Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - July 2006

Posted on 07/01/2006 1:15:53 PM PDT by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Bin Laden Says Will Take Fight to America
(Full Story)

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden said his group reserved the right to fight the United States on its land and warned Washington and the world community against sending forces to Somalia, according to an Internet audio tape.

"We will fight its (U.S.) soldiers on the land of Somalia ... and we reserve the right to punish it on its land and anywhere possible," said the speaker, who sounded like the Saudi-born militant.

"We warn all of the countries in the world not to respond to America by sending international troops to Somalia," he said of the African nation where Islamists' power is rising.

Interpol tackles dollar fraud
AFP via The Tocqueville Connection ^ | 07/26/2006

Posted on 07/27/2006 4:18:43 AM PDT by Republicain

LYON, France, July 26, 2006 (AFP) - International police body Interpol said Wednesday it had brought together about 60 experts to discuss ways of fighting the production of fake US dollar banknotes with attention focused on fraud in North Korea.

Several sources have indicated that North Korea is at the centre of efforts to manufacture bogus US currency, Interpol said.

Discussions about methods to fight the trade took place all day and the experts decided to meet again to carry on their work together.

Since 1989, US notes of 50- and 100-dollar denominations worth nearly 50 million dollars (39.5 million euros) have been seized, mostly outside of the United States, and Interpol described the fakes as "very deceptive but detectable".

Interpol is based in Lyon, southeast France.

"Blame our establishment for appeasing these extremists"
By MELANIE PHILLIPS, Daily Mail09:01am 5th July 2006
Reader comments (15)


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "But this doesn't follow at all. Indeed, the Populus poll revealed that more than half of all British Muslims want the Government to do much more to root out the extremism being practised in the name of their religion.

It is beyond belief, for example, that what is hailed as the biggest mosque in Europe is planned to be built on the East London site of the Olympic village — and it is being funded by the Tablighi Jamaat, said by the FBI and French intelligence to be the biggest recruiters for Al Qaeda in Europe.

Recruitment

It is beyond belief that nothing is being done to stop the recruitment and incitement to violence taking place not just in mosques and madrassas but on campuses, in youth clubs and in prisons.

It was concern over the depth of Britain's denial that caused me to write my book Londonistan — which was almost not published in Britain because publishers thought it was not 'politically correct' — precisely to sound the alarm over a widespread state of denial which, if unchecked, will have deadly consequences."

"Al-Qaeda clone takes root in the US"
By B Raman in the Asian Times

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The 41-count charge sheet, or indictment as it is called in the US, charged the 11 accused with conspiracy, firearms violations and plotting against a friendly nation - namely, India. US officials connected with the investigation were quoted by the media as saying that there was no evidence that the accused were considering an attack within the US or had ties to al-Qaeda. And officials were careful not to describe the group as a "sleeper cell" - a term used to characterize suspected terrorist supporters in Lackawanna, NY, Seattle and elsewhere arrested last year, some of whom were connected with the Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) of Pakistan.

However, the officials charged that the men conspired to help Muslims abroad in violent jihad not only in India, but also in Chechnya, the Philippines and other countries. The men, the charge sheet said, obtained AK-47s and other high-powered weaponry and practiced small-unit military tactics in Virginia."

SMOKING GUN - HEZ'S IRANIAN CACHE STASH
NY Post ^ | 27 July 2006 | URI DAN

Posted on 07/26/2006 10:25:07 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

July 26, 2006 -- JERUSALEM - Israel claimed victory in Hezbollah's southern "capital" yesterday after a battle in Lebanon that uncovered Iranian-made weapons and electronic equipment and left 150 guerrillas dead. Israeli forces found "war rooms" equipped with Iranian surveillance and eavesdropping gear in Bint Jbail, the main Hezbollah stronghold just inside the border.

"The town is completely controlled by us," an Israeli colonel said.

Caches of weapons were also found in Bint Jbail, Israeli officials said.

Mahmoud Komati, deputy chief of Hezbollah's political arm, refused to acknowledge the group was firing Iranian-made missiles into Israel.

"We don't deny nor confirm. We believe where the weapons come from is irrelevant," he said, adding that Hezbollah has weapons made in France, Russia, China and the United States.

"Some of our fighters carry M16s. So you think we buy them from America?" he asked.

The death toll from the two-week war continued to mount, including six Lebanese killed by a bomb in Nebatiyeh and a 15-year-old Arab girl killed by a Hezbollah rocket in northern Israel. At least three U.N. observers were also killed, with one other feared dead. They were from Austria, Canada, China and Finland, U.N. and Lebanese officials said.

Yep, but remember, OPINION: It's not the message that is the most important; it's the fact that a message is being released -- THAT is the most important.

Also, unconfirmed because no hard source on this UBL message yet.

Today's Zawahiri Tape: Updated

This entry was posted on 7/27/2006 7:16 AM and is filed under uncategorized.

In this morning’s new Al Qaeda message, Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri reminds the world that the old adage “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” is alive and well.

Although it’s only been a few weeks since Zawahiri’s amir, Bin Laden, issued a message threatening Shi’ite Muslims with attacks, Zawahiri this morning vowed to “not stand by idly” while the Muslims in Lebanon and Gaza are attacked by the Israelis. Although Sunni Islam is the predominent sect in Gaza, Hizbullah (the focus of the Israeli offensive) follows the Shi'ite branch of Islam.

This morning’s video tape is a striking contrast to the normal Al Qaeda videos of Zawahiri, which for several years have featured the terror leader in front of a curtain or fabric backdrop. The tape shows Zawahiri in what appears to be a studio, in front of a backdrop with photographs of Bin Laden and the laceName w:st="on">WorldlaceName> laceName w:st="on">TradelaceName> laceType w:st="on">CenterlaceType> exploding in flames.

In the message, Al Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al Zawahiri threatens the Israelis and the west in retaliation for the war in Lebanon.


Zawahiri’s key points are:

The world is a battle field open in front of us.
This war with Israel cannot be ended by ceasefires or treaties.
This is a jihad and will continue until the religion of Allah rules the world
Everyone taking part in these attacks will pay the price

We are continuing our translation and analysis and will update again shortly.
