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.

"Get ready for the Hamas state"
Jerusalem Post ^ | 5-29-05 | URI DAN

Posted on 05/29/2005 5:30:30 PM PDT by SJackson

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "But such things don't exist in a democratic regime. Do political parties in Israel, the US or France possess private armies? Of course not. Hizbullah and Hamas have tremendous arsenals of weapons with which they can enforce a reign of terror. President George W. Bush obviously knows this while waging his historic campaign to democratize corrupt Arab regimes, including those in Lebanon, Syria and Saudi Arabia.

The intelligence agencies of the US and Israel are aware of the fact stated by Dichter and the outgoing IDF chief of staff, Moshe Ya'alon, that large quantities of weapons are being constantly smuggled to the Gaza Strip. In 2004 alone about 10,000 automatic rifles and a 1,000 RPG anti-tank weapons were smuggled in.

The dimensions of the smuggling have now reached a new peak since the IDF is hesitant to carry out military operations in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians are digging additional tunnels both for smuggling weapons and for perpetrating terrorist attacks against IDF bases and the settlements that are about to be uprooted.

PRIME MINISTER Mahmoud Abbas's 20,000 armed policemen are not even trying to oppose Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. Did Bush's special envoy, General Ward, demand that Abu Mazen give him a map of the tunnels used to smuggle arms from the Sinai Desert to the Gaza Strip?"

"Hamas and the rebirth of illusion"

"Hamas and the rebirth of illusion"
By Jonathan Spyer Haaretz 27 May 2005
www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/581101.html

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "There have been reports of an imminent major shift in British policy, toward open engagement with Palestinian Islamism. In the U.S., too, a growing number of veteran advocates of a similar position are using the space provided by reports of the "Arab Spring" to advance their views. The argument now made is, well, if elections are the answer, and Islamists win elections, then Islamists must be welcomed as partners. Thus, Mark Perry, of the Washington-based Alliance for Security, describes Hamas as one of a number of movements that have made the "historic choice" to "build their societies on values we hold dear - of justice and peace, of accountability and transparency."

The trouble with this line of reasoning is that those using it are asking us to ignore the actual, openly proclaimed aims and practices of Hamas. This is a movement whose founding charter contains in its opening paragraph the following declaration: "Israel will rise and will remain until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors." This is followed, in article seven, with the exhortation that "the time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!"

The charter goes on to advocate the creation of an Islamic state, aiming "to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine." And declaring its ultimate goal as "Islam, the Prophet its model, the Koran its constitution."

The actions of the movement in support of its goals are well known. They include an ongoing commitment to the practice of terror that brought chaos to Israel's urban centers in the darkest days of the last five years. The list is long, and respect for the dead enjoins us occasionally to remind ourselves of it: The Park Hotel, Mike's Place, the Dolphinarium, Sbarro and Moment are but a few of the names to be remembered.

But Hamas, with its commitment to the imposition of "Islam as a way of life," is oppressive also to its own people. The movement has a long history of using violence to impose Islamic norms in areas where it holds sway. In particular, efforts to ensure the continued subjugation of women have characterized its activities. The recent murder of 20-year-old Yusra Azzami in Gaza by movement members is in line with this side of its activities. Azzami had been seen in the company of a young man (her fiance, it later became clear, which prompted a curious and half-hearted apology for her killing from Hamas spokesmen in the Strip)."

"Iraqi Army, U.S. forces arrest former Saddam general"
blackanthem.com ^ | May 29, 2005 | Task Force Baghdad PAO

Posted on 05/29/2005 6:16:45 PM PDT by mdittmar

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Iraqi Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 1st Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division teamed up with Task Force Baghdad Soldiers to take down a former general from the old regime in a middle of the night raid carried out in west Baghdad May 29.


The man captured was part of Saddam Hussein’s intelligence network and was also involved with the Fedayeen, a criminal secret police organization of the old regime.


He now leads the military wings of several terror cells operating in the west Baghdad neighborhood of Ghazaliyah. The terrorist groups concentrate their attacks on U.S. troops using bombs, mortars and rocket propelled grenades. Another specifically targeted individual was also seized in the same operation. Both men were taken into custody for questioning."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


EARLY MORNING RAIDS CONDUCTED IN BAGHDAD

BAGHDAD, Iraq –- Task Force Baghdad Soldiers captured 15 terror suspects in three early-morning raids conducted throughout the capital May 28.

The biggest operation netted 10 suspected terrorists in the Yusafiyah district of south Baghdad.

In east Baghdad, a tip from an Iraqi citizen prevented an attack. During a routine patrol, members of Task Force Baghdad’s 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, were approached by a farmer with information on the location of roadside bomb.

The farmer told the Soldiers he had seen terrorists emplace the bomb. The Soldiers expressed their appreciation to the farmer and secured the roadside bomb.

"This event shows that the population continues to turn away from the terrorists. I am grateful that the people care enough to provide us the tips that are helping us to defeat the terrorists. There is no question in my mind that the farmer who provided the tip today saved the lives of our Soldiers,” said Maj. Paul Reese, executive officer 3-7 Cavalry.

"Overview - Mullahs' Terrorism"
NCR-iran.org ^ | NCRI

Posted on 05/29/2005 6:58:47 PM PDT by Iran_USA

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Terrorism has been one of the primary tools of the mullahs' regime to spread fundamentalism and expand Iran's influence.

Most of the images that have come to symbolize terrorism over the past decade are tied closely to the Tehran regime's mercenaries: The 1986 bombings in Paris, the corpse of an "executed" passenger thrown from a hijacked Kuwaiti plane in Cyprus, the grim video-taped faces of hostages appealing to their governments, and huge buildings turned into rubbles after being exploded by suicide or truck bombs.

Although not new to the past two decade, terrorism has acquired qualitatively different dimensions since Khomeini and his Islamic fundamentalist government came to power in 1979. Indeed, today, Khomeini and his heirs can be considered the godfathers of terrorism."

I guess I am crashing the party here.

Someone recently contacted me about possible attacks on Portland Oregon. They had a dream.

Anything that any of you have along these lines?

[Oorang]

This is an open thread, all are welcome; no need to worry about crashing. I have not seen anything, in particular, directed at Portland, Oregon, all though it is a hot bed of muslims, ripe for the pickings, as we have already noticed with the Portland Six of a couple of years ago.

Have you read/heard anything directed toward Portland other than your friends dream? Any more details of the dream?

Well that is most curious Revel. As you said, something is most definitely up. From the posts at the link you provided, it sounds as if they are already in the process of tightening the hatch on any media coverage of this "incident". Thanks for the post. Please let us know if you find any further updates.
