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.

Lest we not forget some of the "other" terrorists, already here in the USA:

Police say Labor Day gang violence plans diverted

Snip: Fort Worth police have arrested several people they describe as, “hard core gang members”. Authorities believe the gang members were plotting a violent scheme that was set to unfold this upcoming weekend. The plan, according to police, was a retaliation that would set off a violent Labor Day weekend. Police say, it was a plan diverted.

“We pulled into it a total of about 100 officers into this operation including FBI, ICE, DPS,” said Sgt. Bill Beall, Fort Worth Gang Unit.

Agents arrest suspected MS-13 gang member

Snip: Border Patrol agents aided by National Guard members arrested a 22-year-old suspected member of the violent Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, gang on Wednesday as he tried to re-enter the United States, Customs and Border Protection said.

Andres Gonzalo Manzaneres, of El Salvador, was one of nine illegal immigrants spotted by National Guard members monitoring images from surveillance cameras placed near the Los Tomates international bridge in Brownsville. The Guard members alerted Border Patrol agents in the field, who arrested the immigrants.

Agents processing Manzaneres noticed MS-13 style tattoos on his body, and said a fingerprint scan turned up a lengthy criminal history including prior deportation and a conviction for armed robbery in Los Angeles on Aug. 31, 2001.

Raid nets arsenal of guns; gang video

Snip: Saying an increase in violent crime on the West Bank is caused by post-Katrina gangs "fighting over turf," Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee on Wednesday showed off several high-powered weapons, including a possible grenade launcher, various narcotics and $31,000 in cash that investigators confiscated Monday in a drug raid in Waggaman.

At a news conference, Lee also showed part of an amateur video he said a Marrero gang has been selling on the streets. The video features young men displaying weapons they say will be used in carjackings and murders.

SWAT Team raids gang memeber's home

Snip: In Thursday’s raid a Hispanic gang member was taken into custody. Because of his background, including an arrest for possession of a machine gun, the SWAT team posted guards around the perimeter to make sure they weren’t targets in a retaliatory drive-by shooting.

Zeta gang member caught

Snip: ....federal agents busted a man named Maximiliano Castillo-Jimenez. They say the gang member ran an illegal immigrant stash house in Roma. The man is reportedly part of a notorious group of ex-Mexican military commandos. It's very rare a Zeta is arrested.

Good set of links MamaDearest.

You're right.

When I first read the article, it hit me strangely --- aliens picked up in Area 51 (Roswell). What a bizarre news heading. If it weren't so serious a matter, it would be hysterical.

Howard stands by Muslim comments
news.com.au ^ | 1 September 2006

Posted on 08/31/2006 9:23:43 PM PDT by Aussie Dasher

PRIME Minister John Howard today said he had no need to apologise for telling Muslims they needed to embrace Australian values.

Mr Howard sparked controversy yesterday by saying on talk-back radio that a small group of Muslim migrants had refused to accept their adopted country's values and had not learned English.

His comments sparked fury among some Muslim leaders who say they were offended.

But Mr Howard today stood by his comments.

"I don't apologise," he told reporters.

"I think they are missing the point and the point is that I don't care, and the Australian people don't care, where people come from.

"There's a small section of the Islamic population which is unwilling to integrate and I have said generally all migrants ... they have to integrate."

"Saudi Gets 27 Years to Life for Enslaving Maid (in Colorado)"
arab news ^ | 1 September 2006 | Barbara Ferguson

Posted on 08/31/2006 11:03:57 PM PDT by Mount Athos

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Saudi man convicted of sexually assaulting an Indonesian housekeeper and keeping her as a virtual slave was sentenced yesterday to 27 years to life in prison in Colorado.

Homaidan Al-Turki, the 37-year-old Saudi national, denied the charges and blamed anti-Muslim prejudice for the case against him. He said prosecutors persuaded the housekeeper to accuse him after they failed to build a case that he was a terrorist.

Al-Turki, who was studying for a doctoral degree at the University of Colorado, was convicted June 30 of unlawful sexual contact by use of force, theft and extortion. All are felonies.

He was also convicted on misdemeanor counts of false imprisonment and conspiracy to commit false imprisonment.

After the judge denied a motion for a new trial yesterday, defense attorney John Richilano said he would appeal the convictions. The lawyer argued that cultural differences were at the heart of the charges.

The Saudi Embassy in Washington would not comment on the case.

“The problem is that in Saudi Arabia, many are going to take Al-Turki’s side, and say he was a good guy, which isn’t true,” said a Saudi businessman working in Washington who is following the case but requested anonymity. “He truly did some awful things.”

Bakr Bagader, member of the Saudi National Human Rights Society (NHRS), said the Saudi government should ensure that the man is indeed guilty. “If the man is given a fair trial and is found guilty of sexual assault, backed up by solid evidence, then no one should be above the law,” said Bagader.

Prosecutors and FBI agents said Al-Turki and his wife, Sarah Khonaizan, brought the woman to Colorado to care for their five children and to cook and clean for the family. An affidavit said she spent four years with the family in their suburban Colorado home, sleeping on a mattress on the basement floor and getting paid less than $2 a day.

The media have not identified the woman, who is now 24, because she is an alleged victim of rape.

Al-Turki said he treated the woman the same way any observant Muslim family would treat a daughter."

"Row over Bush TV 'assassination'"


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A British television channel has been criticised as "irresponsible" for making a drama in which US President George Bush is assassinated.
Death of a President, on More4, uses actors and computer effects to portray the president being shot dead during an anti-war rally in Chicago in 2007.

The makers of the 90-minute film said they used the event to explore the effects of the War on Terror on the US."
