2 Day Counter Terrorism & Current Threats Master Class
(with an emphasis on the Mumbai Terrorist Attacks)
Terrorist attacks by means of explosive devices are not the exclusive experience of just a single country. Today there are many terrorist organizations which operate on an international level and can be distinguished by their opinions, motives, and geographical locations
The following are highlighted attacks that have occurred around the world:
• USA-WTC 9/11: fueled jets crashed and caused a series of
explosions
• Bali: a suicide attack with a booby-trapped car
• Iraq: various types of bombs
• Morocco: explosive devices in truck
• Africa: US embassy buildings, suicide bombers
• Spain: booby-trapped cars and explosive devices
• Russia: booby-trapped cars and explosive devices
• Sri Lanka: suicide bombers, booby-trapped cars, and explosive devices
• India: suicide bombers, booby-trapped cars, and timed explosions
• London: suicide bombers on a bus and inside a train station
• Middle East: all types
• In every attack, the explosion is caused by a mechanism that makes the
detonator ignite the explosive material
• This means that explosive devices consist of three parts:
• The Mechanism
• The detonator
• The explosive material

Course Outline
This is a two-day seminar for security officers, security functionaries, security-system managers, and logistic managers. Its purpose is to contribute to the understanding of the adversary's motives and enhance the importance of confrontation methods which consist of three primary elements
Covered Topics
- Opening remarks, objectives of the seminar, coordination of expectations, training security/security-system managers as a first-rate auxiliary force operating prior to the arrival of emergency forces in all fields
- This perception will enable the seminar participants to return to their workplaces with a sense of professionalism and with energies they will use to upgrade current security levels.
- This perception will enable the seminar participants to return to their workplaces with a sense of professionalism and with energies they will use to upgrade current security levels.
- Preliminary examination of the terrorist attack in India in which security forces arrived late and provided inappropriate responses. This constitutes an example of how security forces should not operate, and the examination will cover their preliminary mistakes.
- Local Security Forces
- Slow responses without preliminary preparations
- No coordination between the forces-none-use of communication devices and identification marks
- The last bullet was fired 60 hours after the incident had started, which makes it long and exhausting
- What drives global terrorism?-terrorist organizations that operate in the region
- Bomb security: explosive devices
- Booby traps: the ultimate fear of the security personnel when combing the premises
- Booby-trapped cars: a brutal and wide-spread weapon
- Intelligence and information gathering: the terrorists' preparations vs. ours-how can we be ready?
- The Adversary-the Terrorist
- The adversary had gathered intelligence prior to the incident-diversified and first-rate preparation standards.
- The adversary adopted a sophisticated assault strategy; thus, there were several simultaneous attacks, each performed by several terrorists.
- The adversary was equipped with state-of-the-art equipment-GPS, cell-phones, and so forth.
- The adversary was very determined and fought until the last minute.
- The defense concept and the effect of initial responses
- Training for security-system managers that will serve (as a lesson from the Mumbai attack) as an auxiliary force and assist the military, police, Special Forces, and rescue units in several fields:
- Combing for additional explosive devices (three devices were located in Mumbai next to the hotels several hours after the fighting had ended; they contained RDX, a particularly strong explosive).
- Evacuation of spectators and maintenance of order until the police forces arrive to handle the incident.
- Initial medical treatment for the wounded prior to the arrival of medical units.
- Deployment prior to the terrorist attack, during the attack, and (very important) following the attack. Maintenance of a high-alert operational security system. Simulations for different scenarios and implementation of company regulations as operational fundamentals and as the basis for "a professional common language".
Following this introduction and once the participants understand the essence of explosive devices, we will elaborate on the following topics:
The Suicide Bomber
- What goes through his head: the psychology that drives him
- Recruitment methods: recruitment groups-a personal drive or social pressure?
- Signs that help identify a suicide bomber: how to respond
- The mini-max security strategy: a managerial tool
- Security-related technology: the effective defense mechanism
- The incident scene: post-attack procedures
- A real event: analysis of actual responses
Benefits
Familiarity with security-related issues in an age of terrorism such as ours can serve as a first-class tool for security managers. Knowing about the adversary's capabilities, methods, and tools in advance can help us, as managers, to establish an effective security system that will eventually create a terrorism-free atmosphere in our workplace.
