Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - September 2006

[nwctwx]

Five Years Later, We're Still Not Safe
-Full Story-

In the five years since terrorists flew hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans have accepted inconvenience, sacrificed personal liberties and paid billions of dollars for a security clampdown that touches virtually every aspect of their lives.

And we're still not safe.

A close examination of the federal government's homeland security effort shows that there have been major accomplishments since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. But it also reveals how vulnerable the nation remains to catastrophe.

Good I hope they convey to obl what a coward he is. Do you see Americans hiding and covering their faces no only OBl and company. They try to prove they are winning they have nothing to show for it.

[Velveeta]

We'll get him one day and Zawahiri too.
I promise to hit the streets ululating when that happens.

[Velveeta]

Lump in throat again.

[Cindy]

Yep.

"Terror guide spread in Indonesia"
Stephen Fitzpatrick, Jakarta correspondent
September 12, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET:
"A GUIDEBOOK urging jihad in the spirit of Osama bin Laden, "the conqueror of communist and American forces", is being distributed across Indonesia in an attempt to create small independent terrorist cells, a new report claims.
The 82-page book has been secretly distributed over the past several months, according to a report yesterday in news magazine Tempo.

The claim comes as senior officials including police chief Sutanto try to reassure the public that chances of a new terrorist bombing are substantially reduced by comparison with previous years.

The period between September and November has become known as "bombing season" and terrorist leader Mohammad Cholily, sentenced in Bali last week to 18 years jail for his involvement in the attacks there last year, told investigators that bombmaker Azahari bin Husin instructed him "there must be a bombing every year".

Azahari lasted only a few weeks beyond that statement, being killed in a shootout with police in East Java in November.

However, his renegade partner Noordin Mohammed Top remains at large and could still be influencing potential bombers -- although the Tempo investigation reveals that with the latest book's help, new cells could be operating without any reference to Top. The guide contains detailed instructions on seeking funding, recruiting members, dividing tasks among members, on training methods and rules for selecting meeting places.

It also quotes from the Koran "justifying terror-based jihad", according to the magazine, and orders its readers: "We expect that you will act on these writings based on your own particular experience."

It says: "We hope you will be protected by Allah, just as he has protected Sheik Abu Abdillah Osama bin Laden.""

"US Will Not Hand Over Terror Suspect Hambali To Indonesia"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "JAKARTA, Sept 12 (Bernama) -- The United States is unlikely to hand over terror suspect Riduan Isamudin alias Hambali to Indonesia without any consideration for fear its credibility in the eyes of the US community will be at stake.

ANTARA news agency quoted an international affairs observer Hariyadi Wirawan, that if US handed Hambali to Indonesian government, it will reflect that US is not serious about fighting terrorism."

"Profile of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, perpetrator of a suicide bombing attack"
in Tel Aviv, February 25, 2005

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Imad the Terrible, my obsession. I have more interest in finding him than usama and I cannot believe he has not made another public splash yet in all these years. He is either dead or something wicked is waiting under wraps.

[Cindy]

You know, I have never run across any article describing him as ill or dead. If I ever do, you will be the first one I ping, Donna.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Thanks, Cindy. I would like to imagine Imad deceased right now, of course!

That is the only state of being for him and others that is safe for the world.

[MamaDearest]

• What motivated 19 relatively well-off Arab men, all Muslims, to become such horrific suicide bombers?

There are no words to describe the incredulity of that question.

[Cindy]

Well unless he went dust to dust, all there is an old FBI wanted photo and another old photo -- nothing current.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

My thoughts exactly. It is utterly incredible.

[Cindy]

You know mamadearest, I wrote a friend a note on that very same subject. I was absolutely ___ and ___ and ___. I had to read the article 3 or 4 times to make sure I was reading what I was reading.

[Cindy]

Thank you nw.

Cotabato City, 11 Sept. (AKI) - One of two top Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) members hiding in the southern Philippines province of Sulu, was reportedly killed by Filipino security forces, a spokesperson for the Muslim rebel groups in the south told Adnkronos International (AKI) on Monday. Eid Kabalu, spokesperson of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), said that their forces in the town of Jolo, some 590 miles south of Manila, have received information that one of two JI militants was killed in last week's offensive by the Philippine Army and Marines in the nearby town of Patikul.

"Zawahiri's Attack on Fellow Muslims and Threat Against Jordan"
By Nick Grace
September 12, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "he 12th message from Ayman al-Zawahiri was released on September 11, "Hot Issues with Shaykh Ayman al-Zawahiri," which is dated September 2006. The video, which lasts 01:16, is not as well produced as as-Sahab's more recent products but is subtitled in what appears to be colloquial American English. The video features a one-on-one interview with the al Qaeda operations chief and an off-camera interviewer. Zawahiri sits in front of a bookshelf. As evidenced with shoddy editing during some of the questions, the original interviewer's voice has been replaced with a slick and deep-voiced presenter.

The video contains three main points: promotion of the fight to establish Islamic Emirates in Iraq and Afghanistan, criticism of Muslims who do not support al Qaeda or its Jihad, and a declaration that the looming theater in Jordan will lead to the biggest conquest - Israel."
