Threat Matrix: November 2006

Posted on 11/01/2006 8:20:24 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
The Price of Victory
-Full Story-

The "bombshell" revelation from last April's National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which was leaked to the New York Times in September, was that the war in Iraq had resulted in more terrorism, not less. As reported by United Press International's Claude Salhani, "Did we really need 16 intelligence agencies to tell us that? Ten minutes of watching the newscast of your choice, from Al-Jazeera to Fox News, would be enough to convince most observers." But the key question is why the war has provoked the global Jihad.

One answer has to be the influence in the Arab world of the America-
hating network Al-Jazeera
. The AIM DVD on "Terror Television" shows film footage of captured terrorists saying they came to Iraq to kill Americans because of the words and images on Al-Jazeera.

We do indeed live in interesting times
Judgement Day '06 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 11/07/2006 11:45:49 PM PST by Jim Robinson

We do indeed live in interesting times.

I believe our resolve is about to be tested like it's never been tested before and I pray we're up for it.

The Democrats and the leftist media see this election as a mandate against the president and the war. They are about to pull out all the stops in their mission to totally demoralize the American people. If they succeed to the point we pull out of Iraq before the Iraqis are strong enough to defend themselves, I'm afraid it'll be the Killing Fields all over again. Only this time much much worse and much closer to home.

Praying we have the national resolve to resist the enemy within. Praying we maintain the will to continue the fight against the global jihadists. Our very right to survive as a nation and a free people depends on it.

Our president and our troops are going to need our prayers and support now more than ever.

God willing, America will survive!

"Car thief pleads guilty to 25 counts"

P-I STAFF

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Seattle man believed to be the county's most prolific car thief pleaded guilty Tuesday in King County Superior Court to 25 counts of first-degree theft.

Over a six-month period, Liam Moynihan, 23, admitted to stealing 136 vehicles, prosecutors said.

By pleading guilty to 25 counts, Moynihan puts himself at the maximum sentence range of 43 to 57 months behind bars. King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng will seek an exceptional 10-year prison term at Moynihan's sentencing next month."

DOHA, Qatar (AP) -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Al-Jazeera's taboo-smashing newscasts regularly vex politicians in Washington, but not nearly as much as they anger leaders in the Arab world, where the news channel has been banned from operating in 18 countries at one time or another.

Now, the network is launching its biggest gamble on its 10th anniversary - an English-language channel with an Arab perspective. Al-Jazeera International plans to hit the airwaves Nov. 15 and hopes to steal viewers from CNN and the BBC."

"Bush’s sins are back to haunt him"
11/8/2006 9:30:00 AM GMT

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The political world that President Bush inhabited for the last six years -- the one he ruled, has just come to an end.

After his Party’s disgraceful defeat in the U.S. Congressional mid-term elections, President George W. Bush, who labeled Iraq, Iran and North Korea together as an "axis of evil" nearly five years ago, is likely to face mounting pressure from his policy critics who say the three countries he targeted have instead become an "axis of failure" born of his and the Republicans’ mistakes.

The Democrats won 218 seats, enough to control the House, and were leading for another 15, which give them 233. Republicans, on the other hand only won 176 and were leading in another 26, which would give them 202.

The mid-term poll results are a sign of things to come for the 2008 presidential elections.

Weakened by his Party loss, President Bush will find himself struck in his failing policies and doctrines he announced following September 11 attacks on the U.S. more than five years ago. Policies that focused mainly on isolating what he classified as "rogue states.""

"Barbados Faces Invasion by Giant Snails"
Nov 7th - 3:25pm


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (AP) - A breed of giant, ravenous snails that first appeared in Barbados five years ago has thrived on the tropical island, destroying crops and prompting calls for the government to eliminate the slimy pests.

A nocturnal "snail hunt" last weekend reported finding hundreds of thousands of giant African snails swarming the central parish of St. George, the country's agricultural heartland where farmers had complained of damage to crops including sugar cane, bananas and papayas."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The volunteers sprayed government-supplied pesticides in gullies and other cool, low-lying areas where the snails are believed to breed, venturing out after dark to catch the snails as they emerge from spending the day underground. Walrond's brigade plans to continue its assault over the next three weekends.


The snails, which are about the size of a human hand, are known to consume as many as 500 different plants and their mucous can transmit meningitis and other diseases."

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520

This information is current as of today, Wed Nov 08 2006 02:44:17 GMT-0800.

YEMEN

October 13, 2006

This Travel Warning updates security information for Yemen. This supersedes the Travel Warning for Yemen issued April 13, 2006.

The Department of State continues to strongly urge U.S. citizens to consider carefully the risks of traveling to Yemen. The security threat level remains high due to terrorist activities in Yemen, and Americans in Yemen are urged to exercise caution and take prudent measures to maintain their security.

The Department remains concerned about possible attacks by extremist individuals or groups against U.S. citizens, facilities, businesses and perceived interests. On February 3, 2006, 23 convicts, including known affiliates of al-Qa'ida, escaped from a high-security prison in the capital city, Sanaa. Among the al-Qa'ida associates were individuals imprisoned for their roles in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole and the 2002 attack on the French oil tanker Limburg. In the weeks following the escape, some prisoners voluntarily turned themselves in to authorities; to date however, many escapees remain at large. Two of the escapees were killed in vehicle-based suicide attacks on oil facilities near Mukalla and Marib on September 15. Those attacks were followed by the arrest the next day in Sanaa of four suspected Al Qa’ida operatives, who had stockpiled explosives and weapons.

