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.

YOU be the judge and get informed!

Details show extent of terror plot against U.S.
Full Story

We now know more about an alleged attack that triggered an increased national threat level last summer.

That's when U.S. officials said they had uncovered a plot targeting financial institutions. The plot involved bombs, banks and British nationals.

The detail was startling, the targets enormous. They included financial buildings in Washington, New York and New Jersey.

FEDS SAY MEN ASKED TO ENTER COCKPIT ON FLIGHT TO JFK

Updated: 5:34 pm EDT April 15, 2005

NEW YORK -- Two men aboard a Northwest Airlink flight from Detroit to New York were arrested Friday after one of them asked to see the cockpit and refused to sit down, federal authorities said.

They were refused entry and the flight landed safely at JFK, where the FBI arrested them.

Law enforcement officials say the two men on Northwest commuter flight 3741 from Detroit to JFK are citizens of the Republic of Georgia. They were still being questioned Friday afternoon at the airport’s Terminal 4.

Officials emphasize that early reports of an altercation appear to be untrue, that the two men's actions appear to have been more of annoyance than anything else and "drinking may have been involved."

Sometime during the flight, one or both men got up and told a flight attendant they wanted to get into the cockpit. They were told that was not permitted.

Then they asked if their luggage could be brought up from the hold. That request was denied as well and they were asked to return to their seats, which they did.

Not long thereafter, one of them got up and started wandering around the plane and flight attendants again asked him to remain seated. The pilot, out of caution, declared an in-flight emergency and alerted JFK. The two men were detained on arrival and questioned.

As of now, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn is uncertain of whether it will charge the two with interfering with a flight crew. Even if federal charges are not brought, say law enforcement officials, the Queens district attorney could press lesser, state charges.

The Homeland Security Department "is monitoring the ongoing investigation," spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said.

Memphis-based Pinnacle Airlines, which operated the flight under the Northwest Airlink name, said the 50-seat jet was full, with two pilots and a flight attendant.

Man Accused Of Putting Propane Tank In Path Of Train

POSTED: 6:43 pm EDT April 15, 2005

NEWARK, N.J. -- A 19-year-old man was jailed Friday, accused of placing a propane tank in the path of a commuter train.

The NJ Transit train struck the tank about 10:45 p.m. April 8 in Matawan, damaging the undercarriage and disrupting service on the North Jersey Coast Line for more than two hours, the agency said. No injuries were reported among the 100 passengers, the agency said.

There was no explosion or fire, but police and firefighters from Old Bridge and Aberdeen responded, NJ Transit said.

The train was heading toward Long Branch from New York when it struck the tank, which can hold up to 100 pounds of the flammable gas, between the South Amboy and Aberdeen-Matawan stations.

Authorities are still trying to determine if it contained gas at the time it was struck, since the 31/2-foot tall tank was badly damaged, NJ Transit spokesman Janet Hines said.

NJ Transit police arrested Edward Kolbinski at his Sayreville home on Thursday. He was held at the Middlesex County Jail on $100,000 bail.

Police did not disclose what led them to Kolbinski.

He was charged with attempted aggravated assault, criminal mischief, criminal trespass, interference with transportation and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

Authorities did not know whether he had obtained a lawyer, and no listing for Kolbinski was found in Sayreville.

Authorities free 1 million aliens amid proceedings
Washington Times via World Peace Herald ^ | 4/15/2005 | Stephen Dinan

One million people facing immigration procedings have been released into the general population, the government's chief of detention and removal told the Senate yesterday, prompting some Republicans to say the Bush administration is "not serious" about the problem.

"We have a million individuals who are in some phase of immigration proceedings released," said Victor X. Cerda, the acting director of detention and removal operations for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (ICE)

He said of those people, 465,000 are fugitive aliens who have been ordered deported. About 80,000 of those are criminal aliens who have committed an offense in addition to immigration violations, but he couldn't provide an exact number.

LOL.
I'm picturing a Lily Tomlin type CAIR phone operator whose computer spits out bells and whistles when the words "middle" and "eastern" pop up in google alerts.

Lily then, quickly ~snort~ calls the ACLU ~snort~ and the articles are cleansed of their ~snort~ descriptions.

(Course, you're probably too young to remember what I'm envisioning. LOL)

Tomorrow in history - April 16

On April 16, 1947, the French ship Grandcamp blew up at the harbor in Texas City, Texas; another ship, the Highflyer, exploded the following day. The blasts and resulting fires killed 576 people.

(We've talked about this explosion on TM before when the BASF guard was shot in Freeport)


2004 One year ago: Videotape broadcast on the Arab TV station Al-Jazeera showed Army Pvt. 1st Class Keith M. Maupin, abducted during an attack on a fuel truck convoy near Baghdad a week earlier. (Arab television reported June 29, 2004, that Maupin had been killed; he is listed as missing by the U.S. military.)

Iraq Suicide Bombers Are Mostly Foreigners, Official Says
By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service



WASHINGTON, April 15, 2005 – Most of the people committing suicide bombings in Iraq today are foreigners, not Iraqis, a senior Multinational Force Iraq official told reporters at an April 14 meeting with reporters in Baghdad.

“The sense is that many of the suicide bombers are in fact foreign jihadists, not Iraqis, for the most part,” the official said, speaking to reporters on background.

“The ones that we’ve gotten our hands on are certainly foreigners,” he pointed out.

Foreign insurgents operating in Iraq seem to be coming from about 25 countries, the official noted. The majority, he observed, are from Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran.

However, U.S. military analysts in Iraq “don’t see that foreign fighters have become a significant force in the insurgency,” the official noted. Out of about 10,000 detainees now being held in Iraq, only “357, 358, something like that” are non-Iraqis.

The official also cited reports that say Iraqi cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s anti-American militia, the so-called Mahdi Army, is undergoing “some regeneration.” However, the official added, Sadr’s Baghdad-based group, which had been blamed for several atrocities, had “lost a lot of public support” since the Jan. 30 Iraqi elections.

The official declined to comment on the idea of any possible amnesty program for former insurgents. “That will obviously be a government of Iraq decision,” the official said.

I'm not surprised that there was no description in the original article - can't single out ME men now can we. Good catch Velveeta. I'm sure they'll just explain this away like all the other similar incidents......probably some guy got drunk..... not terror related......the usual drill.
