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
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.

Thanks for the additional info. It is truly bizarre how folks on the other thread are making jokes and/or saying "it's nothing but a suicidal student". Also interesting, but not surprising, that the media is already trying to spin a cover.

Thank you for your analysis Granny. I don't know if there is a protest planned for the 4th as I tend to ignore the protest crowd. Good connecting of the dots with the "crowd and a doctor".

Seven Egyptians put on Qaeda, Taleban UN ban list
1 October 2005

UNITED NATIONS - UN Security Council members have approved seven of the 20 people Egypt proposed for a UN sanctions list of persons or groups associated with terror organisations, council diplomats said on Friday.

Among the seven, at least one resides in Britain - Hani Yousef al-Sibai, head of the Maqrizi Center for Historical Studies in London, who called the July 7 bombings in London a ”great victory” in an interview with Al Jazeera, the Arab television network.

Accusations against the seven were not immediately available. The council has imposed travel and financial sanctions against people who participate or are associated in with Afghanistan’s former Taleban rulers or Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda network.

Egypt earlier in the year submitted 20 names but the United States, Britain and Denmark thought the data was too thin and only approved seven of them on Friday, the envoys said.

Also on the list is Egyptian Ali Sayyid Muhamed Mustafa al-Bakri, said to be an Al Qaeda member and expert on explosives; and Abdullah Muhammed Rajab Abd al-Rahman, reported to have been jailed in Egypt 15 years ago.

The Security Council imposed sanctions against the Taleban in November 1999 for harboring bin Laden after the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The sanctions were then broadened to include Al Qaeda.

Currently on the Security Council list are more than 140 individuals associated with the Taleban and 182 people and 117 businesses or groups linked to al Qaeda.

All 191-UN members are required to abide by the travel and financial sanctions against those on the list. The bans also include an arms embargo.

It hasn't even dawned on them that the law enforcement can't discern even the gender of the blown up person.

In addition, another device or devices...was detonated by LE.

The media can try to spin.

We'll figure it out anyway. ;-)

We should have accepted the 20 as bad eggs and asked if they had any more. Thin data should be like smoked salmon in this case...thin is fine.

When I attempt to put me in the place of the government and think about if I would release the info.

Then, I think I would not release most of it.

The terrorists have always said things like " After London, then the U.S.".

By keeping it a secret, they bought a weeks time to catch the terrorists, lets hope they did. Not only the ones who released this one, but the ones who would have made the next release.

Take a close look at post #79, it is about a germ release, or it is in my opinion.

And I am thinking of the people, such as my mother, who took her disease off the TV shows.....but she also had doctors who would treat her with all kinds of medicines to the point of death. Half pint jars of pain killers from the Navy Hospital and also private doctors.

Or the gal I worked with in the Casino, who took every product that was advertised on tv.....

These people would clog the medical system, to the point that the real sick folks could not get the care they needed.

I am sure the doctors in the area were alerted.

I think that all this flu hype / fear, is a cover for the threat of biohazards.

They can yell "flu outbreak" and everyone pays attention.

What could be done, after it was released?

I would not take the shots, many will.

The 15th of September, it was a food worker with Hepitius that has possibly infected 25,000 people at a convention in Las Vegas.

This morning, the las vegas anti America host, was doing a program on " What have you done to prepare", interesting in that he does not support anything that we do.

I suspect that he was ordered to introduce the subject.

E-coli in the water, has anyone tracked the towns on a hiway map? Mama Dearest had a list of the towns.

I suspect it is our small white car, just traveling the hiway. Starting fires, running trucks off the road and breaking into water systems.

There was a water system on the east coast also, with the top pried off, Domestic Church? might have posted it, as I recall asking if it was the same water system that had the dead Lady in the water, also a break in, to put her there.
New Jersey and New York.

I swear, that I heard a "Freeway Alert" for California, on KFI radio, it said "suitcase in right lane"............

You have a good point Granny. There has to be a balance between alerting the public and inciting panic. I forget that most folks are more REACTIVE rather than PROACTIVE in this day and age.

Reactive folk panic easily. Proactive folk tend to respond calmly in the face of adversity.

Just turned to FOX and there's nothing on this. I strongly suspect that if this turns out to be a mooselimb, it won't get coverage by anybody....not even FOX.

Also, as I recall, the rants of the Jihadis said something about the B-I-G one being preceeded by a lot of little ones leading to a crescendo. I wonder....

Glad you checked in Ex. Glad you are aware of this.

From what I can glean off the other thread and from the lack of MSM coverage I'm going with the thought that this is the start off the offensive we've been hearing about.

Multiple devices found at the OK site, timing on the heels of the Bali bombings, public announcements, new threats.

Tomorrow worries me greatly. IF this is the start of the offensive, what are your thoughts on how this is going to play out?

I'm mulling the pros and cons of evac vs. staying put. Leaning toward staying put. This building can be easily defended.

"Explosion outside college football game
Authorities: One killed, apparently a suicide"


Saturday, October 1, 2005; Posted: 11:54 p.m. EDT (03:54 GMT)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NORMAN, Oklahoma (AP) -- One person was killed in an explosion near a packed football stadium at the University of Oklahoma on Saturday night in what authorities said appeared to be a suicide.

The blast, in a traffic circle about 100 yards from Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, could be heard by some in the crowd of 84,000, but university President David Boren said no one inside the stadium was ever in danger.

"We are apparently dealing with an individual suicide, which is under full investigation," Boren said in a statement. There was no information about the person who was killed, and no reports of any other injuries.

A police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast. The area near the stadium was searched by bomb-sniffing dogs."
