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."

"Iraqi, U.S. Forces Gain Ground Against Terrorists"
American Forces Press Service



WASHINGTON, March 30, 2005 – American, coalition and Iraqi security troops and police landed a series of blows against international terrorists in Iraq in recent days, the military officials in Iraq reported today.

Near Kirkuk on March 29 U.S. soldiers detained an individual for throwing a grenade at a combat patrol. The patrol was securing the site of an improvised explosive device detonation when the suspect drove by and tossed a grenade at the soldiers, who returned fire and destroyed the vehicle.

No injuries to U.S. soldiers or equipment damage occurred.

Also March 29, U.S. soldiers engaged the vehicle of a known terrorist, killing one terrorist and injuring another during action in Tal Afar. The troops of the 2nd Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team), also seized a number of weapons found in the vehicle, to include a machine gun, two AK-47s, two hand grenades and six rocket-propelled grenade rounds.

The injured terrorist was taken to a hospital and will be detained after being treated. No injuries to coalition forces were reported during the operation.

Also, American soldiers seized a weapons cache in Tikrit March 29. The cache consisted of two 107 mm rockets, two 120 mm and two 152 mm artillery rounds, two homemade launch tubes, and preset timers. Some items were kept for study by coalition forces, and some were identified for future destruction.

On March 28, Iraqi security forces found a large terrorist base in Salman Pak, south of Baghdad. The Iraqi forces stormed the base, overcame light resistance and disabled several improvised explosive devices. Several weapons, munitions and two IEDs were found on the scene. More than 90 suspected terrorists were captured and are being questioned.

"This operation was the first major joint operation between the (Iraqi Special Operations Forces) Brigade, Iraqi police forces and conventional coalition forces," said Brig. Gen. Karl Horst, assistant commander to Task Force Baghdad. "This operation represents the significant progress that Iraqi Security Forces are making to make all of Iraq a safer place for it's citizens."

And U.S. soldiers discovered eight weapons caches near a U.S. military supply route south of Baghdad March 27. The soldiers used metal detectors to find the hidden weapons, which included 58 assorted artillery and mortar rounds, 11 rocket-propelled grenade heat rounds and three RPG launchers.

The Americans also uncovered six RPG anti-personnel rounds, 1,000 6.3 mm primers, a machine gun, an AK-47 rifle, and more than 400 rounds of ammunition. Other munitions found include 100 time fuses, 39 booster charges of various sizes, 10 blasting caps, five mortar fuses, two armored vests, detonation cord and a wide assortment of electronic equipment.

Also March 27, Iraqi soldiers with the 1st Army Brigade, 6th Division, arrested an Iraqi police master sergeant accused of being the leader of a terror cell. The suspect is also believed to be responsible for the bombing of the Al-Baratha Mosque. The Iraq soldiers also found three RPGs and arrested an individual who fired one of them.

U.S. soldiers in central Baghdad found an IED in a shoebox March 27. A Navy explosive ordnance detachment was on the scene and safely detonated the device. Also, other American soldiers reported an IED on a military service route. The device was made from a 130 mm projectile. EOD arrived on the scene and conducted a controlled detonation.

“In IED attacks initiated against Multinational Division Baghdad, 70 percent have been ineffective at producing a casualty," said Lt. Col. Clifford Kent, Task Force Baghdad spokesperson. This, he said, “can be attributed to the technological advances in equipment, armor protection and the fact that we are capturing or killing experienced anti-Iraqi forces."

Iraqi police responded March 27 in south central Baghdad when U.S. soldiers came under small-arms fire. The Iraqi police pursued the suspect down the street. The Iraqis and Americans secured the area and searched for the suspect. The Iraqis later caught the suspect and took him in custody.

On March 26 Iraqi Army troops arrested a Pakistani father and two of his sons after receiving a tip. The men were found with cell phones, false passports, passport-making equipment and anti-coalition literature.

Terror Web Site Has JFK Airport Map, Missile Instructions

UPDATED: 8:29 pm EST March 30, 2005

NEW YORK -- A Web site with connections to the Iraqi insurgency posted a schematic map of JFK International Airport in New York City, along with a manual on how to use shoulder-fired missiles, NBC News' Lisa Myers reported on Wednesday.

NBC News obtained the information showing potential terrorists how to down civilian airplanes by using the missiles. The Internet posting also contained a simple map of JFK Airport, plotting flight paths of planes and the security perimeter. The Web site also showed a sketch of a terrorist shooting a missile at a plane from a rooftop.

New York officials are aware of the information, and said they have warned security personnel at JFK and the Department of Homeland Security.

For more information, read Lisa Myers' story by clicking this MSNBC.com link.

Good morning ffnj. JFK map found, huh? Kinda like the 6 Iraqis found at the mex border.

Nothing to see here. Move along. We now resume our regularly scheduled michael jackson programming.....hey, look what martha is up to now....

The FACT that all this is happening and the gov't STILL insists that nothing is going on AND the sheeple are buying it is making me ill.

If the majority of folk in this country see fit to do nothing about what's REALLY happening, then we get what we deserve.

Keep your powder dry folks.

Very interesting. What a bunch of dorks what American in their right mind would want to join the idiots of AQ?

I've been a bit quiet lately because I'm a bit shaken, if that's the right word. I'm starting to wonder if by using the translators to gather the info from the jihadi sites could also get me or my family in trouble with the .gov (just due to some of the situations I'm seeing in the news lately). I still want to help fight the good fight and get the information out to the people. I'm sure my feelings will pass. Just know I'm here lurking, even if I am quiet, and thank you all so much for keeping me up to date!

peace all

If they are following your cyber pathway they will see you are posting to conservative/anti terror sites. I wouldn't worry about the .gov but I would worry about the possibility that someone in a jihadi site could be following your trail...keep your cyber shields up and clean your cache, history, etc. at the end of your cyber duty (and it is an honorable duty in homeland defense you are doing, a point of light, as President Bush called it.)

Palestinian Terrorists Step Up Arms Smuggling

Margot Dudkevitch (Jerusalem Post):
Hizballah, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas have intensified their efforts to smuggle weapons from Egypt to cells operating in the territories, with the increasing involvement of Negev Bedouin, according to an internal Shin Bet document.



Between July 2004 and February 2005, 180 anti-tank rockets, five anti-aircraft missiles, 600 kilograms of explosives, 3,000 rifles, 400 handguns, and 400,000 rounds of ammunition were smuggled from Egypt into the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
