Threat Matrix: September 2007
Previous Thread ^

Posted on 09/01/2007 6:24:54 PM PDT by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
The Birth of al Qaedastan

In the year 2016, the world may find itself gloomily marking September 6 as the tenth anniversary of the creation of the Islamic Emirate of Waziristan. The Emirate received de facto recognition when the Taliban used the name on the ceasefire agreement they signed with Pakistan on that day in 2006. If things go terribly wrong in the coming decade, they could come to rule a mountainous fragment of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The Emirate would be a nightmare state: Osama bin Laden as sultan, Ayman al Zawahiri as vizier, and Mullah Omar the spiritual leader. An economy built on smuggling and heroin. Primary export: terrorism. Welcome to ‘Al Qaedastan’.

Analysts say the rise of a terrorist state straddling the rugged area between Pakistan and Afghanistan is now viable. The reason is a number of troubling trends. One, the revival of a Taliban firmly in the control of Al Qaeda. Two, the seeming inability of either Kabul or Islamabad to defeat the new threat militarily. Three, and the most striking, the Taliban’s systematic supplanting of the traditional tribal leadership in the area. Full story...

For those that have seen the tape I ask you look again but not at Bin Ladin but the left side of the screen with the lights blinking on and off. I just saw a pretty good quality of the video and the lights caught my attention they are going the whole time he is talking. I am now trying to figure out what the lights represent they are green and orange lights. If anyone can figure out what the object is that is giving off the lights please let me know. They are in round and square boxes in obling like tubes

I have watched the one from Laura Mansfield and the one from Casey in both OBL is just an image on the screen as you approach the 2 minute mark. Both films did the same the background flucuates and undisclosed pictures can be seen going through the backgroung but OBL”s lips stop moving and it is just his audio voice at that point.

US deplores suicide attacks in Algeria
http://www.philstar.com/index.php?News%20Flash&p=54&type=2&sec=91&aid=200709098

Sunday, September 9, 2007 09:25 AM

HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii (AFP) - The White House on Saturday denounced two suicide bomb attacks in Algeria and called them a reminder of the threat posed by global extremism.

“We deplore the vicous attacks in Algeria. The attacks are another reminder of the terrorist threat faced by freedom-loving people around the world,” spokesman Scott Stanzel said.
Stanzel spoke after US President George W. Bush stopped at this base on his way to Washington from an Asia Pacific summit in Australia.

Algeria was rocked by its second suicide bomb attack in three days on Saturday when a blast ripped through a naval barracks and killing at least 30 people, for which an Al-Qaeda offshoot later claimed responsibility.

The north African branch of Osama bin Laden’s group claimed responsibility for that attack and Thursday’s apparent assassination attempt on President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in the eastern city of Batna, Al-Jazeera television reported Sunday citing a statement posted on the Internet from the group.

Analysts Dismiss Suspicious “New 9/11” Trades
Experts track down nature of transactions but concede they represent biggest gamble since last September

Friday, August 31, 2007

Market analysts from TheStreet.com have dismissed concerns about suspicious trades that seemed to indicate a major terror attack or other catastrophe was around the corner, leading to a stock market crash, but still concede that the transactions outstrip anything seen since last September.

As we reported on Monday, a mystery trader risks losing around $1 billion dollars after placing 245,000 put options on the Dow Jones Eurostoxx 50 index, leading many analysts to speculate that a stock market crash preceded by a new 9/11 style attack could take place within the next month.

I ‘heard’ that the beard is also grown so he could blend in easier in a more urban environment, in Pakistan & out of the caves

Which I always go back to TM’s inception, of him dying in the belly of the beast, so maybe he is in NYC

What gets me is I heard this story on the radio the nite before it was everywhere else. They said it was NOT UBL and the tape was outdated!

Then it becomes the opposite hours later! What’s up with that?
