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.
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.
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.
What You Will Learn
• The nature of explosives and terrorist
devices
• The different methods used by terrorist
groups in committing their attacks
• Operational terrorist attack details and
how terrorist success may be prevented
• U.S. experience from recent suicide
bombings and lessons learned
• How to respond safely to bomb threats and
actual incidents
You'll see specific incident photographs and
videos of actual post-attack scenes and
footage shot by terrorists detailing
bomb-making instructions. Mock suicide
terrorist explosive devices ranging from a
"shoe bomb" to suicide vests will be used
during the workshop to illustrate various
teaching points. (These are training aids
only and all simulated explosive materials
are completely inert.)
Topics You Will Cover
• The history of terrorist bombings
• The rationale and justifications of
suicide terror bombings
• The organization, recruitment and training
of suicide bombers
• Modus Operandi and profiles of suicide
bombers
• Technical details about IED construction
and concealment techniques
• Types of devices used such as bombs in
trucks, boats, gliders and other conveyances
• Dealing with the armed suicide bomber,
combined attacks and secondary devices
• The outlines of a successful bomb threat
and response plan
Who Should Attend
• Federal, state and local security planners
involved with Homeland Security
• Law enforcement, emergency responders and
private security companies
• Military personnel involved in security,
protection or counter-terrorism
• Ship and air safety officers
• Corporate security officers
• Homeland security experts and officials
Please note: Because of security concerns, a
list of early registrants is available to
varifiably legitimate parties by calling
Pamela Greenstein at (703) 807-2758.
