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.

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.

RE: The truck smashing through the gates.

Hmm. Dry run perhaps? I do remember reading about explosive filled trucks parking under idle airplanes with full of people. I don't remember the source, but can anybody back me up on this?

[appalachian_dweller]

I hear you Donna. I hate green day as well. Can't stand to hear them. My way of dealing with the anger: consider the source. These guys are scum of the first order. They are not worth your time or energy.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

I agree, AD. I mean Green Day can sing what they wish, but my real beef is with VH-1. They did not need to cover that performance at all; they had a few different choices.

[Lucy Lake]

Off topic for a warm, fuzzy feeling. Even terrorist should enjoy this.

This avenger is reporting for duty.

I heard a minute ago that the little girl that has been missing for months in Idaho, was found.

I think her parents were murdered, and a boy and girl disappeared. They were in the 9 year old age group.

A sharp waitress, spotted the girl and called for the cops.

The waitress, said the child huddled against her and said
"I just want to go home".

Her brother is still missing.

Arrested was a known sex offender, 2 convictions prior.

Warrants were out for him on other charges.

This was in Idaho.

Pray for the brother, please.

OPINION...

I don't know pez, but I doubt that.
It appeared to be a typical high speed
car chase to me.

[SlowBoat407]

So everyone is trashing the very nation that they think holds the key to world hunger? Has anyone even mentioned the name Mugabe?

[Introduction]

Hamas first added pesticides and
poisonous chemicals to indigenously
produced bombs in 1997.

Various other Palestinian terrorist
elements have also attempted to
contaminate Israeli water sources and
agricultural exports with chemical and
biological agents.

In 1999, Israeli security forces
apprehended a Hamas terrorist ring
active in the recruitment of Palestinian
biology and chemistry students as part of
an attempt to form a non-conventional
weapons effort against Israel.

In July 2004, Shin Bet Chief Avi Dichter
noted that non-conventional weapons
may have been smuggled into the PA. In
December 2004, the Israeli defense
establishment expressed concern over the
possibility of a chemical or biological
attack by Palestinian terrorist groups. 1



[Use of Chemical & Biological Agents
in Suicide Bombings]

In December 2001, the Israeli Health
Ministry revealed that nails and bolts
found in a bomb detonated by a
Palestinian suicide bomber had been
dipped in rat poison. According to Hamas,
planting poisonous chemicals in explosive
devices have terrorized Israelis more
effectively than conventional bombings. In
January 2002, a senior Israeli security
source warned that Hamas may be
attempting to obtain sarin and other
nerve gases. 2


[Planned Chemical Warhead for
Qassam Missile]

In February 2002, Middle East Newsline
reported that Palestinian terrorist
elements were developing a chemical
warhead for the Qassam-class missile. 3


[Bromine Found in Ramallah Mukatah
Compound]

During Operation Defensive Shield (April
2002), the IDF seized 10 tubes of bromine
in the Ramallah Mukatah compound.
Bromine, a brownish-red liquid, is a
corrosive element that dissolves human
tissue - even at a concentration of one
per million. 4

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


TROOPS FIND WEAPONS CACHE NEAR AR RAMADI

CAMP BLUE DIAMOND, AR RAMADI, Iraq – Iraqi Security Forces from the 1st Battalion, 1st Brigade, 1st Division and Coalition forces from the 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, uncovered seven weapons caches, a car-bomb factory and a roadside bomb making factory late afternoon on June 30 in the Industrial area, northeast of the Saddam Mosque during a patrol to disrupt terrorist activity last night.

This was the first patrol the Iraqi Soldiers conducted with Coalition forces in the area. The Iraqi Soldiers were tipped off to the locations of the caches and factories by local residents. The combat-tested Iraqi battalion, approximately 600 Soldiers, arrived from Baghdad June 28. Their arrival brings the total number of Iraqi Security Forces in the Ramadi area to approximately 2,500 Soldiers. Additional Iraqi battalions are scheduled to arrive throughout the summer.

The Iraqi Soldiers discovered the car-bomb factory with a vehicle rigged with explosives at an automotive repair shop in Ramadi. A bomb-making factory was located at a second location with 45 fully prepared roadside bombs inside.

Items uncovered at the weapons caches by IA Soldiers and Coalition forces include: a large quantity of bomb-making materials, hundreds of artillery and mortar rounds, dozens of rockets, 55 rifles and machine guns with ammunition, 26 rocket-propelled grenade launchers, 65 grenades, masks and explosives of various types.

Two foreign males found at a cache site are being questioned in connection to bomb making.

Iraqi Soldiers and Coalition forces continue to work together to rid Iraq of terrorists and foreign fighters and to make Iraq safer for all Iraqis.

Alleged Zarqawi Video Slams Bush
AP ^ | July 2, 2005

Posted on 07/02/2005 12:56:46 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

Militant Muslim Web sites have posted a video showing homicide attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces. The film's narrator apparently is terror suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

The narrator calls American soldiers cowards and easy targets. The voice sounds similar to al-Zarqawi's previous audiotapes. He heads the group calling itself Al Qaeda in Iraq, and has pledged allegiance to Usama bin Laden.

The 46-minute video opens with old footage of bin Laden. The narrator says the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq was unjust and refers to President Bush as an "idiot" for announcing an end to major combat in May 2003. The voice says the war "has just started" and declares that the U-S aim is to "humiliate Muslims and to obliterate the rituals of this religion."

Russia, China vow to build a multi-polar world order
India Defence and The Hindu ^

Posted on 07/02/2005 3:16:18 AM PDT by Srirangan

"Problems facing mankind can be solved only under a just and rational order"

MOSCOW: Russia and China have unveiled a joint agenda for building a multi-polar world in the 21st century that is singularly anti-U.S. in spirit, if not in letter.

"All countries of the world must strictly abide by the principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in internal affairs of each other, equality and mutual benefit (and) peaceful coexistence," the two countries said in a Declaration on the World Order in the 21st Century signed on Friday in the Kremlin by the Presidents of Russia and China, Vladimir Putin and Hu Jintao.

The Chinese leader arrived in Moscow on Thursday for a four-day official visit...

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TIJUANA, Mexico - The men flocked to the cafe under the sign with the cedar tree, symbol of their Mideast home. Here, in this alien border land, it was the beacon that led to an Arab "brother" who would help them complete their journey from Lebanon into America.

They would come, sometimes dozens a month over a three-year period, to find Salim Boughader Mucharrafille — the cafe owner who drove a Mercedes and catered to some of Tijuana's more affluent denizens, including workers at the U.S. consulate only a short stroll away. His American customers were unaware that the savvy boss of La Libanesa cafe ran a less reputable business on the side.

Until his arrest in December 2002, Boughader smuggled about 200 Lebanese compatriots into the United States, including sympathizers of Hezbollah, designated a terrorist organization by U.S. authorities. One client, Boughader said, worked for a Hezbollah-owned television network, which glorifies suicide bombers and is itself on an American terror watch list.

"If they had the cedar on their passport, you were going to help them. That's what my father taught me," Boughader told The Associated Press from a Mexico City prison, where he faces charges following a human-smuggling conviction in the United States.

"What I did was help a lot of young people who wanted to work for a better future. What's the crime in bringing your brother so that he can get out of a war zone?"

A report released by the Sept. 11 commission staff last year examining how terrorists travel the world cited Boughader as the only "human smuggler with suspected links to terrorists" convicted to date in the United States.

But he is not unique."
