court cleared the way today for a suspected Islamist militant to be sent to Spain where he is wanted for alleged involvement in the Madrid train bombings that killed 191 people last year.

The Supreme Court of Appeals rejected a final appeal by Moroccan-born Youssef Belhadj against his extradition to Spain, where he is suspected of being al-Qaeda's spokesman who claimed responsibility for the bombings in a videotape, a spokeswoman for the federal public prosecutor's office said.

Belhadj could be extradited any time in the next 10 days, but the spokeswoman said it would probably not take that long."

BELARUS: CHARISMATIC PASTOR FINED FOR ORGANIZING "ILLEGAL" WORSHIP

 

     Pastor Vyacheslav Goncharenko of the embattled Minsk-based charismatic New Life Church has been fined the equivalent of 30 times the minimum monthly wage in Belarus for organizing religious services without state permission.

 

     Speaking from the Belarusian capital (Belarus is in eastern Europe, http://aci.byelarus.com/where.php), church administrator Vasily Yurevich told Forum 18 News Service that a representative of Minsk's Moscow district court telephoned Goncharenko at home on March 21 and demanded that he turn up to court the next day. Goncharenko asked for a written summons.

 

     Soon afterwards, Forum 18 reported Yurevich said, a local police officer called the pastor and reiterated the demand for him to appear in court, threatening to take him in handcuffs if he didn't comply.

 

     Goncharenko again asked for a written summons, continued Yurevich, which was delivered to the pastor later that day.

 

     Forum 18 reported it received a copy of the undated document, which stated that Goncharenko must attend court "in the capacity of law-breaker" at midday on March 22.

 

     According to Yurevich, Forum 18 reported, 150 church members accompanied their pastor to the courthouse but were not admitted to the brief hearing as "the judge declared it closed." 

 

     The lack of witnesses combined with the short time between the summons and the hearing resulted in there being no defense for the pastor, Yurevich told Forum 18.

 

     "Once Pastor Goncharenko was admitted to the courtroom, a police officer blocked his exit," Yurevich told Forum 18. "When the door opened again, the judge simply told those waiting in the corridor outside that it was all over and announced the verdict."

 

     Forum 18 reported it  received a copy of the court's demand for Goncharenko to pay the Belarusian state the equivalent of 30 times the minimum monthly wage by April 6 2005.

 

     In addition to an appeal against the fine, New Life Church is also  preparing formal complaints to the Belarusian Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Internal Affairs regarding what it termed both irregular court procedure and police behavior, Yurevich told Forum 18.

 

     "The police treated church members roughly and tried to force them to leave the courthouse," he added.

 

     Refused rental of premises by every district administration in Minsk by Sept. 2004, the 600-strong New Life congregation has been meeting for worship at a disused cowshed it purchased in 2002, Forum 18 reported.

 

     The Minsk city authorities have denied the church permission to use this building for worship, to reconstruct it as a prayer house and to register at its address.

 

   Under the restrictive Belarusian 2002 religion law, all religious events require state permission unless held at a building expressly built for worship. 

 

     After Yurevich was fined 150 times the minimum monthly wage on Dec. 28 2004 for allegedly organizing "illegal" religious services at the cowshed, Forum 18 reported the Minsk city administration issued New Life an official warning on Dec.20. Under the 2002 religion law, a second warning would be sufficient to ban the church.

 

     According to Forum 18, state officials at a variety of levels have repeatedly told the news service that New Life's predicament is "all their fault," that they cannot register or worship at the cowshed because "you can only keep cows in a cowshed.

 

     In addition, Forum 18 reported, state officials said the church cannot reconstruct the building either, due to the absence of a prayer house in municipal plans to develop the area already approved by President Aleksandr Lukashenko.

 

     A March 2000 analysis of one of New Life's sister congregations by an expert at the Belarusian State Committee for Religious and Ethnic Affairs concluded, Forum 18 reported, that it is a "neo-mystical religious-political destructive sect" whose growth poses "a significant threat to the individual, society and state."

"NJ: Feds arrest members of violent Latino gang (MS-13)"
Newark Star Ledger ^ | 03.15.05


Posted on 03/23/2005 5:58:08 PM PST by ColeusARTICLE SNIPPET: "The roundup, called Operation Community Shield, began in late February and continued through last week. It focused on 103 gang members who had been flagged as illegal immigrants after being charged in a variety of crimes, from murder to shoplifting. With the immigration charges, they now face deportation or federal prison sentences.

"This is an opening shot in our war on MS-13," said Kyle Hutchins, special agent in charge of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Newark office.

A more sweeping criminal investigation of the gang, targeting money-making enterprises such as drug dealing and immigrant smuggling, is now under way, authorities said. At the same time, the FBI has set up a national task force targeting the gang.

The New Jersey arrests were made in communities with burgeoning populations of Hispanic immigrants:

In Long Branch, authorities arrested the leader and a member of an MS-13 chapter called "Long Branch Locotes Salvatrucha.""

I had pretty much forgotten about that label until my yellow dog democrat labor activist brother in law brought up Rex 84 during a political argument a while back. He
firmly believes that 911 was a military industrial complex
plot in conjunction with neocons to install a facist dictatorship in America, Rex 84 being part of the conspiracy. I was applying tin foil quite liberally during the discussion. However, in my ripe old middle age, I have learned never to say never.

You are thinking this may be an opening gambit against Iran? An op like that is going to require boots on the ground.

No, I think WND is echoing some bogus speculation at this time. But lets speculate IF a 3rd carrier task force is being positioned. It would tend to ratchet up the stick in contrast to any carrots being offered. AFA an air campaign, a shock and awe campaign against fixed targets would definitely take them out of the picture for a period, even if they are deeply buried - kinda hard to get to if the enterances are totalled and you have to excavate and shore up the tunnels just to get in to them again. These targets are mostly away from populated areas (unlike saddam), and strikes there would minimize collateral damage. Third, unless the Ailotaloahs (sp) are really feeling froggy, I think that they would be unlikely to try to counter attack on the ground, our air would eat them alive. With that said, I would be looking at a lot more tac air deploying to the gulf to handle any Iranian ground effort. I would also look for a 4th carrier group. If we do the strike, I'd expect every heavy bomber in the AF to go - mega shock and awe, after the sites. Key principle of war, massing of fire power while maintaining a reserve to handle contingencies. The bombers stationed out of deago garcia could handle site mop-up. I don't see the key pieces in movement - yet. But I also don't think the President will wait for a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv either.
