Iran seeks swap of Brits for suicide attackers
Report says 40 Revolutionary Guard 'volunteers' held by UK
Iran apprehended British military personnel and Navy vessels earlier this week in order to secure release of 40 "suicide operations volunteers" held by the UK, according to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard source.
The source told the London Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat that the British Army command in Iraq received the demand from the Revolutionary Guard, reported the Middle East Media Research Institute.
According to the source, the content of the message was very simple: "Release our comrades, whom you are holding, and we will release your soldiers."
We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm
The Threat Matrix would like to welcome a Champion for the cause on the WOT:

Laurie Roth is "Annie Oakley of the Airwaves"

A valuable ally in our fight against terrorism
At this time I would like to announce we will be losing Jill's site as of July and this saddens many of us. I want to thank her for holding the fight as long as she could and we hope she will continue to contribute to Threat Matrix!.
You try to thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. It is not in our nature to be the "Game"

FIGHTING TERRORISM ON OUR OWN SINCE NOVEMBER 3, 2004
PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES OF POSTING ETIQUETTE:
These guidelines are intended to help maintain a useful amount of order in a large site like this and to promote better posting. They may be revised without notice. Users of Free Republic should also understand that this is a privately owned, not-for-profit site and that they are guests here. The owner reserves the right to revoke posting privileges and, when necessary, to permanently ban individuals.
Do lead by example - Nothing improves a forum more than posters who reason sharply, write well, and have some perspective about it all. Be one of them.
Do preview - Preview twice, post once. And, ahem, close your HTML tags before you hit the reply button.
(Do keep it clean - A bruise or two between Freepers is tolerable, but refrain from abusive attacks, engaging in senseless flame wars, and using profane language. Considering the range of topics we discuss, it's hard to be a family site, but that's what we aim for when at all possible.
Do "take it to the Alley" - The Alley is a public chat room. A link to it is provided on the latest posts page. Invite people there if you want to talk things over or settle a score, so to speak, off site.
Do use common sense - If you read a post that sounds too good or strange to be true, it probably is.
Do stay on topic - If you are going to post an article, make sure you are placing it in the correct topic area.
Do include the original title - When you post an article, be sure to include the original title where appropriate. This helps users find the article and lessens the chance of a double post.
Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.
Don't jump threads - If you get involved in an argument in one thread, it's considered poor manners to restart the previous argument in the middle of an unrelated thread.
Don't spam - Post your message once. If you are not sure if it has posted, check the latest posts page.
Don't violate poster privacy - Don't reveal online another poster's phone number, address, or other information that the person hasn't already made public for everyone on Free Republic. If you are asked for a friend's email address, the best advice usually is to forward the request to the friend. He or she can then decide whether to respond.
Don't play games - Don't represent yourself as another person, create or use another screen name to avoid a revocation of posting privileges, misrepresent the site or your role in it, and don't misattribute a contribution you've made. (Parody exceptions would apply to the latter, of course, but it should be clear what you are doing.)
Don't be a whiner - If you really, really find Free Republic not to your liking, let the webmaster know directly (jimrob@psnw.com), learn to live with it, or move along.
Thank you for opening up Threat Matrix, Thread 11 JP.

This is strange. Just found this on Jill's site and it matches the basic setup for the Arabic message that is on IH, but it does not mention NUKE anywhere.

From your post:
"I won't post to a thread where people openly advocate terrorism, others silently approve, and the rest simply say nothing."
Look, I guess things must read differently, to me, anyway. I don't see any advocation of terrorism. I see dedicated, sincere people trying to help out, locate things, connect patterns, ferret out information. SOME of the information uncovered can have the tendency to ruffle feathers. In fact, some of it can make even the meekest of us, very angry. It passes, the anger, and things resume.
If the REAL terrorist succeed in their plans, they've promised to hit us so hard, we'll be too busy burying our dead to worry about anything else. Maybe you'll find some comfort in that we might not be able to fight back or harm any of the evil doers, other than with what is left of our military.
I read their words. I listen to their statements of intent. I know where they say their heart is. I know where my heart is. There is NOTHING I won't do to protect myself and my family against those who want to come into MY Country and do me harm. If, in your opinion, that makes me as bad as them, then so be it. And, yes, I firmly believe, based on the Jihad statements I've read, the pictures I've seen, what I've seen of their governments and belief systems, there is very much, an US and THEM.

I posted this yesterday, Velveeta, to the Prayer Thread for the Korean, started by AmericanInTokyo.
Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that You have heard our prayers on behalf of Kim, yet the terrorists did not relent. Comfort his family and friends, and his nation, for horror has come into their midst. May it be as we have heard ... that this young man was a Christian ... that we may rejoice through our tears that he is in the presence of his Lord.
Thank You that no matter the circumstance, Your good and perfect will prevails, and that all things work together for good for those who love the Lord. We do not minimize Kim's suffering or his sacrifice, for he is shown to the world as an innocent one slaughtered. Direct the response of the nations, for this evil must be totally destroyed. Open the eyes of those who have refused to look upon this in any meaningful way ... be our Shield and Defender as we go forth, for the enemy must be slain, else the people perish. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
I read once the testimony of one man who prayed with another, and in their minutes of prayer, one prayed just one word, once, in all that time ..."God." The other said that he never was in the presence of such powerful communication with God, so deep was that fellowship and the utterance of the Name of the object of prayer ..."God." Sometimes silent supplication, brought to the Throne of Grace by the Power of the Holy Spirit, conveys a heavenly language that we cannot speak. Perhaps this is one of those times ... so great is the need that we cannot speak, yet God can write the words.

Not mentioned on the BBC: Some of the views of Sheikh Abdur-Rahman Al-Sudais. In his own words: "In the name of Allah," the Jews must be "annihilated." They are "the scum of the human race, the rats of the world
the murderers of the prophets, and the offspring of apes and pigs."

I agree with you. Public warning IS lacking and subsequently there are less eyes to report unusual incidents.
Those of us "in the know" can effect change here. How do we convince the Department of Homeland Security to UP the awareness?

U.S. WARNS THAT IT COULD ABANDON SAUDI OIL
WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has sent a tough message to Saudi Arabia that did not rule out the abandoning of the kingdom's oil sector.
U.S. officials said the Bush administration has warned that Americans would not stay in Saudi Arabia unless the kingdom takes significant steps to protect them. The officials said the warning came in wake of the Al Qaida execution of Lockheed Martin engineer Paul Johnson on June
18.
Fewer than 30,000 Americans were estimated to live in Saudi Arabia, with many of them working in the defense and oil sectors. More than 5,000 Americans were said to have left the kingdom over the last year and many more were said to planning to leave for the summer.
"It could have an effect [on the Saudi oil industry]," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said. "Saudi authorities, as commendable as their overall effort is, have not yet been able to stop the terrorists to the point that everybody doesn't have to worry anymore."

Shooting in Detroit leaves nine wounded at Freedom Festival fireworks
(Detroit-AP, June 24, 2004, 7:21 a.m.) A gunman opened fire into a crowd that had gathered downtown to watch the International Freedom Festival fireworks display, wounding nine people and forcing hundreds to scatter.
Chief Ella Bully-Cummings said Thursday morning that one of the victims, a 22-year-old man, remained in critical condition at a local hospital with a bullet wound to the heart following the Wednesday night shooting.(snip)
