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.

Well that's very interesting penguino, thanks.

[Oorang]

They are showing their true, childish, nature. What a bunch of punks and thugs.

[Oorang]

Thanks for posting that article Cindy. Now, if they would only take into serious condideration what the majority of American citizens think about the open border situation we might make some progress.

[Oorang]

Thanks for all the links Velveeta.

"How does this sole survivor guy sleep at night?"

Hopefully every sleeping/waking moment of his monsterous existence is one neverending nightmare.

The reason I knew to look for this trial, is because I caught a quick story on Beslan on BBC yesterday morning. The authorities are looking into claims that there were Russian police who were paid-off by the terrorists to help them cross the border. Hopefully, if this monster on trial can out any of the "supposedly" crooked Russian cops, there could be something positive from this atrocity. My gut feeling is that there are areas in Russia that are generations deep in corruption.

ZARQAWI TAPE

Zarqawi justifies Muslim deaths

Dubai - Anti-US attacks in Iraq which also kill Muslim civilians, do not violate Islamic law, al-Qaeda's feared frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said in a purported tape posted on the internet on Wednesday.

The recording emerged as the US military said that leaders close to Zarqawi had ordered a recent car bombing campaign that has killed hundreds in Iraq.

"Our fighters only take the initiative of carrying out such operations in line with the principles of the sharia," said the voice attributed to the fugitive leader who has a $25m price on his head.

"It is legitimate to shoot all infidels with all the kinds of arms that we have," said the voice, similar to those in earlier recordings attributed to Zarqawi.

"Killing Muslims who are serving as human shields (for the Americans) is allowed by the sharia," he said, backing his arguments with statements from several Muslim clergymen.

In the audiotape, Zarqawi mentioned the death of Pope John Paul II - which indicated that the message was recorded after April 2. (snip)

N.C. airport workers arrested on alleged immigration violations
5/18/2005 11:26 AM
By: Associated Press

Nine workers who service U.S. Navy planes at a Winston-Salem airport were arrested Tuesday on alleged immigration violations.

Reports say agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office made the arrests at Aerospace Manufacturing, Incorporated. They believe those arrested are working illegally in the United States.

The "Operation Shield America" raid at Smith-Reynolds Airport is aimed at finding illegal aliens doing work for the Pentagon.

Reports also said that those arrested were working on P-3 Orions - surveillance planes known as "submarine killers."

The suspects are in the Forsyth County Jail, and may be deported to their home countries in the United Kingdom later this week.(snip)

"Gates would cut access to Loop in terror attack (Chicago) "

I saw the gate at the Addison Ave entrance going up last week. Had no clue that this is what is was being tested for. I've seen gates out in "blizzard" areas to close sections of highways. I also think these would help in situations when the President is in town. They expend a lot of man hours posting cruisers at these entrance ramps to restrict access when a motorcade is en route from/to O'Hare. Or like they said in the article, to prevent additional traffic access in case of a major accident on the highway.

I kinda like the idea.

...over the last 2 days I have found out that two units, one in each town on each side of me have been put on alert... one is an infantry unit... and the other a transportation unit.

yes I know that this doesn't mean they will go... but the possiblity is very high... :bm

this would involve 6 soldiers from our area.... with 2 sets of brothers being called up... and 3 cousins... the 3 cousins are within 6 weeks of being out permanmently...they would have their 6 years of guard duty in... but that is how it works... and all 3 were not re upping..

I'm about sick for their parents.... and the one soldier (one of the 3 - 1st cousins) is to be in Joachim's wedding this fall... best friends through school, signed up for the guards together, graduated together, went to boot camp together and in the same platoon.... tho in different unit... Joachim in heavy equipment and Mike in a transportation unit.

He now faces potential deportation for trying to enter the country illegally, the source said.

While countless ME types enter through our porous northern and southern geographic borders. Either we are serious about people here illegally, or we're not. For 10,000-30,000 annually, it appears we are not. We must enforce our existing laws to the letter, or they are meaningless.

[ExSoldier]

Recent information from ongoing investigations, detentions, and emerging threat streams strongly suggests that al-Qaeda has considered using the Southwest Border to infiltrate the United States. Several al-Qaeda leaders believe operatives can pave their way into the country through Mexico and also believe illegal entry is more advantageous than legal entry for operational security reasons. Admiral Loy warned that the U.S.Canadian Border has vast and difficult terrain that could provide good passageways for terrorists to sneak into our country and wreak havoc."

IMHO, it would be a far simpler thing to secure the Mexican border if we really cared to do so. The first line of defense should be those who know the area best: American Landowners. These are the folks who've been the victims of border incursions for decades, with little or no help from our government. The thing to do is to militarize the border with the national guard for each state. THEN train the landowners along the border to use military radios. When they see intruders, simply whistle up a gunship mission and send in the Apaches or a Blackhawk full of troops. That's what we used to call wise use of indigenous forces

[MamaDearest]

I'm sorry to say my issuing DDA turned down this case for prosecution. (the man never made a direct enough threat to rise to a clear conviction of PC422 (criminal threat) and she didn't have any injuries from being hit by the Bible so even the minor PC242 would have a tough time being prosecuted)

This woman will undoubtedly be traumatized for some time to come, and who knows if others have experienced the same fearful situation. Would the statement "she's on her own" (no matter what happens later) pretty much fit here? More reason than ever for each of us to make sure we have "protection" readily available, even if it's only pepper spray. This woman had no idea what the man's intentions were when he shoved the Bible into the doorjamb. Each of us should be ready for any such incident and what could happen with a more forceful or violent attacker.

By the way, keychain sprays and mini-canister air horns (boat quality) can be purchased for less than $10.00. I know, because I bought one this week!

[MamaDearest]

The thing to do is to militarize the border with the national guard for each state. THEN train the landowners along the border to use military radios.

Excellent idea. Both North and South border states in many places have extremely sparse populations, which enables smugglers and illegals free access to our country. Remember a few threads back the pictures of tents? It's never left my memory for exactly that reason. People sneaking in, eating wild game and living in wooded seclusion - how difficult would that scenario be?

Montana boasts over 30 million acres of state and federal lands, nearly one third of the state. Much of that land provides excellent hunting opportunities

Texas acres of land owned by the federal government in 2000 (2,307,171)

State by State Government land ownership

Basically, lots of land to camp on......and a shortage of people to check on and maintain it (and that's where your plan would come in handy ExSoldier!). I don't understand why our government thus far does not embrace the well-qualified people willing to do work our government cannot or is unable or unprepared to do.

Well, because "Andrew" used the word "PRIVATE" far too many times.
