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
Terrorists could be just getting started
Full Story

New York City and Washington. Bali, Indonesia; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Istanbul, Turkey; Madrid, Spain. And now London.

When will it end? Where will it all lead?

The experts aren't encouraged. One terrorism researcher sees the prospect of "endless" war. Adds the man who tracked Osama bin Laden for the CIA, "I don't think it's even started yet."

CASH AND CABBY (Nigerian national nab; cabbie had
$94,700 stashed in trunk)
NY POST ^ | July 30, 2005 | ERIKA MARTINEZ and JENNIFER FERMINO

Posted on 07/30/2005 5:37:29 AM PDT by Liz


GOTCHA FARE AND SQUARE: Raymond Okafor (left) is taken into
custody.....for driving with a suspended license, then found $94,770 in
the trunk of his car. Photo: Robert Kalfus

Taxi and Limousine Commission cops who busted a livery cabdriver for
cruising Manhattan with a suspended license yesterday got a surprise
when they popped his trunk — over $90,000 in cash, authorities said.

Raymond Okafor, 46, might have obtained the cash in a pyramid
scheme, a TLC source told The Post.

Okafor had unwittingly picked up an undercover TLC cop....part of a
routine sting to bust livery drivers, who are not supposed to pick up
people from the street.

At that point, the cabby told the cop he had a large amount of cash in
a suitcase in the trunk......The bag was searched and found to contain
$94,770, the source said.

They are trying to figure out if the money was obtained illegally,
possibly in fraudulent investment scams, where people recruit others
to fork over cash.

Security Chief Reveals Staggering Terror Figures
(Israel)
Jerusalem Newswire ^ | Friday, July 29, 2005 | Jerusalem Newswire Editorial Staff

Posted on 07/29/2005 11:10:22 AM PDT by agrace

Israel has been attacked by Palestinian Arab terrorists 25,375 times
since October 2000, General Security Service Director Yuval Diskin
told his Knesset overseers Tuesday.

That figure includes 142 “suicide” bomb attacks, Diskin said in a
briefing to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.

The results of that terrorist onslaught are 1,048 persons murdered
and over 5,600 injured and maimed, as well as incalculable mental
trauma.

Diskin said some 18,000 Palestinian Authority residents and another
225 Arab citizens of Israel have participated in perpetrating these
attacks.

The committee also heard a detailed analysis by former Defense
Ministry official Uzi Rubin on the massive Muslim missile threat facing
the Jewish state.

Rubin said over 1,000 Iranian, Syrian, Egyptian and Saudi long-range
missiles capable of delivering a combined 500 tons of military-grade
warheads were currently pointed at and capable of reaching all points
of Israel.

“If Israel does not present a credible response, the missile threat will
endanger the security of its citizens, limit its military and political
freedom of action, constitute a serious obstacle to any political
agreement and endanger the stability of any agreement that is
reached,” Rubin told the committee.<<

Sen. Torricelli Played Key Role in Closing Down CIA
Ops
NewsMax ^ | BACKSTORY 9/17/01 | Wes Vernon

Posted on 07/30/2005 11:36:27 AM PDT by Liz

WASHINGTON - Sen. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., led congressional
efforts in the mid-1990s that handcuffed the CIA's abilities to recruit
spies - a key policy that helped allow the attacks of Sept. 11 to take
place with no intelligence warnings. Current and former CIA
operatives say that Clinton administration policies, which forbade the
CIA from recruiting known terrorists and other criminals, left the U.S.
government bereft of all intelligence about such terrorist groups.

In 1995, then-Rep. Robert Torricelli, D-N.J., made secrets public at
the behest of left-wing activist Bianca Jagger, his girlfriend at the
time, according to Newark Star-Ledger columnist Paul Mulshine in the
January/February issue of Heterodoxy.

The secrets suggested that the CIA had on its payroll one or more
unsavory characters who had been involved in murder.

Torricelli gave away secrets he obtained through his membership on
the House Intelligence Committee. <<< (snipped)

"Ahenakew to appeal 'hatred' conviction"
Canadian Press
July 30, 2005

SASKATOON --

Ahenakew's lawyer, Doug Christie, confirmed Friday he's launched an appeal based on his argument that the comments for which Ahenakew was convicted were made in a private conversation.

Ahenakew referred to Jews as a disease and justified the Holocaust in an interview with a newspaper reporter in 2000 following a speech he made at a Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations conference."

"Ahenakew plays the victim, lashes out at Jewish groups"
By PAUL LUNGEN
Staff Reporter


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Ahenakew was convicted of promoting hatred against Jews as a result of statements he made to a reporter following a public address at a conference of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations in December 2002. He told the assembly that Jews had started World War II and he later told the reporter that Jews “damn near owned all of Germany” before the war. “That’s why [Hitler] fried six million of those guys. How do you get rid of a disease like that, that’s going to take over everything?”

In pronouncing sentence, Irwin said Ahenakew’s comments “dehumanize the Jewish people. To suggest that any human being or group of human beings is a disease is to invite extremists to take action against them.”

Striking a defiant tone at his news conference on Friday, Ahenakew said he would appeal the verdict."

Human H5N1 Bird Flu Bioweapons Research in China?

Recombinomics Commentary
July 15, 2005

Since 2004, the government has classified most infected or death cases caused by the virus, supplemented with the information gathered in qinghai. For non-fatal infectious diseases, the chinese government targeted at controlling information and quarantine measures. For infectious diseases which are fatal to human, the focus of the government is whether the virus can be converted to a biological weapon or not. The military will first research on the controllability of the virus. In some occasions, the virus may even be released to the public in order to test the effectiveness of the vaccines and preventive measures.

Musharraf hints bin Laden, al-Zawahari in Pakistani mountains


Saturday, July 30, 2005 at 19:10 JST
ISLAMABAD — President Pervez Musharraf strongly hinted Friday that al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden and his Egyptian-born top deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri are hiding in "mountains in Pakistan."

Musharraf told a packed press conference that the U.S. interrogation of senior al-Qaida member Abu Farraj al-Libbi had revealed that the terrorist network's command and communication center has been destroyed by Pakistan's military campaign in South Waziristan. (Kyodo News)

US gives North Korea evidence that nuclear secrets came from AQ Khan

Daily Times Monitor

WASHINGTON: The United States has for the first time presented North Korea with specific evidence behind its allegations that North Korea secretly obtained uranium enrichment technology from Abdul Qadeer Khan, the New York Times (NYT) quoted two senior administration officials as saying.

According to NYT, the two officials said that the decision to share the intelligence with North Korean negotiators was part of an effort to convince North Korea that any discussions about disarmament must cover not only the nuclear weapons programme it boasts about, but a second one that it now denies. Putting on the table the evidence that North Korea obtained technology from the network built by Abdul Qadeer Khan is significant because it is an effort to break an impasse over the scope of North Korea’s nuclear program, the paper said.

“American officials were reluctant to describe the North Korean response, but one official said that when presented with the evidence – chiefly the testimony of Khan – they argued with the US negotiators about it,” said the paper

“American officials have never made public the details of Khan’s statements to Pakistani officials, who have declined to make him available for direct interrogation. But they have shared the information widely with Asian allies, and elements of it have leaked out, including Khan’s assertion – doubted by several specialists in the American intelligence community – that the North Koreans once showed him what they said were three fully assembled nuclear weapons.

“The two Bush administration officials declined to speak on the record, citing the delicacy of both the intelligence and the current negotiations. They would not describe how much detail had been given to the North Koreans. The presentation came in the first two days of talks in Beijing, which American officials said may stretch into next week,” said NYT.
