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.

Was Bomber's "New York" Shirt A Message?
Full Story

It's hardly a unique fashion statement for a mass transit rider: a Yankees-style cap, and a "New York" sweat shirt.

But the New York Police Department is teaming with British authorities to determine whether those items were worn by suspects in the London terror cases to send a "purposeful message" to the city, according to an NYPD officials.

David Cohen, the NYPD's deputy commissioner of intelligence, raised the concern earlier this week at a security briefing for business leaders at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan.

The Chinese have tested their missles before, but they have extended the range to include distances that would target the entire US, not just the West Coast before.

And I dont believe Russia and China have had joint manuevers in a long time.

Posted on 07/23/2005 6:58:04 AM PDT by kellynla

EDITORIAL SNIPPET: "This year's Pentagon report on China's military power is somewhat tougher than in previous years. Released Tuesday, the report concludes that China could threaten not just its smaller neighbors, like Taiwan, but in time "modern militaries operating in the region," which is Pentagon-speak for the United States. "The pace and scope of China's military are, already, such as to put regional military balances at risk," the Pentagon concludes. This report is a needed wake-up call following by a week the threat, since disavowed, by a ranking Chinese general that China would hit "hundreds" of U.S. cities with nuclear weapons if the United States should intervene if Beijing attacks Taiwan.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Thank you for the proof that clinton did nothing to stop OBL and let us be attacked over and over.

A firing squad is about right for clinton and his cronies.

If you want reading material, try searches (granny's general search) for:

declassified memo
declassified russia memos
declassified Cuba memos, files and reports.

play with it, FBI, CIA, whoever you can think of, I have found some amazing reports that way, you will also want to check the groups on each search, there are a lot of the old groups there that are now dead or gone to porn, but a few years ago were active and posted the reports.

U.S. warns Americans to avoid Sinai after bomb attack on peacekeepers
ASSOCIATED PRESS by way of San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | 16AUG05 | ASSOCIATED PRESS

Posted on 08/17/2005 1:21:21 AM PDT by familyop

CAIRO, Egypt – The U.S. Embassy has warned Americans not to travel to the Sinai Peninsula following a roadside bombing that lightly wounded two Canadian women attached to a peacekeeping force.

Monday's blast, caused by a natural gas canister packed with explosives, targeted a vehicle belonging to the Multinational Force and Observers, an 1,800-member force helping monitor the 1979 Egypt-Israeli peace deal.

The embassy statement said the attack followed the reported discovery by Egyptian authorities of one ton of explosives in the north Sinai city of El Arish on Sunday and the reported shooting a day earlier at an intercity bus.

"In light of these incidents and previous terrorist attacks in Sinai targeting foreign tourists, Americans are urged to avoid travel to all of the Sinai," said the embassy.

"No American citizens were involved, but this attack represents a new incident of violence targeted against foreigners," the statement added.

The attack, which occurred on a highway about two miles from an MFO base near the Gaza border, came as Israel withdraws from Gaza and followed last month's bombings at a Sharm el-Sheik resort.

One of three groups that claimed responsibility for the Sharm blasts, which killed at least 64 people, issued a Web statement saying it was behind the latest bomb. The claim by the Mujahedeen of Egypt could not be independently verified.

Afghan, U.S. Forces Kill Six Enemy Combatants

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 2005 – Afghan and U.S. forces killed six enemy combatants after the militants fired at a forward operating base near the city of Deh Rahwod in southern Afghanistan on Aug. 14, U.S. officials reported today.
The militants launched a small-arms and rocket attack on the base, and Afghan National Army and U.S. forces returned fire with small arms and called for close air support. Coalition forces captured one light machine gun, four assault rifles and one radio.

"Afghan and U.S. forces are engaging and killing the enemies of Afghanistan at every turn," said U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jerry O'Hara, a Combined Joint Task Force 76 spokesman. "It has been proven time after time that the enemies of Afghanistan cannot stand face to face with Afghan and U.S. forces and expect to be successful."

No Afghan or U.S. forces were injured in the incident, officials said.

Elsewhere in Afghanistan, members of the Helmand province governor's security task force turned in a large cache of ammunition, consisting of 172 rockets, 123 mortar rounds, and six tank rounds, to the Lashkar Gah provincial reconstruction team Aug. 14.

Afghan security forces recovered the cache in a village northeast of Lashkar Gah. Officials reported that this is the first time the governor's security forces in Helmand province turned in a cache to coalition forces. It also is the largest the provincial reconstruction team has received in the past three months.

"Munitions such as these are dangerous and unstable and pose a great threat to the people living and working near them," said Capt. Fidel Arvelo, commander of the team's explosive ordnance control team. "We applaud the efforts of security forces that are doing the right thing by turning these dangerous items in to us for safe destruction."

Coalition forces reported a 25 percent increase in the number of caches recovered by Afghans and Afghan forces as compared to this time last year, officials said.

"Out-and-out terrorism on the border near Laredo
Situation puts Americans right in the crosshairs"

By JERRY BREWER

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Tony Garza, the U.S. ambassador to Mexico, recently described a brutal gun battle that took place on July 28 in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, between "armed criminal groups," as having "included unusually advanced weapons." This since the combatants used an arsenal that combined automatic weapons, bazookas and hand grenades, in the attack on an apparent safe house of one drug cartel by those of another.

