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!

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.

" I don't have time to wade through the jokes on the main thread?"

I think that is one reason TM has continued for as long as it has. Anything that could be an attack by foreign or domestic terrorists should be taken seriously. There's a time and place for jokes. In this case a woman was badly hurt and a store was badly damaged. This is definitely not a time for jokes.

Friday, August 19, 2005

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordanian authorities are searching for six people who may be connected to the rocket attack that killed a Jordanian soldier and nearly missed two U.S. warships docked in a port city south of Amman Friday.

Jordanian and Israeli authorities said militants fired three Katyusha rockets from a warehouse in Aqaba, a Jordanian Red Sea port 210 miles south of Amman, officials said. Sources told FOX News that the government was looking for six people, including two Iraqis, a Syrian and an Egyptian.....

Thanks for the links and note on Mr. Emerson.
I appreciate it.

[Cindy]

Thanks all4one.
I watched the moon last night come up and it was big and beautiful.
I love to watch it.

Anyway, what do you expect from a Cindy?
Cynthia means "moon goddess."

End of trivia...smiling...

[freeperfromnj]

That is quite a scorecard!

[bored at work]

The tornado was just south of where I was at the time but I was smashed with high winds, downed trees, torential rain and lots of lightning. Right in the thick of it! I love a good storm. I NEED a good storm now and then.

Another tornado touched down north of here in Monroe County.

Thanks for asking :0)

This sounds like some sort of fix. But who are the fixers in this case? It grows more intriquing.

[Cindy]

Thank you all4one.
Any updates on that Chicago-bound train man
would be appreciated.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

That is very interesting, Ruth.

It's completely baffling. One of those cases you just can't let go of.

Feds Describe Al-Arian Code

Tampa Tribune

By MICHAEL FECHTER

Published: Aug 17, 2005

http://news.tbo.com/news/MGBQJ5A1HCE.html

TAMPA - His father-in-law was coming from the Middle East to visit and
he promised to bring some shirts.

Sami Al-Arian appeared more than disappointed when his wife told him to
expect only three shirts.

"No, that's nonsense,'' he told her in a telephone call in July 1999.
"They had 25 shirts. They sent over nine. Sixteen remained in addition
to the others.''

Prosecutors say the call was about money, not clothes. It was among
hundreds of conversations intercepted by the FBI under the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act. That law allows electronic surveillance of
people suspected of being agents of a foreign power or terrorist
organization.

The calls are the heart of a 53-count indictment charging Al-Arian and
three co-defendants with racketeering and conspiracy and providing
material support to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Prosecutors insist the conversations are coded, with "books'' and
"shirts'' most commonly referring to money, and normally in $1,000
increments. Nine shirts in this case equals $9,000, they say.

Six days later, Al-Arian called the USF Federal Credit Union, checking
on a wire transfer inadvertently sent to his savings account.

The teller then transferred nearly $9,000 from Al-Arian's savings
account to checking.

FBI Agent Kerry Myers was asked few questions about the conversations
read to jurors Tuesday. It wasn't clear why money was sent from the
Middle East to Tampa.

The last call read to jurors on Tuesday included defendant Sameeh
Hammoudeh venting about Al-Arian's leadership at an Islamic school in Tampa.
In a phone conversation in June 2000 with Al-Arian's brother-in-law,
Mazen Al- Najjar, Hammoudeh complained that Al-Arian was detached and was
overworking him at the Islamic Academy of Florida.

"Man, everybody has come to hate him,'' Hammoudeh said. "All have come
to feel that the matter is one of 'master and slaves.' I mean, he
expects people to line up behind him at the mere mention of something.''

Hammoudeh sat reading the transcript off a courtroom monitor with his
arms crossed as prosecutors read the translated dialogue. Al-Arian sat
less than 5 feet away, separated only by defense attorney Stephen
Bernstein.

Wowser, thanks for that update already.