U.S. citizens in Yemen should exercise caution and take prudent measures to maintain their security. Maintain a high level of vigilance, avoid crowds and demonstrations, keep a low profile, vary times and routes for all travel, and ensure travel documents are current. U.S. citizens who remain in or travel to Yemen despite this Travel Warning should register at the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa and enroll in the warden system (emergency alert network) in order to obtain updated information on travel and security in Yemen. This can be done online at https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs.

The U.S. Embassy in Sanaa advises American citizens in Yemen to exercise particular caution at locations frequented by foreigners countrywide and at restaurants and hotels frequented by expatriates. Americans who believe they are being followed or threatened while driving in urban centers should proceed as quickly as possible to the nearest police station or major intersection and request assistance from the officers in the blue-and-white police cars stationed there. Occasionally, U.S. Government personnel in Yemen may be prohibited from traveling to sections of Sanaa or other parts of Yemen. The Yemeni government also restricts travel to specified areas by U.S. citizens and other Westerners from time to time. Travelers should be in contact with the Embassy for up-to-date information on such restrictions.

The U.S. Embassy is located at Dhahr Himyar Zone, Sheraton Hotel District, P.O. Box 22347. The telephone number of the Consular Section is (967)(1) 755-2000, extension 2153 or 2266. The fax number is (967)(1) 303-175. The after hours emergency number is (967)(1) 755-2000 (press zero for extension) or (967) 733213509. From time to time the Embassy may temporarily close or suspend public services for security reasons. Emergency assistance to U.S. citizens during non-business hours (or when public access is restricted) is available through Embassy duty personnel.

Current information on travel and security in Yemen may be obtained from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 within the United States and Canada or, from overseas, 1-202-501-4444. U.S. citizens should consult the Consular Information Sheet for Yemen, the Middle East and North Africa Public Announcement, and the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement on the Department's Internet site at http://travel.state.gov. Up-to-date information on security conditions can also be accessed at http://usembassy.state.gov/yemen/citizen_services.html.

"Al Qaeda Internet Message Warns of Attacks in Yemen"
Tuesday, November 07, 2006


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A group believed to be Al Qaeda's wing in Yemen claimed responsibility Tuesday for attacks carried out on local oil facilities in September and vowed more strikes against the U.S. and its allies.

"Let the Americans and their allies among the worshippers of the cross and their apostate aides ... know that these operations are only the first spark and that what is coming is more severe and bitter," the Internet statement said according to a Reuters news agency translation.

The posting on a site used by Islamist militant groups could not be independently verified, but a U.S. official told FOX News the message appeared to be genuine."

Warden Message: Nepal Maoist Demands
Consular Affairs Bulletins
South / Central Asia - Nepal
7 Nov 2006

U.S. Embassy Kathmandu released the following on November 7, 2006:

The Embassy was informed on November 7, 2006 of a number of cases of Maoists approaching American residents and businesspeople in Kathmandu demanding housing for Maoist cadre. The Embassy is extremely concerned about this matter, and has already lodged a complaint with the Government of Nepal.

The Embassy urges American citizens to inform us immediately if you are approached by Maoists demanding housing for their cadre, or for any other assistance. (Please contact the Consular Section at 444-5577 ext. 4414 during working hours or the Embassy at 441-1179 ext. 0 during non-working hours -- ask for the Duty Officer. Americans can also send an email to wardenktm@state.gov.) The Embassy will keep this information confidential, but, with your permission, will raise specific cases with the Government of Nepal in hopes of stopping this behavior. (It is our experience that raising specific cases of human rights and other abuses with the authorities and with the human rights community has had an ameliorating affect on the abusive behavior.)

For further information about security conditions in Nepal, American citizens are encouraged to refer to the Consular Information Sheet for Nepal and the current Travel Warning for Nepal issued on May 31, 2006 (http://travel.state.gov). American citizens are also encouraged to refer to the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement for additional travel safety and security information. These documents are available on the homepage of the Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs at http://travel.state.gov and the American Embassy in Nepal's home page at http://nepal.usembassy.gov. The State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs maintains an information line at 1-888-407-4747 toll free or (202) 501-4444 Monday through Friday (excluding U.S. Government holidays) from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Specific information may also be obtained by calling the Embassy at 977-1-444-5577 during working hours and at 977-1-441-1179 during evenings and weekends and asking for the Embassy Duty Officer.

"If you cannot kill them, at least destroy their websites."
Religion of Peace™

Friday, October 27, 2006 T14:31:28Z
Journal Code: 3025 Language: ENGLISH Record Type: FULLTEXT
Document Type: OSC Translated Text:

Linz -- "If you cannot kill them, at least destroy their websites." This is how radical Islamists call for acts of violence against the owners of several websites in the Internet. The addressees include the Linz author Monika H., who discussed the situation of Muslims women in Austria in her award-winning study "Veiled Environments." Whereas the Islamist community expressed support for the 34-year-old ethnologist, her website was removed from the Internet on Thursday (26 October). The call for acts of violence was discovered by the Middle East Media Research Institute (Memir), which monitors the communications channels in the media of the Islamists worldwide.

The owners of two Internet forums http://www.zeit-wort.at/ also received death threats.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Fight Against Terrorism (BVT) has started to investigate the authors of the threats. Police offered protection to the Linz author, but she rejected it.
