Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - September 2006

[nwctwx]

Five Years Later, We're Still Not Safe
-Full Story-

In the five years since terrorists flew hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Americans have accepted inconvenience, sacrificed personal liberties and paid billions of dollars for a security clampdown that touches virtually every aspect of their lives.

And we're still not safe.

A close examination of the federal government's homeland security effort shows that there have been major accomplishments since the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. But it also reveals how vulnerable the nation remains to catastrophe.

Excellent link and story- everyone should read it, and remember. Coming here, unless we are very hard, and very, very lucky.

A snippet from my files:

Beslan: Truther edition

Sep 1, 2006 4:36 PM by Allahpundit

4 Comments » | 4 Trackbacks  Terror at Beslan? I wrote a review of it, but I’m afraid I cannot really do the book justice. Right now, we are not up to the challenge because most Americans are in blissful ignorance of it -- courtesy of the Drive-by Media... 1 September 2004, Beslan  ...not a word from the MSM about this being the second anniversary of Beslan... But, we hear for a full week about the fuc*in' Katrina anniversary and how it and everything about it since is President Bush's fault.

It was said that Beslan was a dry run in anticipation of coordinated attacks to be planned for the US.

I just purchased a book by John Giduck
"Terror at Beslan, A Russian Tragedy With Lessons for American Schools"

[ExSoldier]

Wow, what a great presentation for this the anniversary month of the tragedy. It makes me both humble and proud. Kudos!

Al-Qaeda's #2 Issues New Video, Is Joined by an American

al-Qaida's Deputy Issues New Videotape

Al-Qaida's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri issued a new videotape Saturday along with a man identified as an American member of the terror network, inviting Americans to convert to Islam.

The 41-minute video, posted on an Islamic militant Web site, had footage of al-Zawahri and a man the video identified as Adam Yehiye Gadahn, an American who the FBI believes attended al-Qaida training camps in Pakistan and served as an al-Qaida translator.

American Appears In Qaeda Video

Al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri issued a new videotape Saturday along with a man identified as an American member of the terror network, inviting Americans to convert to Islam.

The 41-minute video, posted on an Islamic militant Web site, had footage of al-Zawahri and a man the video identified as Adam Yehiye Gadahn, who has appeared in past al Qaeda videos with the nom de guerre of Azzam al-Amriki.

"To the American people and the people of the West in general ... God sent his Prophet Muhammad with guidance and the religion of truth ... and sent him as a herald," al-Zawahiri said.

Gadahn and al-Zawahiri did not appear together in the footage.

It was the second time Gadahn has appeared in the same video with al-Zawahri. In a July 7 video marking the one-year anniversary of bombings against the London transit system, Gadahn said no Muslim should "shed tears" for Westerners killed by al Qaeda attacks.

"We invite all Americans and unbelievers to Islam," Gadahn said in Saturday's video, dressed in a white robe and turban with a long, thick black beard and a computer terminal in the background.

Laura was just on CNN (call in I think - listening on XM). I will look for a transcript later.

Addressed to American people and west in general. Both make specific references to the fact that it is for the Americans.

Gadahn introduction, then Zawahri (4 minutes), then Gadahn for the rest of the tape.

He is speaking in english to the American people.

Gadahn is taking what bin Laden and Zawahri have said in previous tapes and spelling it out in English.

Zawahri: "this is not a time to procrastinate, your time is short. "

Islamists believe they have to give infidels a chance to convert before they carry out an attach.

Tape appears to be from the last month... references Israel and Lebanon.

Specific references to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
