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.

Pakistan holds alleged British citizen, another foreigner for al-Qaida links

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) - Authorities have arrested two al-Qaida suspects, including an alleged British citizen, in separate raids this week in northwestern Pakistan, intelligence officials said.

It wasn't clear if either of the arrests were linked to the May 2 capture in northwestern Pakistan of Abu Faraj al-Libbi, reputedly al-Qaida's No. 3 leader.

The first man, identified only as Shahzad, was arrested late Sunday in a raid by intelligence agents and police on a house in Shabqadar town, 25 kilometres north of the city of Peshawar. Officers also seized three computers, CDs and some documents, local police official Saleh Mohammed said on Wednesday.

An intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Shahzad was a "suspected al-Qaida facilitator" who said he had dual Pakistani and British citizenship. He said officials were investigating the man's claims.

The British High Commission could not confirm the arrest, and said it was looking into the report.

Mohammed said Shahzad had remnants of shackles around his ankles and wounds on his knees, but the police official refused to speculate on whether the suspect may have escaped from custody somewhere.

The second arrest was made Monday when intelligence agents stopped a vehicle on Peshawar's outskirts, said another intelligence official, who also declined to be named. He didn't reveal the identity or nationality of the suspect, but said he was a foreigner suspected of al-Qaida links.

Al-Qaeda man appeals over murder of detective
RUSSELL JACKSON

AN al-Qaeda terrorist appeared in court yesterday to appeal against his conviction for murdering a Special Branch detective.

Kamel Bourgass, a 31-year-old Algerian, went berserk and stabbed Stephen Oake to death when he was cornered in a Manchester flat in 2003.

He was jailed for life for the 40-year-old’s murder at the Old Bailey last year.

Bourgass was flanked by seven officers as he sat in the dock at Woolwich Crown Court, south London, where the Court of Appeal was sitting. His appeal centres on whether the jury at his murder trial should have been told of his involvement in a ricin terror plot.

Yesterday, Bourgass’s counsel, Michel Massih, QC, told the court his involvement in a ricin plot should not have been given as evidence.

Mr Oake’s widow, Lesley, sat just feet away from her husband’s killer in court. The Appeal Court judges, Lord Justice Judge, Mr Justice Curtis and Mr Justice Newman, reserved their judgment.

Detectives believe Bourgass had been planning to smear ricin on the door-handles of cars and buildings in London.

"Mr Oake’s widow, Lesley, sat just feet away from her husband’s killer in court."

Very sad and a very hard thing to do.

"'PEOPLES WAR'
AND A DANGEROUS FOREIGN POLICY"

MAY 19, 2005
By Toby Westerman
Copyright 2005 International News Analysis Today
www.inatoday.com

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A "peoples war" against U.S. troops in Iraq is being encouraged by the politicians and generals of Vietnam, a nation which still has a close "ideological relationship" with its giant neighbor to the north, Communist China, according to one U.S. immigrant activist.

Articles appear daily in Vietnam advocating the strategy of a "peoples war" in Iraq and denouncing U.S. "imperialism," declared Vietnamese-American writer and activist Duc Tran in an exclusive interview with International News Analysis Today.

The articles condemning the U.S. and supporting the Islamic militants appear in both Vietnamese and English language newspapers, according to Tran.

The concept of "peoples war," was successfully used against the French and Americans in Southeast Asia. In a "peoples war," small bands of fighters intentionally provoke an overwhelming military response, with the result that a small number of guerrillas may be lost, but the enemy is worn down emotionally and financially. Should women and children be killed during an enemy counter attack, the result for the communist guerrillas is even more positive, because images of dead civilians give the enemy a "bad press."

Leftist media outlets are essential to a successful "peoples war," and are used to emphasize the horror of the attack on the guerrillas - a situation which the U.S. encountered in Vietnam and is again experiencing in Iraq.

Born in 1972, Tran came to the U.S. in 1990 with his family. Tran's father was a member of the South Vietnamese Assembly, and was imprisoned in a labor camp for six years after the fall of the South Vietnam.

From the mid-1950s to the 1970s, the United States supported the anti-communist South Vietnamese government against communist-controlled North Vietnam. Although North Vietnamese military under the direction of General Giap never won a single major victory against U.S. forces, mass street demonstrations in the U.S. and American media hostile to U.S. intentions in Vietnam forced an American withdrawal in 1973. The Democratically controlled Congress cut off all military assistance to South Vietnam, and, in 1975, Saigon, the South Vietnamese capital, fell to North Vietnamese forces.

Tran continues to follow events in Vietnam, and warns that U.S. policy toward Vietnam is dangerously uninformed."
