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!

Home grown Islamists may hit US: FBI chief
Full Story

WASHINGTON -- The United States could be attacked by "home grown" Islamist terror groups, the FBI's chief has warned.

FBI Director Robert Mueller told the London Financial Times newspaper in an interview published Thursday that the United States could face attacks from "home-grown terrorism" very similar to the July 7 bombings in London that killed 52 people and wounded another 700, Mueller said.

When asked if the United States could face such attacks from "home-grown groups", Mueller answered emphatically: "Absolutely, it could," the Financial Times said.

Maybe I'm missing it, but I can not find such a bill introduced. No bill name or number mentioned?

I'm really not liking the facts coming out of the OU bombing. This WAS an attempted homicide bombing on US soil. Rest assured there will be more attempts. Due to the GREED of folks like the OU president and the MSM, the next attack could be successful and kill 1,000s.

Worried about the 8th. It's a Saturday - college games.

I'll be at my buddy's cabin for the annual camping party. Think I'll be taking a few extra weapons and LOTS more ammo in case I can't make it back home. If anything goes down I'll be in my safe zone already.

Folks, keep your 3 day kits with you AT ALL TIMES. Be aware of what's happening around you. If something doesn't seem right or you witness something suspicious, get out of the area and alert the authorities.

As ExSoldier has correctly told us, we cannot remain at RED ALERT indefinitely, but NOW is the time to be at RED.

They just played another public service announcement urging people to be prepared for disasters - natural or terrorist related.

I'll be greatly impressed if the feds come out in the next day or so with the rest of what is now clearly a Norman, OK jihadi cell, and then release details. If this is just a cover-up, though, with the school and the media only concerned about the blasted football season, I'm going to be mightily pi$$ed.

Will this help:

Sen. John Cornyn, R-TX, has introduced legislation to make grants of U.S. tax dollars for roads, telecommunications facilities, and education programs in Mexico.

The bill, S. 2941, parallels plans developed by the influential Council on Foreign Relations to integrate the populations and economies of the two countries with Canada in a "North American Community."

Renewed calls for access to terror kingpin sparkle in Indonesia
2005-10-05

The latest Bali bombings have triggered new calls for Washington to give Indonesian investigators access to detained Southeast Asian terror mastermind Hambali - a Muslim cleric once dubbed Osama bin Laden's point man in the region.

Washington's refusal, a long-standing irritant between the two nations, comes as the U.S. tries to boost anti-terror cooperation with Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation.

"I think the time has now come for the United States to give full access to the Indonesian police so they can interrogate Hambali," Theo Sambuaga, chairman of Parliament's political and security commission said.

The United States, in its turn, points out that giving Indonesian investigators access to Hambali, also known as Riduan Isamuddin, could compromise their own investigation of him.

The probe reportedly involves alleged links to two of the Sept. 11 hijackers and a plan to recruit new pilots for another wave of suicide hijackings in the United States.

Hambali, 41-year-old Indonesian citizen arrested in 2003 in Thailand, is also accused of being the operations chief of al-Qaida-linked Jemaah Islamiyah, the group emerging as the chief suspect in Saturday's strikes on Bali that killed 22 people, including three suicide bombers.

The Southeast Asian Jemaah Islamiyah network is accused in several other deadly bombings and failed plots in the region, including the Oct. 12, 2002 bombings on Bali that killed 202 people, most of them foreign tourists.

Analysts said Hambali's testimony could have resulted in stronger prosecution cases against militants, and given Indonesian investigators a better general overview of how Jemaah Islamiyah operates.

Hambali was captured two years ago in the ancient Thai temple city of Ayutthaya, 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of Bangkok, by Thai forces and the CIA. He was handed over to U.S. authorities three days later and flown to an undisclosed location for interrogation.

Malaysia and the Philippines have also demanded access to Hambali.

A Malaysian security official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed Tuesday that the country had not been given access to Hambali - something he said would have enabled it "to deepen our understanding on the networking of the Jemaah Islamiyah in Malaysia."

Manila has said it wants to put Hambali on trial for his alleged involvement in deadly bombings there, and expects him to provide information on terror plots, personalities and financing in Southeast Asia, the AP reports.

OPINION-OBSERVATION: Thanks MamaDearest for that article on Hispanic Women.

I noticed the article was written and/or issed from Cairo.
Well, I'm sure the Egypians know a lot about Mexican culture.

Writing Arabic will sure help out all those very poor village people.

Well then again, maybe not.
