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.

They have desecrated Heidi's storybook format. We didn't see the Centanni - Wiig interview. We switched from Fox to watching Glen Beck on CNN. He's much less pompous and nails the facts with a lot less personal product hype (and commercials) than Fox News.

The strategies for the secret jihad cells

Snip: Also advised is to target military installations, as doing so causes a “large echo”. For this purpose, members of the jihadist Internet community are encouraged to provide information on American military bases around the world on the jihadi forums, so as the Mujahideen may choose the best location of attack. In addition, the author believes that importance should be placed on submerging members in the cell’s environment, whereas they must not act or appear in such a way to draw suspicion to himself....

Call Darfur what it is: a jihad against Christian and non-Muslims

Snip: Sudan's president, Hassan al-Bashir, will likely negotiate with the United Nations only as a means of buying time for the resumption of his Arab-led government's conversion of Sudan's civilians.

Clerics say insurance is anti-Islamic

Snip: One of South Asia's most influential Islamic seminaries has issued an edict telling Muslims not to buy life insurance policies because they violate Islamic law.

Clerics at the Dar-ul-Uloom seminary said Muslims should not invest in life insurance as "life is given by Allah and to insure it or assure it, is a crime in the eyes of Allah."

Self-described Muslim terrorist kills with SUV

Snip: "Popal was arrested at a Walgreens at Spruce and California Streets. The attacks began around one p.m., unclear in what order," and then there was an update later that the day. I read this and I haven't confirmed this, that this happened in a heavily Jewish area, and then there is this latest update. Let me see if I can source this. [WizBangBlog.com] Headline: "San Francisco Hit-and-Run Driver Called Himself a Terrorist -- After Omeed Aziz Popal was arrested he referred to himself a terrorist. But the police appeared to have ignored his statements and said it had nothing to do with terrorism.

Hezbollah terrorist sleeper cell suspected in New York City

Snip: While many U.S. government officials are deeply concerned over Iran’s nuclear program, according to recent reports, investigations by Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department revealed last May that the Lebanon-based terrorist group Hezbollah may be plotting attacks. These attacks may be launched by their sleeper cells in New York and several other U.S. cities.

Either way, I'm sure it's been stressful...

Hello! I've never been on this thread before, but I wanted to hand off something to you all so that it is preserved somewhere, lol.

I had started a link roundup of threads about the London Airplane Bomb Plot, because so many threads were going at one time that it was hard to keep up.

Then I kept going with it all this month, but tonight I realized that I was only chronicling ancillary threads (surveillance, terrorism on our soil, general topics like that) that originally pertained directly to the bombing plotters, but today there was no direct news.

The case is ongoing in the UK and I would follow along in the future, but this takes more time than I wanted to devote.

So, for anyone you have who is following it, here is a list of all the threads on FR that have pertained to it since we heard about it. Each group of links starts with the newest on top and the oldest on the bottom.

If you know of another group or a ping person that I should also hand it along to, let me know!
