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.

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.

At first, carbon monoxide poisoning was suspected, but Brady says a can of gasoline was found on the building's roof near a fresh air intake for an air conditioning system. It was drawing fumes into the building.

Things that make you go...hmmmmm.

That could just be an artifact of the search engine. I've noticed that on some searches, the item pops up in all kinds of strange places. There may be markers that target search strings and add the items to a metatag list for later use.

Just a guess.

Could be, but that has just popped up in the last week or so.

It seemed to coincide with the 'administrative review' of BFHAM.

The project of the Muslim Brotherhood to conquer the world

According to Sylvain Besson, a Swiss investigative reporter, Swiss authorities found a fascinating document when they entered Yusuf Nada’s villa in November 2001. Nada is by the way viewed as one of the bankrollers of Al Qaeda; he is the head of the Al Taqwa Bank. The document seized entitled “The Project” is a fourteen page leaflet dated December 1982 calling for the Muslim Brotherhood’s conquest of the world.
It is a detailed roadmap to attain this objective. The Muslim Brothers must infiltrate existing institutions rather than create their own. It calls for a guerilla war against Israel in the Palestinian territories and support to diverse armed Muslim groups from Bosnia to the Philippines. Swiss investigators confirm that the Project is the proof of the Muslim Brotherhood’s role in supporting and inspiring the worldwide jihad. Also a Western official who studied closely the Project assesses that it is the biggest threat for European democracies in the next ten years. He affirms that Europe will witness the birth of a parallel Muslim society, a parallel Muslim Parliament and so forth. Just as a side for most European secret services, Tariq Ramadan, the new adviser to British Prime Minister Blair on terrorism, is the unofficial head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe. It looks like the infiltration is working fine!

Private Investigation Leads to Swiss Cyberterror Arrests

As a result of a month-long private cyberterrorism investigation conducted by Globalterroralert.com and reported on exclusively in the Swiss journal Die Weltwoche, Swiss police in Geneva have announced the arrest of two North Africans in connection with the fraudulent use of a University of Geneva computer lab in disseminating jihad propaganda videos and "inciting racial hatred." Neither of the unnamed pair--a 27-year old Moroccan and a 41-year old Algerian--were legal citizens of Switzerland. According a statement from Swiss police, "these individuals were observed using computers at the University of Geneva, over several months, for websurfing and visiting... violent extremist sites." In order to gain access to the computer lab, the two men had stolen the access code of a former student who had inadvertently left theirs available on a public access terminal.

Though the two men have denied uploading any material and have insisted that they were only "curious", digital forensic evidence archived by Globalterroralert.com indicates that, over the space of at least three months, a user in the same computer lab at the University of Geneva uploaded thousands of megabytes of Al-Qaida-related multimedia to various free Internet servers for other militants around the world to download--including recent audio recordings from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the testimony of a Saudi Al-Qaida member who escaped from Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan, and the latest video of UBL deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri concerning the October 8 earthquake in Pakistan.

This case should serve as an example of how silently gathering information on cyberterrorists who choose to "camp out" in "Western cyberspace" and using that information to track and detain human operators can often be a more efficient approach than merely shutting down their prolific websites. Just as the Internet can be a "Wild West" for savvy cyberterrorists like the notorious Irhaby 007, it can also be a "Venus Fly Trap" for other, less-sophisticated online personalities.

I don't know what made my son become suicide bomber

THE father of Yorkshire suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer has spoken for the first time about the "terrible act" his son committed on July 7.

(snip)

Mr Tanweer, in his first interview since the terror attacks, said: "All the bombings and killings were awful. Only the group of four (bombers) or God alone knows why they carried out this terrible act."

He does not know how his son – who looked upon Osama bin Laden as his hero – could have become a terrorist.

Memo to Mr. Tanweer: The above is a CLUE.

However that only pushes the question back one level: why did he admire Osama bin Laden? I suspect that that's what his father meant by his statement.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Thanks for the Denver link.

Did you also see the San Francisco report, 2 cars firing bullets at each other, and a bullet went through the wall of a home, killed a man laying on his couch.

His mother said it was the second time in a month that stray bullets had hit their home.

Gangs, I assume, KGO radio had the report, they did not have a suspect.

On the maple smell, I don't think we know, but I have been kinda foggy the last few days and could have missed it.

I just posted the full translation of this article on my website. This is a translation that everyone needs to read.

Al Akhbar is owned by the Egyptian government and everything they publish clears Egyptian governmental censors.

I won't post the entire thing here because it is long but I'm posting a summary.

31 October 2005 - Egyptian state owned newspaper says Iranian President Ahmadinezhad's Remarks Justify US, Israeli Attack on Iranian Nuke Sites

The Egyptian state-owned Arabic-language daily newspaper Al Akhbar has published an article that says that the remarks made by Iranian President Ahmadinezhad calling for Israel to be wiped off the map gives "legitimacy to any possible American or Israeli military attack on Iran's nuclear installations." He continues to slam Iran, closing with the commend "And then no one in this world will shed a single tear for Iran!"
