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.

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.

I don't believe there was a 20th hijacker planned for 9/11. Moussaoui has claimed he was part of a seperate plot.

[MamaDearest]

Thanks Revel for posting that - changes my respect for him. Sadly it appears he's got some anger issues.

[Border Enforcer]

There has been a movement of Zarqawi's minions from Iraq to Europe (many with the intent of sneaking into the United States) over the past two months. There is a clear intent to cause some or a great deal of havoc over the next few weeks. It really does seem that they are gearing up for their "Ramadan Offensive". Intelligence an Law Enforcement worldwide are working vigorously to thwart them.

[JellyJam]

You know, something just occurred to me (and I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this), could those suicide bombers with "suitcases" be carrying those Russian N-suitcases? That's a scary thought.

[Palladin]

You could be right. I haven't read up enough on Moussouai.

All I want to know is--why is he still alive?

Physical, Examinable Evidence

Chapter 74 of the Quran, is dedicated to the PRIME number 19. This number is specifically mentioned as a "punishment" for those who claim that the scripture is human-made (74:25). It is also called one of the greatest sings or miracles (74:35).

In 74:31, the purpose of this number is described: to remove all doubts regarding the authenticity of the Quran, to increase the faith of the believers, and to be a scientific challenge for hypocrites and disbelievers.

Thanks Vel. I wish jerseygirl would check in too. She hasn't been around for a while. Hope all is well with her.

[MamaDearest]

So I ask you: what if you have it all wrong?

Thank you very much, Velveeta.

[Velveeta]

You're very welcome.

Here's another one to revisit:

[toomanygrasshoppers]

Regarding dates, the USS Cole bombing anniversary is also coming up:

October 12

October 12 was also the date of the first Bali bombing in 2002.

Would the dates have been Oct 11 in NYC at the same time? I'm worried about Oct 11th b/c it is a Tuesday and 9-11 was on a Tuesday.

[MamaDearest]

If you find a 2 for 1 special on that memory, please ping me.

Add me to your order**

[Velveeta]

Oct. 11 is weighing heavy on my mind as well.

Here's Bali time:

Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia

From gopandthecity blogspot:

Now, put on your tin hats...I got this email forwarded to me on Tuesday (10/4/05) from a coworker. I sent it on to Snopes and some other NYC Bloggers as a potential hoax. Look who's not laughing now.

I do not send out mass emails as games or jokes so PLEASE take this seriously. As some of you know my father works for HomelandSecurity, at a very high position and receives security briefings on a daily basis. I received a call from him Monday Oct 3, 2005 and it was a brief call and did not contain a lot of details. The only information that I can pass on is that everyone should at all costs not ride the subway for the next 2 weeks in the major areas of NYC, that means Grand Central, Times Square, Herald Square, Union Square areas. I know that seems crazy but do take his advice if at all possible. I am not at will or able to discuss anything more than that. I was not allowed to ask him any questions but he called with grave concern for the safety of myself and Heather. He said I could tell friends exactly what I have said above and that is it.
I am sorry that I cannot give any more details. He also said that he would inform me as soon as the threat at hand has passed and when we can go back to normal life.
Best wishes,
-------Name witheld-----
Scott at Slant Point thinks there might be something to this, if the email was not a hoax. Government insiders getting information like this days before we do.

How terror nukes got here
On the trail of the man behind 'American Hiroshima'

Adnan el-Shukrijumah, a naturalized American citizen, has been singled out by Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri to serve as the field commander for the next attack on U.S. soil – the so called "American Hiroshima" – that would kill millions and bring an end to Western Civilization as we know it.

In the wake of Operation Enduring Freedom (the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan), CIA and military intelligence officials discovered the reoccurrence of el-Shukrijumah's name in "pocket litter" – documents and scraps taken from prisoners and dead al-Qaida soldiers. The name did not trigger alarms until Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, al-Qaida's military operations chief, was captured in Karachi, Pakistan March 1, 2003.

The plot revealed

After days of interrogation, coupled with severe sleep deprivation, Mohammed told U.S. officials that bin Laden was planning to create a "nuclear hell storm" in America. Unlike other attacks, the terrorist chief said, the chain of command for the nuclear attack answered directly to bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, and a mysterious scientist called "Dr. X." Mohammed later admitted that "Dr. X" was Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani father of the Islamic bomb and the godfather of modern nuclear proliferation. He further confessed that the field commander for this operation was a naturalized American citizen whom he called "Jafer al-Tayyar" ("Jafer the Pilot").

