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."

Someday you will be 13 Caleb (smiling) and by then you will probably learn that is is important to say, "Never say never." That's part of maturity.

As for Godzilla, who is very special and treasured here; feel free to FReepmail anyone of us (including Godzilla) if you have something off topic and personal to say.

Thanks Caleb.

I got what I call the heebie jeebie eeries when I passed an Amoco facility right outside O'Hare, it has a dozen enormous tanks and I've complained for a long time, seemingly not protected. I always envision a SAM hitting one and thousands, I mean many thousands would die. It is located right by the trailer court where the O'Hare plane crash of May 25, 1979 at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and resulted in 273 deaths.

SAM is Surface to Air Missile. It's used for taking out aircraft from the ground. The "low tech" approach for those storage tanks is to open the valve on a tank of gasoline and light it off. A jihadi with a death wish and a book of matches could it with ease.

"that I am 12 yrs old..I will not be back.."

I don't post much because of time restraints. Don't let one comment make you leave. ;0) At the very least, just lurk here like I do. Often, people take things the wrong way. This especially true on the anonymous keyboard world. Hang in there...

Excellent post by Aaron. Thanks Cindy.

I just find it strange that one person logs out before the explosion and now cannot be found.

Anything further on this A41? Have you been able to find out the person's name? - JustPiper


I could have sworn they reported that the person that "checked out" and was missing was identified as deceased when his body was found near the explosion site near a car.

I could be wrong though. ...snip....

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/03/24/plant.blast/

TEXAS CITY, Texas (CNN) -- One more body was found Thursday by searchers combing the ruins of part of a Texas refinery after an explosion at the site Wednesday, refinery officials said. That death brings the toll of those killed to 15. It is not clear whether the latest body found is that of the one person who had not yet been accounted for after the blast, although security records showed that person had checked out of the site before the explosion.

Man in Court for Having Soldier's Name and Address
Tue 29 Mar 2005
By Nick Allen, PA

A 21-year-old man will appear in court today charged under the Terrorism Act after he was allegedly found in possession of the name and home address of a British soldier.

Abu Baker Mansha was arrested in Thamesmead, south-east London, five days ago and was charged by detectives last night.

He will appear at Bow Street Magistrates Court in central London today.

Mansha was charged under Section 58 (1b) of the Terrorism Act, which deals with the collection of information that could be useful to terrorists.

It is alleged he was found with a piece of paper which had the soldier’s name and address written on it.

The charge says he “possessed a document, namely a piece of paper, containing the name and home address of a UK soldier – information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism”.

Hi JP,

A few days ago he posted a rather angry message about the censorship happening here at FR. It may have been pulled. I don't recall the number.

When I say rather angry I mean very angry. Not profane or abusive, just very expressive about the censorship.

While I do agree with him that there is censorship happening here on FR (especially on the immigration and muslim threads), I cannot raise my voice too loudly. This is a private website and the owner can do as he pleases.

This is the best source I have for terror info as well as conservative news and I want to stay so I'll not press my luck too far.

I figured something was going on in Russia, all of a sudden
almost no news coming out.

I think it is worst than that, there is no news anywhere. Maybe it is just because of Easter and the reporters honored Jesus this week. HA

Hope ALL had a Blessed Easter.

[Cindy]

Yep and thank you.

And will the lame-stream media pick it up?
Maybe, maybe not, but I'm glad the FReepers
appreciate each others hard and laborious work.

With all the warfare (F-16's, PC3 Orion, F22-P frigates) accessories that Pakistan is acquiring I hope Musharraf can maintain his authority. I posted a couple of articles about Musharraf protests last night. Things seem to be heating up over there (again). Here's another one:

F.P. Report

PESHAWAR: The top leadership of the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal on Monday renewed its vow to “topple the dictators” and force a drastic review of the government’s pro-US policies, which were hurting the interests of the country and the Muslim Ummah.

Speaking to a large number of participants of the million march here, the MMA leaders accused the government of denigrating heroes like Dr AQ Khan at the behest of the Bush administration and compromising on key issues in defiance of popular aspirations.

Qazi Hussain Ahmad, speaking to the mammoth crowd that caused long traffic snarl-ups and piqued commuters, asked the masses to observe a complete strike on April 2 as a token of resentment against “the anti-people and pro-America policies of General Musharraf.” He hoped people from Khyber to Karachi would take an active part in the strike.

The crowd replied with a big yes when Qazi asked if they would corporate with the MMA in making the strike a huge success, He urged the participants to convince transport associations and trade unions into going on strike, saying: “You may face inconvenience for a day but will win tremendous relief very soon.”

In a well-measured rhetoric, the Jamaat chief pledged the MMA’s movement would continue till the ouster of General Musharraf and establishment of a true Islamic order in the country. “We will stage a march on Islamabad if Musharraf continues clinging to his dual charge in violation to democratic norms.”

He alleged the rulers had compromised on the country’s nuclear programme, which was an effective guarantee of national defence. “Our rulers are even insulting and intimidating national heroes like Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan and other scientists only to please the USA.”

In his address to the highly responsive rally, opposition leader in National Assembly Maulana Fazlur Rahman asserted Musharraf would find it hard getting rid of the religious forces, which were resisting his efforts at implementing the American agenda.

He remarked the people of the NWFP had rejected “American supporters” in the past and would do likewise in the future as well. Fazl hoped Frontier residents would scuttle every attempt against the elected provincial government. He urged the people to peacefully observe the strike called by the MMA.

Central leader of Jamiat-i-Ahle Hadis and member of Supreme Council of MMA, Sajid Meer in his addressed said people of the NWFP had rejected the policies of Musharraf. He charged in the garb of enlightened moderation, vulgarity and obscenity was being promoted.

FROM GODZILLA FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE IN MY MAIL...WHY DID YOU SEND ME THIS GODZILLA I HAVE NOT POSTED ANYTHING IN AGES..THANKS FOR YOUR KINDNESS /SARC CALEB

My FM was in response to your flame baiting posting #2591 (so much for 'ages'). Would you prefered that I hit the abuse button and/or CCd the Jim Robinson / admin mod on the mail?I've seen how the other threads have been torn up because of those of your like mind. This thread is not the place for it. Had I wanted to make it a personal attack I would not have used FM.

You displayed in # 2591 no consideration for one of the FR rules - carrying a debate into another thread (a factor that you are continuing). You got a beef with Jim R. and his posting policy - talk to him. I stand by what I FMd to you. You are not going to get any sympathy from me and you are not going to intimidate me by trying to cast me as a mean evil monster (or was it a sheeple?). If you think Godzilla is an appropriate screen name, you'd better believe it.

With all the warfare (F-16's, PC3 Orion, F22-P frigates) accessories that Pakistan is acquiring I hope Musharraf can maintain his authority.

I hope so too. The vacumn his removal would take could only go one of two ways - Miltary coup / crackdown or Islamic Fundi take over. Neither is a good option and could indirectly trigger conflict with India.
