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!

Details show extent of terror plot against U.S.
Full Story

We now know more about an alleged attack that triggered an increased national threat level last summer.

That's when U.S. officials said they had uncovered a plot targeting financial institutions. The plot involved bombs, banks and British nationals.

The detail was startling, the targets enormous. They included financial buildings in Washington, New York and New Jersey.

"SYRIAN REGIME - PALESTINIAN TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS"
April 4, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Syrian régime allows Palestinian terrorist organizations to train operatives to perpetrate attacks on Israel : On March 2, 2005 , the Israeli Security Agency (ISA) arrested Osama Matar, a Hamas operative from the Gaza Strip, who had undergone military training in a camp near Damascus while studying in Syria . The training was aimed at improving Hamas' capability to launch major attacks, particularly the detonation of explosive-packed tunnels. It was conducted by Hamas instructors at a PFLP/GC 1 base while the Syrian régime turned a blind eye.
(Information revealed by Osama Matar under interrogation by the ISA)"

ARTICLE SNIPPET No.2: "“The Tunnels of Hell,” a movie produced by Hamas' information department and which appeared in a Hamas forum on the Internet on March 24, 2005 . The movie praises and glorifies the explosive-packed tunnels."

Two of Pakistan's international airports were put on high alert on Friday because of a terror threat, a security official said. "We have put Karachi and Lahore international airports on high-security alert after some specific aviation-related threats," Major Riaz Ahmad, a spokesman for the Airport Security Force, told Reuters.

"Security at both these airport has been beefed up on an intelligence report," he said without providing details. Earlier this week, the U.S. consulate in Karachi remained closed for three days after its officials received threatening telephone calls. It was not clear whether the threats were linked.

Just curious that there seems to be a number of 'pushes' on in different places now...

1. USA
2. UK
3. Iraq
4. Afghanistan
5. Pakistan
6. Saudi Arabia

Too many intersections in the time period to suit me...

Border volunteers want to expand to other states

TUCSON, Arizona (AP) -- Organizers of a project that uses civilian volunteers to watch for illegal immigrants and smugglers along the Arizona-Mexico border want to expand their efforts to other border states this fall.

Participants in the Minuteman Project have been patrolling a stretch of the southeastern Arizona border since earlier this month, but they would like to organize patrols in other high-traffic smuggling areas.

Bush questions border I.D. rules

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Plans requiring passports from people entering the United States don't pass muster with President Bush, who has ordered a review of this border security effort amid fears it would impede legal travel from Canada, Mexico and other U.S. neighbors.

The president said Thursday he was surprised by the proposed rules announced last week by the State and Homeland Security departments.

Gingrich: Hillary Tough to Beat in 2008

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is warning Republicans that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton will be a "very formidable" presidential candidate in 2008 who "might even win."

"I think any Republican who thinks she's going to be easy to beat has a total amnesia about the history of the Clintons," Gingrich told the American Society of Newspaper Editors, in quotes picked up by the New York Times.

He also warned that "the smartest American politician" - her husband - will be her chief political adviser.

Because the team of Clinton and Clinton are "that good tactically," Gingrich said, Republicans will have to work overtime to overcome their advantage.

"If we don't prove that we have better solutions, that we're in touch with reality and that we're prepared to do things on the scale that the future requires, we will not be guaranteed of beating Hillary in a tactical race."

Clinton could even pick up some Southern states if she moderates her abortion stance, Gingrich said, explaining, "There's a zone where you can be pro-choice, with modification, that could carry the South.

"You probably have to be at least against partial-term abortion," he said.