U.S. officials soon learned that "Jafer the Pilot" was an alias for Adnan el-Shukrijumah and that he and other al-Qaida operatives had been sent to McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, a facility that boasts a five-megawatt nuclear research reactor, the largest reactor of any educational facility in Canada. The mission of the operatives was to acquire training in nuclear technology and steal radioactive material for the construction of dirty nukes.

By the time Canadian officials became alerted to the situation, it was too late – el-Shukrijumah and his fellow terrorists already had crossed the border into Buffalo – where they remained sheltered by members of a local mosque. They didn't leave Canada empty-handed, but reportedly brought with them over 180 pounds of nuclear waste (compliments of McMaster's).

'Demanding, rude and obnoxious'

On March 21, 2004, Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller issued a BOLO ("be-on-the-lookout") alert for el-Shukrijumah and Amer el-Maati, along with Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani woman who received a biology degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and penned a doctoral thesis on neurological science at Brandeis University; Ahmed Kalfan Ghailani (aka "Foopie"), who took part in the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania; Adam Yahiye Gadahn (aka Adam Pearlman), a convert to Islam who grew up on a goat ranch in Riverside County, Calif.; and Abderraouf Jdey, the leader of the al-Qaida cell in Toronto.

Several days after the BOLO was issued, Adnan and Jdey were spotted at a Denny's restaurant in Avon, Colo., where one ordered a chicken sandwich and a salad. The restaurant manager described them as "demanding, rude and obnoxious."

The summit in Waziristan

Following the sighting in Colorado, the diminutive el-Shukrijumah, who stands 5-foot-4 and weighs less than 132 pounds, resurfaced at a terrorist summit in the lawless Waziristan Province of Pakistan in April 2004. The summit has been described by the FBI as a "pivotal planning session" in much the same manner as a 2000 meeting was held in Kuala Lumpur for the 9-11 attacks.

Attending the summit were Mohammed Babar, who has been charged with buying materials to build bombs for attacks in Great Britain, and al-Hindi, a Pakistani technician whose company contained plans for staging attacks at financial institutions in New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C.

Shukrijumah south of the border

On May 27, 2004, el-Shukrijumah was spotted at an Internet café in Tegucigalpa, the hilly capital of Honduras, where he made calls to France, Canada and the U.S. He was described as badly dressed and bearded. At his table were Mara Salvatrucha leaders (jefes) from Panama, Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador.

From Tegucigalpa, he made his way north to Belize in British Honduras and, from Belize, to Mexico's Quintana Roo State, south of Cancun.

El-Shukrijumah remained in Mexico for much of the summer of 2004. In late August, he was spotted in the northern Mexican province of Sonora near "terrorist alley," the main passageway for illegal aliens, including OTMs (other than Mexicans) and "Special Interest Aliens" to the land of Mickey Mouse, MTV and George W. Bush. Alberti Chapetti of the U.S. Consulate in Nogales issued warnings about Adnan's presence in the area along with the posting of a $5 million reward for tips leading to his arrest.

Nukes arrive in Mexico

Concern about el-Shukrijumah's extended stay in Mexico was heightened in November 2004 with the arrest in Pakistan of Sharif al-Masri, a key al-Qaida operative. Al Masri, an Egyptian national jihadi with close ties to al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's No. 2 man, informed interrogators that al-Qaida had made arrangements to smuggle nuclear supplies and tactical nuclear weapons into Mexico. From Mexico, the weapons were to be transported across the border with the help of a Latino street gang. The gang was later identified as Mara Salvatrucha, and the plans had been finalized at the terrorist summit in Waziristan.

In response to this information, U.S. officials began monitoring all heavy trucks crossing the border, while Mexican officials pledged to keep close watch over flight schools and aviation facilities.

Such precautions may have been adopted too late. A Piper PA Pawnee crop duster was stolen from Ejido Queretaro near Mexicali Nov. 1, 2004. The plane's tail number was XBCYP. The thieves, Mexican officials surmised, were either drug dealers or al-Qaida operatives, and clearly one was a highly trained pilot who met the description of Adnan el-Shukrijumah.