Actually, hundreds of different caliber shells were subsequently found at the war zone-like scene, along with AK-47 rifles, handguns and ski masks. And if that is not disturbing enough, a state policeman who asked not to be identified said that investigators found numerous photographs of municipal police officers at the residence, an apparent hit list of officials sentenced to death. Further intelligence revealed that each of the photographs listed the officer's name and assigned location, along with maps to their homes."


ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "The attacks on Mexican and U.S. soil, along with the paramilitary sightings, should convince U.S. and Mexican officials, as well as the public at large, that these are terrorist attacks. Must there be suicide-homicide and related bombers to convince us that these are terrorist acts?"

At least 100 bombs explode in Bangladesh
AFP via Babelfish translation | August 17, 2005

Posted on 08/17/2005 1:40:20 AM PDT by HAL9000

DACCA - At least 100 bombs of low power exploded in a nearly simultaneous way Wednesday in several cities of Bangladesh, including 15 in the Dacca capital, according to the police force.
According to information's given by the police force, 111 bombs, apparently very of artisanal manufacture and low power, exploded in this Moslem country directed by a allied governmental coalition with the islamist parties.

Approximately 15 bombs exploded in the capital, 20 in the large port of the south-east of the country, Chittagong. Last nine explosions were announced to Barisal, in the south, and at least six in Khulna, in south-west.

The police force also brought back 61 explosions which have occurred in eleven other cities.

The police force had initially made state of around fifty of attacks. "Of the bombs exploded everywhere in the country. We have information on casualties but not yet on deaths ", had said to AFP the chief of the police force, Abdul Kaiyum.

In some of these cities, the police force found leaflets emanating apparently from a recently prohibited islamist group calling with the application of the Koranic law to Bangladesh.

Is Chicago in the crosshairs?"
Chicago Tribune ^ | August 16, 2005 | Graham Allison

Posted on 08/17/2005 1:18:55 AM PDT by RWR8189

Many Americans consider the idea of a nuclear bomb exploding in an American city to be Hollywood science fiction, but FBI warnings that terrorists may be planning an attack on Chicago are hitting close to home and are eerily familiar.

One month after the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center, a CIA agent code-named "Dragonfire" reported that Al Qaeda had acquired a small nuclear bomb from the former Soviet arsenal and had brought it to New York City.

Vice President Dick Cheney and hundreds of other government officials evacuated Washington for a then-undisclosed location. President Bush dispatched nuclear experts to search for signs of radiation.

Mercifully, Dragonfire's report was a false alarm.

The truth, however, is that the U.S. government had no grounds to dismiss the warning. While not likely, it is possible that Al Qaeda is hiding nuclear bombs in one or several American cities today. So who can say that the trucks the FBI warned about might not contain weapons of mass destruction?

Smuggling a nuclear weapon into Chicago is not as improbable as it seems.

The highly enriched uranium needed to build a simple nuclear weapon is smaller than a football. It could be smuggled through American borders and into the metropolis the way illegal drugs come into the city every day: in uninspected cargo containers delivered by ships and trains, contraband smuggled over the Canadian-American border, or innumerable other ways.

Why might Al Qaeda aspire to such a difficult, deadly assault? Bin Laden has challenged the Al Qaeda movement to trump Sept. 11. That calls for attacks more spectacular than hijacking jumbo jets to crash into trophy buildings. The ultimate terrorist spectacle would be an American city enveloped by a nuclear mushroom cloud.

JOURNAL PUBLISHING COMPANY EMPLOYEE NIXES AD FOR FAITH BASED MINISTRY
Calls it “Discriminatory”

NEWS RELEASE

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (ANS) -- For additional information call
Jeremy Reynalds at (505) 400-7145 or (505) 877-6967

A Joy Junction homeless shelter staff member thought placing an ad in the Albuquerque Journal for an office receptionist for the faith-based ministry would be a simple matter.

That was until a Journal Publishing Company employee told her the ad was “discriminatory.”

This is the text of the ad that Joy Junction unsuccessfully attempted to place.

“Receptionist - Joy Junction - Pleasant phone manner, ability to multi-task, computer ability: Word and Excel. Office experience necessary, ministry experience preferred, strong customer service skills. Ability to make independent judgments about work, yet work as a team member. Applications available on-line at www.joyjunction.com.”

The problem? The words “ministry experience preferred.”

Attempts made by Joy Junction personnel to resolve the situation were unsuccessful.

Joy Junction Founder and Director Jeremy Reynalds said he felt the aggressive stand taken by the Journal Publishing Company employee reflected a basic lack of understanding about the needs and role of a faith-based ministry.

Reynalds said, “It is important for everyone to remember that we are not a social service agencies that deals only with physical hunger and need. We are a church organization – a faith-based ministry, an umbrella term for a charitable group whose goal is to save souls as well as bodies. We need and have a right to hire employees whose beliefs reflect those values. And as University of Texas Professor Marvin Olasky pointed out in his book ‘The Tragedy of American Compassion,’ as opposed to the typical governmental ‘anything goes,’ approach, faith- based ministries use a tough love that demands accountability, adherence to moral standards and changes in behavior.”
