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!

Expert: Al-Qaida Has Presence In South Florida
Full Story

MIRAMAR, Fla. -- Despite the massive federal, state and local law enforcement effort to stop terrorists from entering the United States, there is no strong evidence of how well it is working.

Many experts are concerned that there are plenty of terrorists or sympathizers already in the country who have been here for years. Some are even citizens.

The Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers were the first wave and now the increasing number of arrests seems to signal a second wave of terrorism in South Florida.

Thanks Velveeta!
Some of them look familiar, but others I haven't seen before.
Will add them to the ever growing list! LOL

Happy Monday (UGH)

Did you read the full article on the helicopters?

I like that "left 2 bicycles as proof we burned them".

Is that the same as leaving an empty suitcase on the subway?

This is a report that has to be read, it was too long for me to transfer it, the history of West Nile Virus and the connection to Cuba and Iraq.

I added Cuba to your search, take a look at this collection
of quotes, it adds to Cuba, with Syria,Libya,Ghana ,Vietnam
and China.

Interesting collection with more google leads.

This is only a small part of the report, it also covers the fact that China pays for a Cuba site to monitor our important departments and explains a lot of the way the different systems work.


Weapons of Mass Destruction
Cyber Warfare and Telecommunications Espionage

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:QPKxLnRNUXsJ:www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/cuba/oagmc029.htm+Cuban+biotechnology+sector+is+involved+in+a%0D%0A++%22biowarfare%22+effort&hl=en&start=9&ie=UTF-8&client=googlet

Conclusions

The United States' dependence on computers makes it more
vulnerable than most countries to cyberattack. The president's
Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection has identified eight
critical areas in need of protection: information and
communications, electrical power systems, gas and oil industries,
banking and finance, transportation, water supply systems,
emergency services and government services.

Many traditional and non-traditional adversaries of the United
States-according to Louis J. Freeh, Director, FBI, today are
technological sophisticated and have modified their intelligence
methodologies to use advanced technologies to commit espionage.
In telecommunications, even some smaller (Cuba?) intelligence
adversaries now use equipment the FBI is unable to monitor.

The international terrorist threat can be divided- according again to
Louis J. Freeh- in three general categories. Each poses a serious
and distinct threat, and each has a presence in the United States.
The first and most important category, and the concern of this study,
is state-sponsored terrorism. It violates every convention of
international law. State sponsors of terrorism include Iran, Iraq,
Syria, Sudan, Cuba, and North Korea. Put simply, these nations view
terrorism as a tool of foreign policy.

Public and private sector organizations that rely on information
technologies are diverse. The result is a revolutionary and
systematic improvement in industrial, services, and commercial
processes. However, as commercial information technologies create
advantages, their increasingly indispensable nature transforms them
into high-value targets.

With very few exceptions, attacks against the nation's cyber assets
can be aggregated into one of four categories: crime, terrorism,
foreign intelligence, or war. Regardless of the category, any country
can acquire the capability to conduct limited attacks against
information systems.

Software is one weapon of information-based attacks. Such software
includes computer viruses, Trojan horses, worms, logic bombs and
eavesdropping sniffers. Advanced electronic hardware can also be
useful in information attacks. Examples of such hardware are
high-energy radio frequency(RF)weapons, electromagnetic pulse
weapons, RF jamming equipment, or RF interception equipment.

Such weapons can be used to destroy property and data; intercept
communications or modify traffic; reduce productivity; degrade the
integrity of data, communications, or navigation systems; and deny
crucial services to users of information and telecommunications
systems.

The Cuban government is well aware of this vulnerability. Hence,
major terrorists and intelligence services are quickly becoming
aware of exploiting the power of information tools and weapons. The
Cuban government is well aware of this vulnerability.

The increasing value of trade secrets in the global and domestic
marketplaces, and the corresponding spread of technology, have
combined to significantly increase both the opportunities and
methods for conducting electronic espionage.

The security of trade secrets is essential to maintaining the health
and competitiveness of critical segments of the U.S. economy. The
U.S. counterintelligence community has specifically identified the
suspicious collection and acquisition activities of foreign entities
from at least 23 countries, including Cuba.

Cuba has acquired the capacity to conduct cyberterrorism also
through simple technology transfer. There are multiple international
conferences on the subject. Anyone can attend these conferences.

There is a BEAMS conference that has gone on for 20 years, a
EUROEM conference that has gone on for over 20 years also. RF
weapons can be made today for a cost of $800 dollars. Therefore,
there is no need for a lot of power, or a lot of money to affect the
infrastructure. This technology application is quite under the
capabilities of Cuba's electronic development.

Electronic monitoring of communications signals will continue to be
the largest and most important form of secret intelligence. Cuba's
two main facilities-Lourdes and EWB- are quite capable of
monitoring telecommunications in the U.S., the Caribbean, and Latin
America.

Computers automatically analyze every call or data signal, and can
also identify calls to a target telephone number in U.S. no matter
from which country they originate. Both, Lourdes and EWB, are
highly computerized. They rely on near total interception of
international commercial and satellite communications in order to
locate the telephone or other messages of target individuals.

Cuba's intelligence activities against the United States have grown in
diversity and complexity in the past few years. Press reports of
recent espionage cases involving Russia, South Korea, China, and
Cuba are just the tip of a large and dangerous intelligence iceberg.

The director of the CIA stated before the Senate Select Committee
on Intelligence, 1998, that there are six countries presently
conducting electronic espionage that poses a threat to the United
States, they are: France, Israel, China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba.

Cuba represents a serious threat to the security of the United States
in the cyberwarfare phase of terrorism.

Fire at Florida Nuclear Power Plant Causes Minor Leak; No Damage to Reactors (6/27/05)

The Associated Press Published: Jun 27, 2005

MIAMI (AP) - Fire caused a small leak of coolant at a nuclear plant early Monday but left its two reactors undamaged.

The sprinkler system at the Turkey Point power plant extinguished the flames, which broke out several hours before dawn in an area that was not near any nuclear equipment.

The blaze caused a leak that spilled 30 to 40 gallons of mineral oil being used as a coolant in a transformer. <>p The plant's nuclear machinery, shielded by domes and concrete barriers, was never endangered, but officials took one of the reactors offline while the fire was investigated, said Bill Swank, a spokesman for Florida Power and Light.

Turkey Point is on Biscayne Bay, some 25 miles south of Miami.

"Discovery of knife sends plane back to Chicago"



CHICAGO --

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "American Airlines Flight 110 had been in the air for more than an hour Saturday afternoon when a passenger found the knife inside an airline-provided package containing a pillow and blanket, airline spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan said Sunday.

The passenger alerted the flight crew, which decided to return to O'Hare as a security precaution, Fagan said. The Boeing 767-300, which had 199 passengers, landed back at O'Hare about 2 1/2 hours after takeoff."
