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
Home grown Islamists may hit US: FBI chief
Full Story

WASHINGTON -- The United States could be attacked by "home grown" Islamist terror groups, the FBI's chief has warned.

FBI Director Robert Mueller told the London Financial Times newspaper in an interview published Thursday that the United States could face attacks from "home-grown terrorism" very similar to the July 7 bombings in London that killed 52 people and wounded another 700, Mueller said.

When asked if the United States could face such attacks from "home-grown groups", Mueller answered emphatically: "Absolutely, it could," the Financial Times said.

I am sure this is the report from a couple days ago, I am posting it, for the phone call location, I do not recall
having read that in the thread, no wonder they reacted, isn't a Metro station, the subway?

Washington Monument Evacuated
http://www.nbc4.com/news/5071852/detail.html
Washington Monument evacuated of all tourists. D.C. police received
telephone threat. National Mall area near the monument has been
evacuated. Constitution & Independence avenues have been closed, as
well as 15th and 17th streets. Metro officials said there's a
possibility that a pay phone inside the Tenleytown Metro Station was
used to phone in a threat against the Washington Monument.

Did they ever get the "King of hearts:" Hami Abd al-Latif Tilfah, special security organization.

I don't think they got him.

And then there is this:

"Commenting on these hadiths, Tuffah has rightly observed
that, despite the occurrence of the word brother
(akh) therein, they are of general import, and
their scope is not confined to Muslims, the reason being
that in Islam justice and benevolence (adl wa ihsan) are
not confined to Muslims alone."

They never got him and there is no picture of him. Maybe he is in the US and now photographed online somewhere under an alias.

I see. Your AKH is more than likely it, better than mine.

Thank you, a surprise to find this for the answer.

Why am I not surprised that Shadi Hamed is or was a
Legislative Fellow for Sen. Diane Feinstein and he is so
will traveled.

Imagine it he is a Fulbright scholarship winner, the same as clinton. Now that is enough to give you nightmares.

Note the title:

Adnan Khashoggi Linked to 911 Terrorists PART 7: THE BROTHER-BRUDER-AKH AXIS

By Alex Constantine

Prelude: Abu Sayyaf &
the CIA'S Terror Incubator
in the Philippines

It's generally agreed that the same arm of Al Quaeda responsible for the 1993 WTC bombing returned on 9/11/01 to finish the job. It's a reasonable assumption that the first attempt to level the towers, and the subsequent paths of blind cleric Rahman's fellow conspirators, should provide some answers to questions left in the wake of 911 concerning its obscure history and sponsorship. Media histories of al-Queda trace its roots to Saudi Arabia. Founder Osama Bin Laden pushed early funding through the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO), as arranged in meetings between al Qaeda's inner-circle and the charity's directors. (The Saudi government funded terrorist attacks on Israel in utter secrecy throughout most of the 1990's via charities in Virginia and Florida.1) Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's lieutenant, was employed by the IIRO in Albania. The Philippine branch office was run by Osama's brother-in-law (1986-94), who made a hand-off of cash to the Abu Sayyaf, an al Quaeda offshoot.2 The DoD, CIA and other opaque branches of government (oh, and the Mafia), drawn by the lure of Japanese and German gold (see part 5), maintained a particularly busy presence in the Philippines as the Marcos kleptocracy declined and fell. Khashoggi's Iran-contra ally, Oliver North, oversaw "back door" shipments of the recovered gold, much of it to Arab governments, some of it to Middle Eastern terrorists trading on the black market. North met with Osama Bin Laden's money men often to negotiate exchange of the gold.3 The Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), like Al Quaeda, owed its existence to the intelligence establishment. The ASG was co-founded by Edwin Angeles, an undercover agent for the Defense Intelligence Group at the Department of National Defense, Republic of the Philippines. His Muslim handle was "Ibrahim Yakub" and as the organization's operations officer and chief recruiter, he was largely responsible for the spread - and criminalization - of the Abu Sayyaf....

Note: Notice that the Worldwide Public announcement is current and that it was last updated August 2, 2005. The following text is an exact quote as of this posting:
---

http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/pa/pa_1161.html

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
This information is current as of today, Sun Oct 09 2005 09:02:49 GMT-0700.

Worldwide Caution

August 02, 2005


This Public Announcement updates information on the continuing threat of terrorist actions and violence against Americans and interests overseas. This supersedes the Worldwide Caution dated March 8, 2005 and expires on February 2, 2006.

The Department of State remains concerned about the continued threat of terrorist attacks, demonstrations and other violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests overseas. Americans are reminded that demonstrations and rioting can occur with little or no warning. Ongoing events in Iraq have resulted in demonstrations and associated violence in several countries; such events are likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Nation-wide elections in Afghanistan scheduled for mid-September may also trigger violent anti-American actions.

Current information suggests that al-Qa’ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics to include assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings and bombings. Extremists may elect to use conventional or non-conventional weapons, and target both official and private interests. The latter may include facilities where U.S. citizens and other foreigners congregate or visit, including residential areas, business offices, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, hotels and public areas.

In the wake of the July 2005 London bombings and the March 2004 train attacks in Madrid, Americans are reminded of the potential for terrorists to attack public transportation systems. In addition, extremists may also select aviation and maritime services as possible targets.

U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance, be aware of local events, and take the appropriate steps to bolster their personal security. For additional information, please refer to “A Safe Trip Abroad” found at http://travel.state.gov.

U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or periodically suspend public services to assess their security posture. In those instances, U.S. embassies and consulates will make every effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. Americans abroad are urged to monitor the local news and maintain contact with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.

As the Department continues to develop information on any potential security threats to U.S. citizens overseas, it shares credible threat information through its Consular Information Program documents, available on the internet at http://travel.state.gov. In addition to information on the internet, travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. or outside the U.S. and Canada on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.

Ah yes, Kashoggi, the arms dealer -- brother-in-law of Mohammed al Fayed, and uncle of Dodi al Fayed who died with Princess Diana. I remember some fawning segment on 60 minutes years ago, having to do with him.

Interesting article here on him:

If I remember correctly, IH was down quite a few months ago. The owner of the site was very ill and couldn't run it anymore. I believe someone else took it over (?). It was probably around the time of that post you are referring to, which was late January 2005.

As far as Adnan being "that" Adnan, only Adnan knows.
