Threat Matrix: July 2007
Previous Thread ^

Posted on 07/01/2007 2:42:24 PM PDT by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
US Steps Up Security Following Attack in Britain

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff made appearances on several television talk shows.

He told ABC's This Week program there is no indication of a linkage between the events in Britain and any specific attacks on the United States. "We do not have, at this point, specific, credible intelligence that there is an attack, a particular attack, focused on this country," he said.

But at the same time, speaking on CNN's Late Edition program, Chertoff said U.S. authorities are concerned about the threat of terrorism, especially in the coming months. "We have had a number of al-Qaida leaders quite publicly talking about how they want to carry out their threats against the West. So, given that and given the history that we have had over past summers, with attacks in Britain, I think we were clearly focused on this as a possibility," he said. Full story...

Me, my wife and kids are flying out Wednesday to visit my native Ohio for my younger sister’s wedding. I don’t mind telling you I’m nervous - I probably wouldn’t be if it was just me or me and my wife going. But me and my whole family? My nerves will be jangled.

Another Guyanese man held for JFK 'plot' -nabbed in St Maarten
Saturday, July 14th 2007

A Guyanese man arrested earlier this week in St Maarten is wanted in connection with the alleged plot to blow up the JFK Airport in New York, media reports said yesterday. According to Thomson Financial out of The Hague, a fifth suspect was arrested over the alleged plot to blow up fuel tanks and pipelines at New York's John F. Kennedy International airport. It quoted Dutch media reports as saying that the unnamed man was the subject of an international warrant and had been arrested on Sint Maarten, the Dutch part of the island shared with France.

Last month, a court in New York charged Trinidadian Kareem Ibrahim and three men from Guyana, former parliamentarian Abdul Kadir, Russell Defreitas, who worked at the JFK airport terminal, and Abdel Nur, with plotting between January 2006 and June 2007 to bomb the airport. Public Relations Officer of the police service in St Maarten, Yohan Lenard yesterday confirmed to Stabroek News by phone that a Guyanese is sitting in their jail in relation to terrorism. "If you are asking if we have a man sitting in our cell who is a Guyanese in relation to some form of terrorism the answer is yes.

But to say how deep or what exactly it is I am not at liberty to say because it is not the local St Martin police who are in charge of the investigation," he told this newspaper. Lenard would also not divulge the name of the suspect and further stated that it is The Netherlands' Detective Cooperation Team (RST) which is in charge of the investigation. While there are officers from the RST in St Maarten the public relations officer said that the headquarters of that law enforcement arm is in The Netherlands. It was surmised that US authorities approached The Hague with information on the man.

The Dawn of Islamic Europe
July 13, 2007

SNIP:
Many Muslims (and yes, that word is "many," not "a tiny minority") sympathize not only with the goals of the terrorists, but with their means. As Mr. Laqueur correctly notes, "26 percent of [British] Muslims interviewed felt no loyalty to Britain; 40 percent opted for introducing the laws of sharia in certain parts of Britain … 13 percent justified terrorist attacks Al Qaeda style and 47% supported suicide attacks such as in Israel."

Egypt arrests group of suspected terrorists
July 14, 2007

CAIRO — Authorities have arrested 35 men described as members of an al-Qaeda inspired group that was planning to carry out terrorist attacks in Egypt, police said Saturday.

The suspects, all of whom are Egyptian, were secretly arrested in April and are currently being investigated by the State Security Court, said a police official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

The men are suspected of joining a radical group that aimed to topple the Egyptian regime and carry out terrorist attacks financed by a militant organization in Iraq affiliated with al-Qaeda, he added. They were captured in two groups, one in the country's northern Qalyoubiya province and the other in the southern Beni Suef province, the official said.

Police arrested the suspects after receiving a tip that the group was promoting its goals through its website, but the leader of the group fled to a neighboring country before the operation, according to the official.

Not to worry JJ. I had 3 flights this past week, 3 more next week. Security seems tighter, and more TSA folks are at the checkpoints. I went through the infamous Boston Logan this week and probably had the closest scrutiny I have ever had through there. At Philly they actually checked boarding passes four times (but O’Hare is STILL only 2 checks of the boarding pass, and one of those is when you board). A definitely more police presence outside of every airport I went through. At O’Hare they are requiring any cabbies driving vans to have their back hatch up before entering the terminal area. So all in all things seem to have tightened up a few notches.

I’ve been a daily lurker since 2004, but I only rarely post. I’ve recently gone from a full-time position with a long and wretched commute to a part-time job with no commute so I have more time these days.

Thank you for all of the information that cannot be gleaned anywhere else.

The environment shown is similar to that on releases made before the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, in which bin Laden is seen in the company of some of the hijackers, Nasr said. Some of the backdrops also resemble those shown in videos when the U.S. attacks against the Taliban in Afghanistan began not long after the 9/11 attacks, she added

Pre 9/11 style footage, triple repetition of a phrase. However, old OBL footage, hmmmmm

As Teen Girl Awaits Death, Saudi Surge in Beheadings Could Set Record High
www.foxnews.com ^ | 7/14/07 | Staff

Posted on 07/14/2007 8:53:33 PM PDT by Red Badger

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Rizana Nafeek, a 19-year old housemaid from Sri Lanka, is on death row because the baby in her care died while she was bottle-feeding him. If her appeal is turned down, she will taken to a public square to be publicly beheaded.... “The Saudi authorities are flouting an international prohibition on the execution of child offenders by even imposing a death sentence on a defendant who was reportedly 17 at the time of the alleged crime,” she said. Nafeek arrived in the kingdom on May 4, 2005 to work as a housemaid. She was given the additional duty of looking after the baby boy, a job the Sri Lankan Embassy says she was not trained to do. The embassy says the infant died on May 22 while she was bottle-feeding him. Nafeek allegedly confessed, according to the statement, but then recanted, saying her admission was obtained under duress. The Asian Human Rights Commission, an independent Hong Kong-based body of jurists and human rights activists, said it was an accident.

Newly released bin Laden video calls for martyrdom

Thanks, Oorang.

I heard this about this on the radio at work this afternoon. I smiled to myself *knowing* Laura must have snagged another tape out from under the jihadis prior to their planned release. Great job, Laura!

Laura, is there a way to know when this would have been slated for release? My guess would be that the tape was to be disseminated on either 7/19 or 7/21.

“Abu Bakr” (he was the “second of the two” in the cave, Mohammed being the first). . . .”cave” (nature of the attack) . . . “witness/martyr”

Did you see today's video? The beginning of the clip from Laura's site takes the video viewer into a cave.

Bin Laden + 2 on first flash pic

4 "shahids" on second flash pic

4 "shahids" on 3rd flash pic

Total of 11 different individuals.

2 groups of 4 = 4....4

Again running in to the 4-4 warnings of the 'cave of darkness'.
