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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat
Threat Matrix: U.S. Terrorism
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.

On July the 6th, I posted in message 3108 of this thread the article:

Military expands Homeland Efforts

It covers several things and should be read by all, included are the multiple attacks that we are to expect and the warning that our military will be used on the streets of America.

I have heard on the radio talk shows, several say that we will be hit in America, not later than 90 days, and it will be multiple strikes.

Keep in mind that this was posted before the London Attack on 7-7, so is before and not after their strike.

below is a small part of the article, which should be linked below......

The assumption of the need to prepare for multiple, simultaneous
terrorist attacks, McHale explained, marks a change from previous
planning
scenarios that had envisioned single strikes. The change is based on
what
McHale called a "recurring pattern" of attacks around the world by al
Qaeda and other terrorist groups.

Under the new strategy, U.S. air and naval forces will continue to
improve efforts to scan and patrol approaches to the United States.
Some of
the moves began immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks. But maritime

efforts have lagged airspace measures, and even U.S. air defenses
will
require further improvementsto deal with potential attacks by
low-flying
cruise missiles and pilotless aircraft, the document notes.

The strategy draws a distinction between the "lead"

Two months later, few answers about grenade at British Consulate

Two months later, few answers about grenade at British Consulate

NEW YORK (AP) It can't compare to the terrorist attack that rocked London.

But New York police have been hunting for suspects in an explosion that blew out a window near Manhattan's British consulate two months ago and so far are stumped.

The early morning blast on May 5th involved two makeshift grenades and caused no injuries. There has been speculation that its timing was meant to coincide with a British election that day that returned Prime Minister Tony Blair to power. It also sparked an enormous emergency response by New York officials.

But the incident was never mentioned when Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited the consulate on Friday to offer condolences about the London bombings.

The New York Police Department's top spokesman, Paul Browne, said police have no evidence that supports an election day motive. Nor are there any other solid clues about who detonated the devices replica grenades stuffed with gunpowder and fitted with fuses and who was the target.

Browne says police have no suspects or even witnesses.

The probe has been marked by a tantalizing false lead and a lingering interest in a lone cyclist who rode around the consulate building.

The face of terror

Madrid mastermind hunted

BY ADAM NICHOLS
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

LONDON - The man believed to have masterminded last year's Madrid train bombings is emerging as the prime suspect in the devastating terror attacks on London's transit system.

Investigators are hunting Mustafa Setmarian Nasar - also known as Abu Musab al-Suri - a Syrian suspected of being Al Qaeda's operations chief in Europe, according to unidentified investigators cited in British newspapers The Sunday Times, The Sunday Telegraph and the Mail on Sunday.....

It took me awhile to understand, the fact we allowed them to
fly over our soil, I like the fact we got in more than they
have.

Then it hit me, they can get all the same info from the
satellites on the Internet and you know they have used info
from the space station.

We have NO secrets.

About equal to us having all the info on what N. Korea is
hiding underground...LOL ... take a photo from space.

On a clear night, if you watch the sky, you will pick up the observation plane, it has a set area and goes in circles, and other patterns, but still is overhead.

Mastermind of Madrid is Key Figure (7/10/05)

THE terrorist believed to have organised last year’s Madrid train attacks is emerging as a figure in the hunt for the London bombers.

Spanish security sources are said to have warned four months ago that Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, a 47-year-old Syrian, had identified Britain as a likely target

Coded commands from the Syrian, thought to have included threats to other European countries including Britain, were found in a flat raided after the Madrid bombings in March 2004....

Downed US Seals may have got too close to Bin Laden (7/10/05)

Tony Allen-Mills, Washington and Andrew North, Kabul

THE first sign of trouble was a radio message requesting immediate extraction. A four-man team of US Navy Seal commandos had run into heavy enemy fire on a remote, thickly forested trail in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan.

Trouble turned to disaster when a US special forces helicopter carrying 16 men was shot down as it landed at the scene, killing all on board. Almost two weeks later, a mission that led to the worst US combat losses in Afghanistan since the invasion in 2001 has turned into an extraordinary manhunt. It has also opened an intriguing new front in the coalition’s battle against terrorism.

The story of Operation Red Wing, a US-led search for Taliban and Al-Qaeda guerrillas in the mountain wilderness of Kunar province, contains remarkable human drama and an unresolved military mystery.....

Al Qaeda answers CIA's hiring call [Al Qaeda may have attempted to infiltrate CIA]
Los Angeles Times ^ | July 10, 2005 | Michael Sulick


Posted on 07/10/2005 11:43:48 AM EDT by John Jorsett


As many as 40 possible terrorists may have attempted to infiltrate U.S. intelligence agencies in recent months, CIA expert Barry Royden reported at a national counterintelligence conference in March. If that news isn't sufficiently terrifying, consider this chilling paradox: Though the agencies caught the potential spies at the job application stage, post-Sept. 11 pressures to quickly boost staffing make it increasingly likely that a terrorist could sneak into the intelligence community's ranks.

Since Al Qaeda's attacks on New York and Washington four years ago, the Sept. 11 commission and other investigative bodies have criticized intelligence agencies for failing to hire enough qualified personnel. President Bush ordered the CIA to increase analytic and operational personnel by 50%.

In response, intelligence agencies have launched ambitious campaigns to attract new recruits, even enlisting advertising agencies and running glitzy commercials. But this scramble to hire leaves agencies vulnerable, as a woefully small number of security analysts attempt to vet the flood of applicants. Job seekers with the native language skills and overseas experience that much intelligence work requires are among the most difficult to screen for security.

This conundrum comes to light as intelligence agencies have finally recognized that Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups operate like traditional intelligence services. Terrorists spy before they terrorize. They case and observe their targets. They collect intelligence about their enemy's vulnerabilities from publicly available information and by eliciting secrets from unwitting sources. Like intelligence officers, terrorists also practice tradecraft — the art of blending seamlessly into a society's fabric for months or years before striking.
