Threat Matrix: September 2008

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Critical Threats: Blank When None
How The West Was Won

The rapid and unexpected decline of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq was officially recognized this week, when Maj. Gen. John Kelly, commanding the Marine Expeditionary Force, turned operational control of Anbar Province over to the Iraqi army and police.

Anbar, a vast expanse of desert the size of North Carolina, had been the stronghold of the Sunni insurgency. For years, foreign fighters loyal to al-Qaida had sneaked across Iraq's northwestern border with Syria, into Anbar and down a "rat line" of safe houses in Haditha, Ramadi and Hit.

From Fallujah, the arch terrorist Zarqawi dispatched suicide bombers to murder hundreds of Shiites in Baghdad. So fearsome were the al-Qaida leaders in Iraq that by 2005 they had taken control or intimidated Sunni resistance cells 10 times their size. Read More

“”SHEMA YISRAEL””

COMMENTARY SNIPPET: “In the course of a rather free-flowing and largely public discussion with Tim Stevens about issues related to Internet use by jihadis and processes of recruitment and radicalization, I let loose with a pretty bleak, albeit poetic, assessment of the Internet and information technology generally.

This led Tim to wonder if my view of things was perhaps the result of the many death threats I have received.

The short answer is “no.”

My own experience has been quite positive. While death threats are an annoyance, they also have the effect of validating the worth of the work I do.”

“Spies take war on terror into cyberspace
New approach tackles ‘severe threat’ of attacks by funding monitoring network”
By Kim Sengupta
Friday, 3 October 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Britain’s security agencies are fighting a covert war in cyberspace against extremist Islamist internet sites as part of a new anti-terrorist strategy, senior Whitehall officials have revealed.

As well running its own sites, the Government gives material support to groups that monitor and combat jihadist material on the web in an attempt to prevent indoctrination of young Muslims. The scheme is part of measures being introduced at a time when the threat level is described as being “at the severe end of severe”, with, officials say, extremist groups determinedly attempting new attacks.”

Al Qaeda planning to bomb Atlantis - report

The Atlantis hotel’s grand opening party is at the centre of a terrorism scare after British spies uncovered plans to target the lavish event in Dubai, to be attended by 2,000 VIPs.



There are fears Al-Qaeda is planning to bomb the event on Nov. 20 because it is seen by Islamic extremists as a symbol of decadence in a Muslim country, according to the UK's Sky News television.

Kevlar containers could thwart suitcase bombs

Snippets: The government is currently considering new luggage containers for airplanes made of reinforced Kevlar, which could protect passenger jets from small suitcase bombs that might go undetected by luggage scanners.

Many airlines are resisting the idea, primarily because the government hasn't offered any financial assistance to institute the program. The containers are heavy (265 pounds) and expensive ($18,000). The airlines are already struggling to stay afloat and can't afford to outfit much of their fleet of aircraft with these containers. Additionally, the weight of the containers reduces the amount of cargo and passengers a plane can carry, further reducing revenue.
