About This Workshop
The FBI and DHS are warning state and local partners to be
on the alert for suicide bombers using large vehicle borne
improvised explosive devices (LVBIED) and
man-portable/hand-carried IEDs. Homeland Defense
Journal's Terrorism and the Suicide Bomb Attack -
based on U.S. and other international case studies - is
designed for advanced levels of government and security
personnel to provide you with relevant information about
the motivation, training, equipment, techniques and
operational methods used by terrorist bombers, with
particular attention on the suicide bomber. In addition,
you'll learn about other terrorism counter-measures,
including how to prepare an effective bomb threat and
bombing response plan.
Homeland Defense Journal's Terrorism and the
Suicide Bomb Attack will provide you with
background on the different bombing methods employed by
different terror groups, assist you with detection
techniques for Suicide Terrorists, help you to understand
what an effective protective policy might look like, and
give considerable detail about attempted and actual
incidents that have occurred in the United States and
overseas. It will also teach you how to conduct building
and vehicle searches and evacuations, mitigate bombing
attacks and understand the sources, costs and evaluation
of, physical security enhancements.
This workshop is not only designed for
local, state and federal agencies dealing with today's
security concerns, but will also be of extreme value if
you are a security manager for a government building,
school or corporate headquarters. By gaining an
understanding of who the terrorists are, how different
terrorist groups gather intelligence and operate, the
nature of terrorist explosive devices, and how the devices
may be detected and stopped, you will be able to work more
closely with your security staff and local agencies in
creating security plans that may mitigate or avoid
disasters.
