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.

Thanks for this link. I set up a box here at work for our troops. My wiseass coworker "liberal" said we should send them a tape of F 9/11. He believes the troops are all miserable and have no pride in what they are doing. Typical he only knows what CNN tells him. He also know he pisses me off!

Stop the Train: Fire Departments Not Ready for Nuclear Shipments

Also I just heard on FNC that the government is not ready for a nuclear attack whatsoever!

I agree that our government is in no way prepared for a nuclear attack. Even a hit on one city would be overwhelming. Imagine the chaos and panic were NYC to be struck- even by a relatively small nuke.

Survivors would attempt to flee- and during rush hour regular workers can barely make it out of town, anyway. All public trans would be destroyed.

There would be very limited medical care, if one could get there. There would be no electric power. The radioactive cloud would spread death and destruction first to city residents and then, depending on the weather patterns, to those in the "suburbs." Water would be toxic. There would be massive fires - conflagrations- and secondary explosions.

I really think the gov. plan would be to ultimately cordon off the area- particularly if bios were included with the nuke attack.

Sorry to be so pessimistic- that's just how I see it.

Just Piper-

Maybe the above is one of the reasons for the leak on the US pre-emptively striking Iran/ NK- if we have even an inkling they are ready to launch- we go first.

Well, I'm going to have to pray for your co-worker. PLEASE tell him that willful ignorance is not bliss. I could go on, but I'll stop at this point.

JAPANESE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER APPARENTLY HOSTS AUSTRALIAN HOSTAGE VIDEO AND OTHERS

Wood as Seen on the Video

A videotape delivered by militants to news agencies, some of which is also available online at a Japanese Internet service provider of sorts, shows an Australian citizen who has been taken hostage in Iraq.

According to the Brisbane Courier-Mail (www.thecouriermail.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,15159982%255E953,00.html) – BCM – the man on the tape identifies himself as Douglas Wood.

This is the complete text of his statement.

"My name is Douglas Wood. I'm a 63-year-old. I'm an Australian, a US resident. My wife is an American. We have a house in Alamo, California.

"I came to Iraq almost a year ago, working with John Watkinson and we had many jobs with the American military.

"My captives (sic) are fiercely patriotic. They believe in a strong, united Iraq looking after its own destiny.

"President Bush, Prime Minister Howard, Governor Schwarzenegger, family, friends, please help take the American troops, the Australian troops, the British troops out of here and let Iraq look after itself.

"They are strong, they will be [able to] look after themselves against their neighbors.

"Please help me. I don't want to die."

Wood's wife, Pearl, told the Associated Press (http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/World/Iraq/2005/05/01/1021261-ap.html ) that the man on the tape was definitely her husband. She said he had worked in Iraq as an engineer for about a year and a half.

JAPANESE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER APPARENTLY HOSTS AUSTRALIAN HOSTAGE VIDEO AND OTHERS

The apparent extract from Wood's speech available on the Japanese Internet site (www.isonly.net/~blue_cats/cgi-bin/upload/source/up0558.zip) started when Wood addressed President Bush.

There were a number of other videos also available on this site.

One, lasting almost four minutes, started with emergency vehicles racing toward black plumes of smoke. Flames were shown, with people appearing to panic and then fire hoses were seen being used on devastated vehicles. The scene depicted was chaotic. The video shifted to more sirens and then the injured were shown in a hospital receiving medical attention.

Another video, lasting just over five minutes, began with fire fighters spraying a burned building. Fatigue- wearing individuals were then shown. The video then cut to a shot of presumably a hooded insurgent wearing a bullet proof vest. Although he was speaking, there is no audio on the video at this point.

Following this, devastated vehicles were seen over audio of Islamic chanting. Viewers could next see what was presumably bloody ground, and a sandal sitting forlornly in the accompanying debris. More sirens were heard, and then viewers could see a blood- covered seat and a man receiving medical attention.

Another video on the site showed possible insurgents undergoing training in what could be Kashmir.

Most of the videos accessed began with an e-mail address, zubeiddah1417@hotmail.com (information at www.infovlad.net/?p=142) and were attributed to IMC Media (Islamic Media Center).

A request for comment to that e-mail address was answered with an automatically generated comment which read, "This message is larger than the current system limit or the recipient's mailbox is full."

Also available at the same site was a 50-page document in Arabic.

The Japanese Internet provider apparently hosting the site was www.isonly.net. An e-mailed request for comment to this organization was not immediately answered.

The site administrator listed is Junichi Kagawa. An e-mail to him requesting comment was not immediately responded to either.

WOOD'S ABDUCTION

Australia's Seven News reported (http://seven.com.au/news/nationalnews/78854 ) that Wood was possibly abducted from his apartment between 24 and 48 hours before the release of the video of him pleading for his life.

"But at this stage the information is very sketchy," Seven News reported Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said.

Downer confirmed Wood's apartment was in Baghdad, but according to Seven News he would not confirm whether Wood had visited Fallujah to inspect a building project he was working on.

A task force of Australian negotiators is now in Iraq attempting to secure Wood's release.

Seven News reported that Downer said additional information is needed about the group behind Wood's abduction.

An extremist Muslim group calling itself the Shura Council of Mujahidin claimed responsibility for the abduction.

The BCM reported that the Shura Council of Mujahidin has been linked to a string of abductions of foreigners in Iraq in the past two years. Last year, group members abducted Turk Aytulla Gezmen but released him after he vowed to convert to Islam. Additional information is available on this group at www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,15157222-2,00.html.

Seven News reported that when asked if he believed Wood would survive his ordeal, Downer responded, "I'm determined. We'll obviously do everything we possibly can to save him and get him out alive ... We're making a very big effort to do that, and so are our friends and allies and so are the Iraqis and the information flow is really starting now."

Yep.
I think I saw this url off of one of (possibly 007's) sites earlier this week.
If not, it was a GIMF site. Different url I believe, but same appearance.
