Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - August 2006

Posted on 08/01/2006 9:51:52 PM PDT by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Syria Tells Troops to Be Ready for Battle
(Full Story)

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has placed his military on full alert, citing "regional challenges", and vowed to continue supporting the "Palestinian and Lebanese resistance more than ever".

In a speech to mark the Syrian Army national day, Mr Assad said the volatile situation across the Middle East required "vigilance, preparation and readiness" and ordered all units of the armed forces to be on alert.

The comments were interpreted by Israel as a morale booster to the Syrian armed forces and not a call to battle. Israeli intelligence chiefs have assessed that Syria is not in the mood for an open war and is instead content to resupply Hezbollah guerillas in Lebanon.

Plot accused formed ties at mosque

SNIP:No extremist Muslim groups have infiltrated the mosque but it is believed that local fanatics have distributed leaflets outside during prayer times.

The mosque does allow a missionary Islamic group, Tablighi Jamaat, to preach inside. The sect is known for its tendency towards secrecy.

Western security services have in the past accused the global Tablighi movement of being a "conveyor belt" for terrorism. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,20130769-2703,00.html

No, it's still being reported as 10 planes. It's just 50 have been arrested related to the plan not that 50 people were going to be on the planes. Does that make sense? I have brain fog :-)

how come this hasn't hit the media yet? You would think that the propaganda machine would have a field day blowing this out of proportion

Apathy. Unless corporate jets carrying well-known famous businessmen are involved, it's no big deal to the MSM. Multiple jets destroyed, now that might pique their interest, but don't count on it...unless someone famous is involved. It's not news unless they can throw out names that people identify with.....anything else appears blase to them.

Nothing to see here... Move along....

At least these events are now documented - for when the FBI has to prove itself at the next 9/11 type hearings one day.

The EU Idiot's Guide to Islamic Extremism

Snip: Isn’t it a tacit admission of something to say that just using insulting language can make a Muslim snap into kill mode? If policies, protocols and language lexicons are changing based on “Let’s not anger them,” the implication is that those who aren’t terrorists are simply not terrorists yet. We are being told, in so many words, that Muslims as a group are at-risk, that the average Muslim has terroristic inclinations.

Infant to be used as tool in terror scheme

A husband-and-wife team of suicide bombers allegedly planned to sacrifice their own baby by hiding liquid explosives in the infant's milk and blowing up a passenger plane, according to news reports on the British terrorist plot to bring down as many as 12 airliners.

Police are investigating claims the couple were prepared to use their baby as a decoy, according to a report in yesterday's Sunday Mirror. The possibility prompted airports to allow passengers with small children to carry baby food onto planes only if they tasted it first.

"This takes things to a horrifying new level. It is truly horrific that a man may have been ready to blow up his wife and she was prepared to let her child die," an intelligence source told the Mirror.

A spokesperson with Scotland Yard said she could not comment on that aspect of the investigation.

Enjoy your rest Cindy - you deserve it. Yep, it has been quite a day. Instead of this thread "cooling down," current events keep it pumped up and running fast. No time for rest unless we make it happen (smiling and thinking about those lucky weeds that we don't have time to pull).

Yep, it is so hot and heavy, that one could literally be staying on the 'net 24/7 to see what's new.

Glad you all were posting the new stuff...gives me time to cyber travel.

I was checking out AllMyJihad's blog.
Looks a bit sparse.

He's such a nut case.
Wouldn't it be great if everyone sent
him a fruitcake chock full of nuts?

If I was a cartoonist; I would have
the flag of Iran in the background,
and President AllMyJihad popping out
of a GIANT fruit cake.

Maybe he can stick that cartoon in his..
ummm...museum.

"Suspicious Cell Phone Purchase Investigation"
Aug 14, 2006 10:55 PM
Mark Stine KOLD News 13 Reporter

ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""What we got was a 9-1-1 report of two middle eastern males in the Sam's Club on Stone South of River," Tucson Police Sergeant Mark Robinson explained.

The report was made because of suspicious activity.

"That bought a large quantity of disposable cell phones."

Tucson Police Sgt. Mark Robinson explains why buying these cell phones could be considered suspicious. "People involved in criminal activity use these types of phones because they're easy to smuggle and they're hard to track."

Last week, two men were arrested in Ohio with more than $10,000 in cash and a dozen cell phones.

According to a Detroit newspaper, police stopped their car after a store clerk reported the men had been acting suspiciously. They face felony terrorism charges.

Police arrested three men in Michigan this weekend after the men purchased 1,000 cell phones.

The FBI says it has no information linking the three men to terrorism."

That's a very good point.
