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!

Was Bomber's "New York" Shirt A Message?
Full Story

It's hardly a unique fashion statement for a mass transit rider: a Yankees-style cap, and a "New York" sweat shirt.

But the New York Police Department is teaming with British authorities to determine whether those items were worn by suspects in the London terror cases to send a "purposeful message" to the city, according to an NYPD officials.

David Cohen, the NYPD's deputy commissioner of intelligence, raised the concern earlier this week at a security briefing for business leaders at police headquarters in Lower Manhattan.

In the gun photo in post # 2963 above, do you all see scrolling arabic letters running across the top?

I didn't at first and then I clicked something on my computer and the scrolling message appeared.

Granny, J sounds very nice and observant to boot. Hopefully, he'll sign up!

Well, your cats will be glad to see you know the priority of things!

V, I saw the lettering when the pic first came up, but then it went away and I couldn't get it back.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

That's interesting. Guess this is a step up for Miller to move to the FBI and help man their pa/pr operation.

He's the dude who interviewed bin laden. I was surprised when he left abc.

"FBI Looking Into Calif. Grocery Store Owner Said to Lead U.S. Branch of Radical Islamic Group"

Published: Aug 24, 2005


ARTICLE SNIPPET #1: "LOS ANGELES (AP) - The FBI has launched an inquiry into the activities of a grocery store owner who is allegedly the U.S. leader of a radical Islamic group banned in parts of Europe and the Middle East, authorities said.

Doing better all the time...homeschooling is taking virtually every minute I'm not absolutely doing something else -- so haven't had a lot of time to look into much.

I will once I get more organized, though! ;-)

[Velveeta]

Will you please try something?

Right click your mouse and click 'encoding'.
Then click on 'left to right document'.

Is the lettering there?

Thanks, Donna!
How could they NOT KNOW what's in the container?????

[kimmie7]

I'm on a Mac and all I got scrolling on that picture were question marks...

[Velveeta]

Do you have a way to specify arabic language on your Mac?

"Witness: Islamic Jihad Planned Strike In U.S."

By MICHAEL FECHTER mfechter@tampatrib.com
Published: Aug 24, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TAMPA - The Palestinian Islamic Jihad planned an attack inside the United States, but it might have been thwarted by federal law enforcement, an FBI agent testified Tuesday afternoon.

Agent Kerry Myers said all information about the plot was classified and he could not discuss it.

He made the revelation early in his cross-examination as a witness in the terror-support trial of former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian and three other men. U.S. District Judge James Moody later ordered prosecutors to present evidence about the plot to him during a closed meeting in his chambers to determine whether defense attorneys should have access to it.

Defense attorney William Moffitt had asked Myers whether the Islamic Jihad ever committed a terrorist attack outside Israel or the occupied territories.

It has not, but its leaders threatened to attack the United States three times, Myers said."

I admire those who can homeschool.
Wish I'd have known it as a viable option when mine were younger.
Good luck!

[Donna Lee Nardo]

I know...you would think they had a pretty decent inventory. I hope they find out fast. Yeesh.

[little jeremiah]

Could you freepmail me that answer too? I remember reading something about it on FR a while ago, that there was debate in that camp whether to go martial law or not.

[kimmie7]

No, I sure don't...but I do have arabic capabilities on my pc at home...I'll look at it tonight!

[Velveeta]

FGS, have they not heard of labels?

This is either disinformation...they know exactly what leaked.

Or, they're plain incompetent.
