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."

Yep...found it on a breaking news site...have yet to see it reported anywhere on MSM. Considering the multiple scenarios for an ignition spark....well maybe it was just some type of malfunctioning car....but my gut feeling is that it could be more than that.

The following article is not TM related...but just a chilling example of the world in which we live...and the predators who are lurking and looking to take our precious children. One need not look further than the recent Florida kidnapping...but this article lists another sicko and his abilty to get access to children...thankfully this has a good ending.

Sunday School List Found In Pocket Of Sex Offender (PA - 3/30/05)

Suspect Had Not Registered With Local Official Under Megan's Law

POSTED: 7:45 pm EST March 30, 2005 UPDATED: 7:55 pm EST March 30, 2005

BENSALEM, Pa. -- A convicted sex offender was arrested Monday in Bucks County for failing to register with the state.

But what really had police concerned was what was in the man's pocket when he was arrested. Last week at the Neshaminy Mall, a security guard noticed a man staring at children in the food court and contacted authorities.

He was later identified as John Bucher. When Bucher was arrested eight days later, he had a suspicious list on him....

Investigators are considering the possibility a car's ignition caused the blast in the plant's isomerization unit, which boosts octane levels in gasoline, U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board spokesman Daniel Horowitz said.

While not necessarly terroristic, it is a sign of very poor and lax safety measures. There are generally strict rules about ANY spark producing device within a refinery, at least here in CA. Normally a permit (internal to the refinery) is needed and safety has to ensure that it is properly grounded and away from potential trouble.

It seems that in order for this to be a deliberate act, one would have to be certain that sufficient levels of chemical vapor are in the air around the spark source. This brings up the question: is it possible to either predict or control the level with sufficient accuracy and timing to intentionally trigger an explosion?

Given the amount of basic security in place, it makes sense that a relatively innocuous mechanism would have to be adapted as a trigger, rather than trying to sneak a dedicated device through the gate.

Preliminary thoughts....

That, and a phrase running through my head from several months ago - "Tip of the EarthX passes As She bled" -- TEXAS

These tanks by O'Hare are very close in proximity supporting airline fuel. Also very close to all main roads and next to the trailer court infamous in that crash. How far would it spread Myr?

Hard to quantify that without doing a site survey. Consider that 8 oz of aviation gasoline detonates with the force of 15 sticks of dynamite. The night time air show exhibitions at the Miramar Naval Air Station included detonation of 55 gallon drums of gasoline. They would set off about 10 drums in quick succession to simulate a bombing pass. The explosions rattled the windows in my house 2 miles from the runway. The whole sky was a blazing orange for about a minute.

Feel free to scale up your storage tanks against that example.

"Warner signs measure denying public benefits to illegal aliens"


By Christina Bellantoni
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Virginia Gov. Mark Warner yesterday signed into law a measure that denies illegal aliens public benefits, including access to Medicaid, welfare and local health care services.
    "I have signed this legislation into law but will ask the Latino Advisory Commission to study and monitor the legislation to ensure that it is fairly implemented and does not impose undue costs on local governments," said Mr. Warner, a Democrat who is in his last year in office."

Take a look at this link for an aerial view of the tank farm at O'Hare. The basins around each tank would confine the contents around the tank. A big detonation might spread to adjacent tanks.
