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!

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."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


COALITION DISCOVERS MUNITIONS CACHES

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Three caches of munitions were discovered in southern and eastern Afghanistan August 2.

The first was discovered near Bamian and consisted of 60 rocket-propelled grenades, 17 anti-tank missiles and 600 rounds of anti-aircraft gun ammunition.

Another cache was near Kabul and consisted of 20 hand grenades, one anti-personnel mine, one mortar round and materials to make improvised explosive devices. The contents of this cache were considered too volatile to move and were destroyed by explosive ordnance disposal personnel at the scene.

The third cache was discovered near Kandahar and consisted of an unusual amount of fertilizer and plastic explosives. It was transported to Kandahar Airfield by EOD personnel.

“These munitions are dangerous,” said U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Jack Sterling, Combined Joint Task Force-76 deputy commanding general. “Not only are they unstable, but they can be used in the construction of improvised explosive devices that kill and wound innocent Afghans. We consider the recovery and removal of these munitions to be a key step in making Afghanistan a safer place.”

"Gangs May Prevent Central American Free Trade Agreement Success"

Upon signing the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) on Tuesday, President Bush promised that the pact would "advance peace and prosperity" throughout Central America. A noble goal for sure--but one that will never be achieved as long as violent criminal gangs continue to wreak havoc across the region. One of these gangs in particular has left a trail of dead bodies in its wake over the past two decades. Its name is Mara Savatrucha--better known as MS-13. In the opinion of many law enforcement officials, MS-13--which was formed in El Salvador in the 1980's--has now replaced the severely depleted Italian mafia as the number one criminal enterprise in the United States."

I found this link off of TM's main intro page under "Tracking the Chatter". The one line that sticks out is the one that says "Events will begin in the East" (Is that what we're seeing now?)

It is interesting how this is "deja vu all over again".

Last year at this time, Europe had been given a 30-day deadline (it might have been 8/15 then as well), UBL was out with a tape (I think), or there was chatter about his martyrdom and a coming tape (later disproved by his pre-election Oct/Nov 2004 tape), that "Azzam" kid from CA was doing his own tape, "two bows" (8/8) chatter, and there was speculation about the sequencing of events (Europe vs America; UBL pre-attack tape vs UBL post-attack tape; previously unseen pics posted from Feb 98 "Worldwide Front" founding (and time of non-public fatwa), etc, etc)

We are approaching a series of high-risk events that, though separate, are indirectly related in Jihadi perceptions and all coming in the next two weeks (Iraq constitutional deadline, Israeli Gaza withdrawal, and European deadline all being 8/15).

My guess is an escalating and coordinated wave of attacks in the next couple weeks (already started in UK) targeting Israel ("Zionist occupiers"), Iraq ("Crusader occupiers") and Europe (coalition partners UK, Italy, Denmark, Netherlands, and Poland are high risk) with a major attempt here either nearly simultaneously (Israel+Iraq+Europe+America=4) or a sequence of attacks over several weeks.

A "last, final (really, we mean it this time) warning" from UBL in an imminent tape to be released (if they get someone to air it) is also a possibility. The bigger an attack the more "justification" it needs. AQ for a decade has been just one big PR operation. Attacks are the means to the end, not the end. There are degrees of evil in everything - - even Jihad. For their purposes, unprovoked, unprecedented, large-scale WMD against civilians without accompanying "justification" or "forewarning" is beyond the pale - - not for their own moral sensibilities, but for their larger objective as it might "turn off" the regional audience of moderates they are desperately seeking to "convert" to Jihad (even the AQ leaders were arguing about calibrating 9/11 to not have "overkill"). So they need either to incite provocation for pretext (making Iraq and Gaza a "genocide"), or carefully choreograph the justification (through a series of messages, fatwas and possible timings), or both.

But these are all just guesses. Timing (when) is not a central issue as it can be adjusted most easily. Manpower (who), method (what and how), location (where) and justification (why) cannot. However, because timing is tied to the other factors (who, what, where, why, and how) to some degree and for various reasons, certain timeframes (as opposed to specific dates) are more relevant than others.

This is possibly one of the most relevant time frames since 9/11.

But as are most things in life (as few things in life are certain), this is just a guess.

The one that's even more interesting is "Events will begin in London" (12/22/03)

[explodingpez]

Good observation, I skipped over that one in haste. HMM.
