Europe is Facing a Triple Threat
Threat Matrix Highlight
At a recent security conference in Munich, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates told European nations that they were under direct threat from Islamist extremists and that this phenomenon would not go away. Gates tied European security to NATO success in Afghanistan.

In fact, Western intelligence services have recently established operational links between al-Qaida in Afghanistan and al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) whose goals include striking at the heart of Europe. Read More

“March Madness: Homeland Security Issues Warning on Sports Arenas
FBI and DHS Issue Warning Just in Time for March Madness”

By RICHARD ESPOSITO
March 4, 2008

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “As the spring sports season moves into high gear, the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI today issued an assessment, called “Potential Threats to Popular Sports and Entertainment Venues,” that said arenas and stadiums are attractive “potential targets during events.”

The assessment repeatedly noted that the FBI and DHS have no “information on any credible or specific current terrorism plots to attack stadiums or arenas in the United States.””

Russian bomber again intercepted near U.S. Navy ship
Reuters ^ | Mar 5, 2008
Posted on 03/05/2008 5:30:17 PM PST by Tailgunner Joe

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Russian bomber aircraft approached a U.S. aircraft carrier off the Korean coast on Wednesday and was intercepted by American fighter jets — the second such incident in less than a month, U.S. defense officials said.

According to the U.S. officials, a Russian bomber came within three to five nautical miles and flew 2,000 feet (610 meters) above the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and its accompanying ships.

Two U.S. F/A-18 fighters were launched to intercept the Russian aircraft and escort it out of the area, according to one defense official.

Russian bombers over the past year have increased their flights near U.S. territory and U.S. naval assets, demonstrating their long-range strike capability.

In February, two Russian bombers approached the Nimitz near Japan and one flew over the carrier, escorted by a U.S. fighter jet. That was the first Russian overflight of a U.S. carrier since 2004.

Those operations come as Russian officials say they will revive some of the military power and reach allowed to collapse with the Soviet Union.

U.S. defense officials on Wednesday said they did not consider the Russian bomber flight a threat or concern.

Pilots across Canada report being flashed by lasers
Wed. Mar. 5 2008

Thirty-three pilots across Canada have reported being flashed in the eyes by a laser beam while flying, including at least five incidents near Toronto's Pearson International Airport. Transport Canada is now investigating the incidents, which date back to 2005 and include at least 12 in Ontario.

"It is certainly a concern for us and we're watching it closely," spokesperson Kirsten Goodnough told CTV.ca, saying she has no explanation for the increasing frequency of incidents. The pilots have complained about someone on the ground shining a laser at their planes, penetrating the cockpit window and flashing the pilots in the eye. The source of the light is unclear.

Goodnough said some of the incidents around Toronto could have involved the small laser pointers used in boardrooms, but the devices would have to be relatively close to the plane to have a serious effect. She said the more powerful lasers that may be involved would be those used in surgery rooms or at laser light shows, but those are a lot bigger and require heavy machinery. The devices also require permits from Health Canada.

Landing pilots blinded by bright light (Canada)
March 5, 2008

Someone is trying to blind pilots landing at Pearson International Airport, and other GTA airports, by shining a laser beam from the ground. At least five incidents have been reported by pilots since the beginning of the year, including one on Jan. 7 in which someone flashed a bright light at an Air Canada Jazz pilot from the time he was more than five kilometres from Pearson until he landed the airplane.

Air Canada spokesperson Deborah Baxter said there have been at least 11 incidents in the past year, with many more suspected of going unreported. "Transport Canada is very concerned about the increasing frequency of laser-related incidents," Baxter said.
