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!
Threat Matrix - Daily Terrorism Threat
Threat Matrix: U.S. Terrorism
Terrorists could be just getting started
Full Story

New York City and Washington. Bali, Indonesia; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; Istanbul, Turkey; Madrid, Spain. And now London.

When will it end? Where will it all lead?

The experts aren't encouraged. One terrorism researcher sees the prospect of "endless" war. Adds the man who tracked Osama bin Laden for the CIA, "I don't think it's even started yet."

Police to raid in socks

By VIRGINIA WHEELER

POLICE have been told they must show respect by taking their SHOES OFF before raiding the homes of Muslim terror suspects.

It was one of 18 rules laid down in new guidelines for officers in Luton — a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism

Are there any articles out there that indicate which subway cars the terrorists target? Do they always target the same subway car (such as the first car, middle car, etc.)? Were the London bombers similarly situated in the subway as those on the train in Madrid?

As a daily passenger on NYC subway system, I would appreciate this information.

OPINION-SPECULATION...

Shoes are part of safety equipment...you never know what you may be stepping on, walking through, etc.

I'm sure the leo's will file a lawsuit when the first injury occurs and I'm doubly sure that if officers are in fresh pursuit; they aren't going take the time to take off their shoes.

I could be wrong.

U.S. weighs protecting foreign diplomats
(AP)
Updated: 2005-07-29 09:19

The U.S. military is considering offering protection to foreign diplomats in Baghdad after
al-Qaida agents killed three Arab envoys this month, the American ambassador said
Thursday, Associated Press reported.

"Coalition forces... are planning to look at this problem and see what could be done to fix the
security for the diplomats," Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad told reporters. "It's very
important for foreign diplomats who come here to have a sense of security."

He spoke a day after Iraq's most feared terrorist group announced it killed two Algerian
diplomats ¡ª including the country's chief envoy in Iraq ¡ª because of their government's
ties to the United States and its crackdown on Islamic extremists.

Chief envoy Ali Belaroussi and diplomat Azzedine Belkadi were kidnapped outside their
embassy in Baghdad's western neighborhood of Mansour. Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed
responsibility.

The group ¡ª headed by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi ¡ª also
claimed responsibility for the kidnap-slaying of Egypt's top envoy and the attempted
abduction of two other Muslim diplomats in a campaign to undercut support for the new
Iraqi government within the Arab and Muslim world.

The United States has urged Arab and Muslim countries to deepen their diplomatic ties to
Baghdad ¡ª a strategy that seems at risk after the brutal attacks.

Khalilzad said no final decision had been made on offering protection, and some Arab
diplomats may fear the presence of U.S. forces around diplomatic missions could actually
draw insurgent attacks.

"We have not accepted taking on the mission at this point," Khalilzad said. "But what we've
agreed is, we will look at this, see what the problem is, and what the options might be for
assisting."

It was not clear exactly how many diplomats the U.S. might be called on to protect. There
are more than 40 foreign missions and some 500 diplomats in Iraq.

Both the Algerians and the Egyptian diplomat had no personal bodyguards. Belaroussi told
colleagues he felt no need for security because of Algeria's good relations with the Iraqi
people and its opposition to the U.S.-led invasion.

In Algeria, police detained Ali Belhadj, a former deputy leader of the banned Islamic
Salvation Front, after he publicly praised Iraq's insurgency and condoned the killing of the
two diplomats, an Algerian newspaper reported Thursday.

Belhadj, freed in 2003 after serving a 12-year prison sentence, was apprehended Wednesday
after making the comments in a telephone interview with Al-Jazeera television, El Watan
newspaper reported.

The kidnappings were part of a surge in insurgent attacks after the Shiite and Kurdish-led
government was announced April 28. The U.S. military announced Thursday two American
soldiers were killed and one was wounded in a roadside bombing the day before in Baghdad.

Another American soldier died Wednesday in a non-hostile vehicle accident in central Iraq,
the U.S. military said. That brought to eight the number of Americans killed in Iraq since
Sunday night, when four members of the Georgia National Guard died in a bombing in
Baghdad.

As of Wednesday, at least 1,782 members of the U.S. military had died since the beginning
of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. At least 1,376 died
as a result of hostile action.

Also Thursday, U.S. Marine jets dropped laser-guided bombs and other ordnance on
insurgent positions northwest of Baghdad, killing nine insurgents ¡ª including five Syrians,
the U.S. military said.

The airstrike was launched after troops from the U.S. 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment
and the Iraqi 1st Division came under fire in a village west of Haditha, 140 miles northwest
of Baghdad.

Jets from the 2nd Marine Air Wing dropped three laser-guided bombs and one global
positioning system guided bomb, destroying all three buildings, the statement added.

French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy also told a newspaper that at least seven people
from France have been killed in Iraq after joining insurgents there.

