Targeted Actionable Monitoring Center (TAM-C) of the Institute of TerrorismResearch and Response

Intent:

To provide analysis to subscribers of increasing communications byadversarial elements with connections to western nations, specifically, theUnited States and Europe.

Threat Classification:

MODERATE (Level 3) - available intelligence and recent events indicatethat terrorists have the capability to mount an attack on the target andthat such an attack is within the group's current intent. I t is assessed that

an attack is likely to be a priority fo r the terrorists arid might well bemounted.

Justification:

Arab language researchers of the Targeted Actionable Monitoring Center(TAM-C) have identified two recent jihadi communications coming from asubject identifying himself as 'Rakan bin Williams'. The name, Rakan binWilliams, has been used previously in jihadist communications. Althoughthe communications was in ArabiC, Williams describes himself as

American.

TAM-C analysts note that the name, Rakan bin Williams, may not be an

individual, but may be a general name used by other American-bornMuslim converts or used by homegrown terror cells.

Background as per Rakan Bin Williams (RBK) from 2005 and re-released

2



in 2006: Born and raised in Europe to Christian parents but AQ convincedhim of the righteous way of Islam. Understand that the Europeans that

joined the AQ organization have free movement inside Europe and theUSA. Not for one moment do they stop collecting intelligence.

This week RBW has returned to the Jihadist sites, but this time he is

reporting from the USA.

Williams's references to American literature tends to confirm the beliefthat he is American. In his communications, Williams states that he is

"thirsty to be a shahid, a soldier of al Qaeda."

The communications indicates the imminent launch of an attack that willeffect the nation's economy.

The communication also indicates that the attack will be against American

electronics. The means of attack suggested by Williams is, in the opinionof TAM-C analysts, beyond his operational capability.

However, readers are reminded of the Targeted Actionable MonitoringCenter Alert dated 15 September 2009 indicating cyber targeting of theUS infrastructure.

In previous communications, Rakan bin Williams has made a specificreference to Arizona. However, Arizona was not referenced in this mostrecent communication.

Conclusion:

TAM-C analysts expect an attack by adversarial computer hackers againstan American asset (o r assets) that can have an effect on a large portionof the population.

Critical infrastructure security personnel and computer support teamsshould be on high alert.

TAM-C analysts believe that, if operationally pOSSible, the expectedattacks will occur within the Ramadan period.

Such calls by RBW may result in lone wolf actions against soft targetsthat have been referred to in the past in similar communications.

Furthermore, the sudden communications by RBW at this moment, maybe an attempt to call to arms local terror elements as AQ has failed at arecent assassination attempt in Saudi Arabia and 911 passed without anyactivity against Western interests.

The TAM-C has designated a team to continue the analysis of the

3



intercepted communications and overall behavior and postings of thisname. Relevant clients with assigned TAM -C project managers shouldmaintain communications with their contacts as required.

Timeline:

Through 30 September 2009

Alert from the Targeted Actionable Monitoring Center (TAM-C)

Subject: Northeast Anarchist Network meeting in Philadelphia

The Northeast Anarchist Network (NEAN) will be meeting in Philadelphia 19-20 December 2009 . This

regional meeting is expected to bring approximately 20-25 dedicated Anarchist activists into

Philadelphia for the "Philadelphia Assembly."

The number above does no t include members of the local Philadelphia Anarchist population.

Areas from which Anarchists will be coming include Pittsburgh, Boston, Syracuse, and Ithaca.

The meeting will take place at the Lancasler Avenue Aulonomous Zone (LAVA) at 4134 Lancaster

Avenue.

Logistical preparations have included the Anarchist organization, Food Not Bombs, providing meals for

the Assembly.

A major portion of the meeting will be dedicated to the issue of how NEAN fits into the greater Anarchist

movement of the United States and the world . It will also include reports from the G20 disorders and

possibly the COP15 disorders in Copenhagen.

TAM-C analysts note that the subject matter indicates a growing assertiveness of Anarchist groups in the

northeast.
