Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Twenty-Eight

[freeperfromnj]

That's an eye-opening article. Talk about what we don't know. I never heard about the bomb that was found and defused at the baggage gate of an Alitalia Airlines plane. Officials believe a terrorist intended to place the bomb aboard the aircraft.

"Bomber Kills 2 in Israeli Mall Blast"
Tuesday, July 12, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "JERUSALEM — A bomber blew himself up among a group of teens near a shopping mall in the seaside city of Netanya on Tuesday, killing himself and two others in the second such attack since a truce was declared five months ago.

About 30 people were wounded, two seriously, police said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility from a Palestinian militant group. The previous bombing was carried out by Islamic Jihad (search), which said in a statement after Tuesday's attack that it remained committed to the cease-fire.

The blast went off shortly before 7 p.m. near the Sharon Mall in Netanya (search). Police said a preliminary investigation indicated the bomber blew himself up among a group of teenagers crossing a busy intersection."

ROME Jul 12, 2005 — Terrorism is "knocking on Italy's door" and parliament should adopt tougher measures, including allowing police to detain suspects longer without charge, the interior minister said Tuesday.

Interior Minister Giuseppe Pisanu unveiled the package to parliament amid increased fears of a terrorist attack in Italy after Thursday's bombings in London.

The measures would include giving police greater investigative powers.....

It added that the attacker, whose identity was not revealed, was from Atil town near the west bank city of Tulkarm.

Mine: the old was ----ony/dny OR the old was burned dry
Interpr: Something was done to the old ones (ie, Twin Towers). The text after "old" is irrelevant as it talks about what was done to the "old."

Yours: from north york republic to
Mine: from north york repablic to
I'm almost sure "republic" is mispelled here.

Please advise a phone number or link where I can report a suspicious person. I've called Homeland Security in Atlanta only to get deadends.

have called FBI Atlanta only to get a recording from one detective saying he was retiring and giving the name of another detective and the detective's extension only to find out that extension doesn't work.

[freeperfromnj]

You've got to be kidding me. Is the suspicious person still there?

[TAquinas]

Call your local police.

I do not trust Pak.

[peacebaby]

last week, but I trailed him and got a good look at him and don't want to forget his face.

Called 911, got the police, gave a report. Never saw the police approach this man. Had to go to work.

Next day tried calling Homeland Security. Fine setup we've got here in Atlanta.

[jerseygirl]

Well, the AQ's themselves said Muslims needed to leave NYC,DC and LA and "the east side".

So does this mean that DC is off the hook?

[Cindy]

Ditto.
