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.

Expert: Al-Qaida Has Presence In South Florida
Full Story

MIRAMAR, Fla. -- Despite the massive federal, state and local law enforcement effort to stop terrorists from entering the United States, there is no strong evidence of how well it is working.

Many experts are concerned that there are plenty of terrorists or sympathizers already in the country who have been here for years. Some are even citizens.

The Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers were the first wave and now the increasing number of arrests seems to signal a second wave of terrorism in South Florida.

Statement by President Bush on the Bombings in London



STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT BUSH ON THE BOMBINGS IN LONDON

Gleneagles Hotel Auchterarder, Scotland

1:30 P.M. (Local)

PRESIDENT BUSH: I spent some time recently with the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, and had an opportunity to express our heartfelt condolences to the people of London, people who lost lives. I appreciate Prime Minister Blair's steadfast determination and his strength. He's on his way now to London here from the G8 to speak directly to the people of London. He'll carry a message of solidarity with him.

This morning I have been in contact with our Homeland Security folks. I instructed them to be in touch with local and state officials about the facts of what took place here and in London, and to be extra vigilant, as our folks start heading to work.

The contrast between what we've seen on the TV screens here, what's taken place in London and what's taking place here is incredibly vivid to me. On the one hand, we have people here who are working to alleviate poverty, to help rid the world of the pandemic of AIDS, working on ways to have a clean environment. And on the other hand, you've got people killing innocent people. And the contract couldn't be clearer between the intentions and the hearts of those of us who care deeply about human rights and human liberty, and those who kill -- those who have got such evil in their heart that they will take the lives of innocent folks.

The war on terror goes on. I was most impressed by the resolve of all the leaders in the room. Their resolve is as strong as my resolve. And that is we will not yield to these people, will not yield to the terrorists. We will find them, we will bring them to justice, and at the same time, we will spread an ideology of hope and compassion that will overwhelm their ideology of hate.

Thank you very much.

END 1:32 P.M. (Local)

I can't believe how quickly you pull up those links. Thanks for all your hard work here.

FRANCE today raised its anti-terror alert to red, the second-highest rating, ....Scarlet is the highest warning level...

Sheesh.... I nearly spit coffee on the keyboard...Is this something from The Onion? Do they really have red and scarlet in their terror levels?

[freeperfromnj]

09+11+01=21 not 19

7/7/05 = 19

[Cindy]

Smiling...

[freeperfromnj]

I just realized - you're right. If you add the year it doesn't jive.

[Cindy]

Thank you.
I appreciate that.
So does my husband.

I haven't had donuts in 3 or more years...I am going to have at least 2 this morning. French twists with coffee sounds good.

What a great husband.

NYC steps up transit security
Newsday.com ^ | July 7, 2005

Posted on 07/07/2005 5:52:11 AM PDT by AmericanMade1776

New New York City was on heightened alert Thursday morning following a series of apparent terrorist attacks on London's public transit system.

Increased police coverage of subways, buses and transit stations was ordered throughout the city.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly was meeting with police officials and executed other security plans, a law enforcement source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press.

"We cannot live in fear. The greatest way to deter terrorism is to continue with our way of life," Gov. George Pataki said on WNYW-Fox 5 News. "Let the police deal with security and be alert.

Report any suspicions but continue to enjoy the greatest society the world ever created."

An executive order signed by Pataki allows Connecticut and New Jersey law enforcers to ride on New York mass transit, including Long Island Rail Road, Metro-North and PATH trains, said Pataki spokesman Dave Catalfano.

Add my thanks as well.
It was a heck of way to wake up this morning - my FI woke me from a dead sleep at 5 am because he knew I would want to know what was going on.
I know it's silly but I can't stop remembering 'it starts in London'

"U.S. Urges Vigilance for Transit Systems"

Associated Press Writer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON (AP) - The Homeland Security Department asked authorities in major cities Thursday for heightened vigilance of transportation systems after a series of explosions on London transit systems.

President Bush, in Scotland for a meeting of the Group of Eight leaders, conferred in a secure video conference with national security and homeland security officials in Washington.

"I instructed them to be in touch with local and state officials about the facts of what took place here in London," Bush told reporters from a summit of world leaders here. Bush said he urged caution "as our folks start heading to work."

In New York, Washington and several other major cities, local authorities heightened security in transit systems."

London Calling...
Multiple bombs targeting subways and one bus."



Israel media says there's a claim of responsibility from "Al Qaida in Europe" (whoever that is).

Question now is: was London the only target?

Stay tuned...

Update: claim was posted on the Qal3ah site of Sa'ad Al Fagih. See screen shot from spiegel.de:



Claim includes threat to Italy and Denmark next.

One of the local NYC radio talk show hosts mentioned the London Imam who was recently imprisoned and had his mosque shut down. He thinks that is as good a place as any to start the investigation.

Does anyone recall when the 'events will start in London' post was made? I am interested in going back to read that.