"At least seven people from France have died there fighting for al-Qaida's cause, some in
suicide attacks, and about 10 others are still there," Sarkozy told Le Parisien in an interview
being published Friday.

The interior minister said he wanted to reinforce surveillance of flights to Syria, Pakistan and
Afghanistan, which he said are stopovers for Europeans heading to Iraq to join militant
groups.

Elsewhere, insurgents launched coordinated attacks against four Iraqi army checkpoints
along a road between Baqouba and Baghdad, killing six Iraqi soldiers, police said. At least
eight people ¡ª three soldiers, four policemen and one civilian ¡ª were wounded as fighting
continued into late afternoon.

In Baghdad, a train carrying fuel exploded into flames when it was hit by a bomb, killing two
people and wounding six, police said. The bomb appeared aimed at a nearby police
commando checkpoint, police said. An Internet posting in the name of al-Qaida in Iraq
claimed responsibility.

Death toll up; disease 'under control'
By Bao Daozu (China Daily)
Updated: 2005-07-29 06:01

Yang Weizhong, Director of the Office of Disease Control and Emergency Response of
China Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), made the remarks in Ziyang
yesterday in a brief interview with journalists.

With a chart showing the epidemic in Ziyang to be in decline, Yang said he was still not sure
when the epidemic would be over.

The epidemic situation seems to be very localized now, Robert Dietz, a spokesman for the
World Health Organisation (WHO), was quoted as saying.

In South China's Guangdong Province, the Guangdong Yongshun Biology Pharmaceutical
Factory is stepping up production of a vaccine to protect pigs against the disease, Wu
Weirui, board chairman of the factory told China Daily yesterday.

A large amount of the vaccine, enough for at least 20 million pigs, will be sent to Sichuan by
next Wednesday, he said.

Since the outbreak was discovered on June 24, Ziyang has done its utmost to prevent the
spread of the disease, said Chen Nenggang, deputy mayor of Ziyang.

The city has issued more than 2 million posters urging farmers not to slaughter or eat sick
pigs, the only ways humans can become infected.

At least 50,000 health workers and officials were sent to nearly 1.4 million farming
households, to register every pig in the region, Chen said.

Ziyang also set up 39 temporary roadside quarantine stations to stop dead pigs from being
transported to market, he added.

The Sichuan provincial government has designated four medical facilities in Ziyang, Neijiang,
Zigong and Suining as treatment centres for farmers showing symptoms of the disease.

Sudanese VP, former rebel leader Garang killed in helicopter
crash
Posted on Monday, August 1, 2005 at 12:40pm
Sudan's vice president and former southern rebel leader John Garang
has died in a helicopter crash, officials said, dealing a blow to a
landmark peace deal signed in January with Khartoum to end more than
20 years of civil war. "The presidency has followed the reports about the
disappearance of the aircraft of Sudanese Vice-President John Garang
and it is confirmed beyond doubt that it crashed in the Amatonj
mountains," said a statement from Sudanese President Omar al-Beshir.
"It resulted in the death of John Garang and six people accompanying
him as well as seven members of the crew of the Ugandan presidential
aircraft," said the statement, which was read on state television. The
Amatonj mountains are in the Eastern Equatorial province of Sudan near
the border with Uganda. A Ugandan official later said in Kampala that
the wreckage of a crashed Ugandan helicopter and the bodies Garang
and the 13 other people on board had been located in a remote area of
southern Sudan. Full Story

Sudan Turns Violent After Garang's Death
Posted on Monday, August 1, 2005 at 6:52pm
Rioters burned cars and threw stones in Sudan's capital on Monday after
a helicopter crash killed the country's vice president, who until recently
was a southern rebel leader. Sudanese leaders appealed for calm and
said the nation's peace process would remain on track. But some
southern Sudanese said they were suspicious about the circumstances of
the death of John Garang, who was a key figure in a fledgling peace deal
between the predominantly Arab Muslim government and the Christian
south. Full Story

"PROSECUTORS: AL-ARIAN SOUGHT TO OVERSEE FUNDING"
August 1, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET #1: "TAMPA - Palestinian Islamic Jihad officials approved a proposal by Sami Al- Arian to reform the terrorist organizations' finances by making Al-Arian one of the three people in charge of overseeing funds, according to evidence presented in Al-Arian's trial on Monday."


ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "Al-Arian is on trial, along with Sameeh Hammoudeh, Hatim Naji Fariz and Ghassan Zayed Ballut, on charges they helped organize and finance the Islamic Jihad, which has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks and suicide bombings in Israel and the occupied territories.

Although supporting the Islamic Jihad did not become illegal in the United States until January 1995, prosecutors are presenting the earlier evidence under the theory that it was part of a continuing criminal conspiracy."
