The Threat Matrix

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

Ramadan terror concerns?
Full Story

ATLANTA (CNN) -- As more than one billion Muslims prepare to celebrate Ramadan, terror experts are mixed about whether the holy month is a tool for recruiting terrorists.

Some terrorism experts and Islamic scholars say Ramadan gives extremists an opportunity to enlist new recruits.

"It's a time which can be exploited by radical clerics to motivate individuals into taking action on the basis they are somehow serving their religion," says terror expert M.J. Gohel.

And analysts see another temptation for terrorists: exploiting the Battle of Badr, a symbolic date in Muslim history, which falls near the U.S. presidential election.

Thanks for "transporting" us to Thread Twenty. Before you know it, we'll be at the legal one (21). You did, however, kind of lead me on with your heading: Chechen Terrorists Probed. I got excited thinking the probes were the electric kind, but thats not what you meant at all (silly me).

RUSSIA
Moscow Children to Wear Dog Tags
from BBC News on Tuesday, October 12, 2004
Article ID: D154924

Moscow schoolchildren will soon have to wear military-style dog tags and carry special "passports" as part of a security drive in the wake of Beslan.

The Russian capital is also beefing up protection of its schools against intruders to prevent any terror attacks like the Beslan mass hostage-taking.

"Before the New Year most schools will have these passports," a senior Moscow city official told BBC News Online.

Yuri Popov said the metal dog tags were already being mass-produced.

Vital information

More than 330 schoolchildren, teachers and parents died when the hostage-taking in the North Ossetian town of Beslan ended in a bloodbath.

Dozens of victims remain unidentified more than a month after the tragedy.

The remains of the Beslan school are to be destroyed Mr Popov, head of the Moscow city assembly's security and legislation committee, said children would wear the dog tags round their necks and carry the passports in their pockets, which would bear their fingerprints and other personal data.

The passport will give the child's name, address, telephone number, blood group and details of any allergies to medicines, he said.

It will also include advice on how to act in the event of an emergency, such as a terrorist attack.

"These measures can be introduced under the city's programme for civil defence," Mr Popov said.

"We asked teachers, school governors, and they conducted surveys. Most were in favour," he said.

The city authorities have been working on ways to improve school security since November, he added.

Extra security

The city authorities want to make sure that the private security firms guarding school premises carry out proper training, Mr Popov said.

Guards will not be armed - their role will be to alert police if they spot something suspicious, he said.

New legislation is required "to clearly define the status of school premises - who is allowed in, who is not," he explained.

Moscow has about 1,500 schools and 3,000 kindergartens.

Russian lawmakers are currently reviewing all of the country's anti-terror laws, Mr Popov said.

Installing alarm systems in all Moscow schools will cost about 200m rubles ($7m) and erecting security fences around the buildings will cost another 600m rubles ($20.5m), he said.
