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."

Snippet from the post:
"McDonalds, Burger king, Pizza hut, Dairy Queen, Dominoes Pizza, Chilies"

OK JP, you can peruse all these sites:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22McDonalds,+Burger+king,+Pizza+hut,+Dairy+Queen,+Dominoes+Pizza,+Chilies%22&hl=en&lr=&filter=0

and if you want JP, take another phrase from the post and you'll find more garbage sites carrying this stuff.

FYI.

Thanks JP.

That report is fascinating.

Three years or so prior to 911, Jiang Zemin visited Pearl Harbor with interest. I found the pics taken that day of him looking out over the water disconcerting.

Thank you Donna.
I'm so sorry to hear about his death.

"...disconcerting."

Washington’s Darkest Secret
Until six weeks before 9/11, for nearly a decade the CIA reportedly had a mole buried inside al Qaeda in a trusted position close to Osama bin Laden. Suddenly, his reports stopped. The CIA assumed that he was discovered, tortured and killed. Before he died, he likely revealed 9/11 plans.

"Shin Bet Foils Museum Attack in Israel"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Efrat Weiss (Yediot Ahronot-Ynet):
Security authorities foiled a planned terror attack in February at the Armored Corps Museum at Latrun near the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway. The General Security Service said a Popular Front cell planned to dispatch two suicide bombers and a car bomb to the busy tourist site. The group also planned a shooting attack on an IDF jeep on the Ramallah bypass road. They charted IDF movements in the area, and even sought out hiding places in Bir Zeit in which to hide the kidnapped bodies of their victims.

"Two Iraqis Charged in Zarqawi Cash Aid"
Tue Apr 5,12:10 AM ET
Europe - AP
By KARL RITTER, Associated Press Writer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Two Iraqis detained in Sweden for almost a year were charged Monday with collecting and transferring money to terrorists, including Abu Musab Zarqawi, the most wanted terrorist in Iraq.


Stockholm prosecutors said Ali Berzengi, 29, and Ferman Abdulla, 25, collected more than $148,000 and transferred it to Iraq.


The recipients included Ansar al-Islam, a group believed to have links with al-Qaida, prosecutors said.



The suspects also transferred money to Zarqawi, whose al-Qaida in Iraq group is believed to be behind numerous deadly attacks on American troops and U.S.-trained Iraqi forces, prosecutors said. There is a $25 million bounty for Zarqawi.


The men also sent funds "to persons in Iran for forwarding to Iraq," prosecutors said.


They said some of the money — at least $70,000 — was linked to Feb. 1, 2004, suicide bombings in the northern Iraqi city of Irbil that killed 109 people."

"The weakest spot"
Cal Thomas

April 6, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Department of Homeland Security conducted a simulated terrorism drill this week in Connecticut and New Jersey to assess the speed and effectiveness of law enforcement and emergency medical personnel.

Rep. Chris Cox, California Republican and chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said a major reason for the drill was to find our "weak spots."

What does it say about our anti-terrorist efforts if we are now preparing for disasters in Connecticut and New Jersey instead of directing substantial efforts on our weakest spot: the borders?"
