Terrorism
Terrorism is an act of violence where the victim is not the intended target
Counterterrorism is the name for the active measures that police, the military, intelligence and diplomats use to detect, apprehend or destroy terrorists and terrorist groups
Antiterrorism is the name for the passive measures used to protect organizations from terrorists. In the antiterrorism world it isn’t our job to destroy the terrorist groups: we just want to convince them to leave us alone while the counterterrorism forces hunt them down.

There are worse killers out there…
• Half of all humans who ever lived were killed by mosquito-borne diseases
• At least 438,000 died of malaria in 2015 alone
• 300 million people died of smallpox in the 20th Century (1900-1977)

… and more killers…
A few things that kill more Canadians and Americans than terrorists:
• Guns (over 30,000 in 2015 alone)
• Hospital errors (98,000 per year)
• Car accidents (35,000 in 2014)

Why do Governments respond so harshly to terrorism?Max Weber“a state is a human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory”
Leon Trotsky“Every state is founded on force”

Why do Governments respond so harshly to terrorism?
Terrorists hijack the
government’s agenda, forcing
them to divert attention and
resources from their own goals
to counterterrorism
![Page 7: Session 3108 Developing an Antiterrorism Plan · Terrorism Terrorism is an act of violence where the victim is not the intended target Counterterrorism is the name for the active](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062603/5f23e81dbd9c480c661a16d9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why do Governments respond so
harshly to terrorism?
“terrorism is designed to drive a
wedge between segments of a
community which otherwise
might have coexisted peacefully,
both politically and socially”
- Lawrence M. Krauss, The New
Yorker

Explosives & Guns are by far
the most common type
of attack
![Page 12: Session 3108 Developing an Antiterrorism Plan · Terrorism Terrorism is an act of violence where the victim is not the intended target Counterterrorism is the name for the active](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062603/5f23e81dbd9c480c661a16d9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Passive Support
(Support cause, provide financial assistance,
unwilling to go to jail or risk injury)
Active Support
(Will assist terrorists in nonviolent ways,
willing to take higher risks)
Active Cadre
(They carry out attacks,
train others)
Committed
Leadership
Legal/Illegal Cutoff LineAdjusted through emergency powers

“If we have a free path we go forward.
If we meet an obstacle we go around it.
If the object cannot be overcome, we
retreat.
When the enemy is unprepared, we
surprise him.
If he is alert we leave him alone.”
-Andreas Baader, Leader of the Baader-
Meinhof Terrorist Group

Khobar Towers
“There were ten incidents of possible surveillance on Khobar Towers before the attack”
- Downing report on Khobar Towers Bombing
![Page 15: Session 3108 Developing an Antiterrorism Plan · Terrorism Terrorism is an act of violence where the victim is not the intended target Counterterrorism is the name for the active](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062603/5f23e81dbd9c480c661a16d9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The main point is to select targets where success is
100% assured.
- Dr. George Habash, Founder, PFLP
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
Terrorists do not operate in a vacuum - they need to gather
information on their target in order to increase their
probability of success.
In antiterrorism planning we see this need for information on the part of the terrorists as an opportunity to demonstrate to them that we are watching and waiting, and to introduce doubt into their planning cycle.
![Page 16: Session 3108 Developing an Antiterrorism Plan · Terrorism Terrorism is an act of violence where the victim is not the intended target Counterterrorism is the name for the active](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062603/5f23e81dbd9c480c661a16d9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Relatively sophisticated terrorist groups do not attack people or places without a basic level or planning or reconnaissance. Therefore, arguably the greatest return on investment is in the identification and disruption of pre-attack planning operations. It is crucially important to intercept the terrorists' own intelligence-gathering processes.
- Hoffman and Cragin, Four Lessons from Five Countries, RAND Review Summer 2002
![Page 17: Session 3108 Developing an Antiterrorism Plan · Terrorism Terrorism is an act of violence where the victim is not the intended target Counterterrorism is the name for the active](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062603/5f23e81dbd9c480c661a16d9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We simply want to erode an adversary’s confidence in their chances of success to a level where they will choose not to
commit the act.

What is the Threat?What weapons,
explosives, or tools do we face?
Who are the terrorists?
What tactics & techniques do we
face?
What is our Threat Level?• Critical• High• Medium• Low• Negligible
Define the Threat Environment:
• Do they exist?• What are their
capabilities?• What is their history?• What are their
intentions?• Are they engaged in the
targeting process right now?
• How competent are the national security authorities?

The special problem of guns
The open and legal carrying of firearms creates a particular challenge to security managers
Colorado Springs, Colorado, 31 October 2015

Make a Plan
• Determine area to cover
• Delegate who watches that area
• Define indicators to watch for
• Decide what should be done if
indicator appears
• Constantly verify that it is being
done

Surveillance Detection
LocationLocation
• Repeated observations of the surveillant(s) or their vehicle at different places and times in relation to the target
• Must be in an area that would allow them to see something useful: arrival or departure of staff or executives, security personnel, service vehicles, etc.
• This greatly reduces the number of places to watch
![Page 42: Session 3108 Developing an Antiterrorism Plan · Terrorism Terrorism is an act of violence where the victim is not the intended target Counterterrorism is the name for the active](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062603/5f23e81dbd9c480c661a16d9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Surveillance Detection
Correlation
Refers to the activities of the surveillant in relation to the target
• Someone who looks at her watch when the CEO’s vehicle leaves the main gate
• Someone who looks up from his newspaper and watches a delivery vehicle arriving at the facility
• Someone taking notes during shift change at the plant
• Several sightings of the same person surveilling the facility
• Several sightings of different people surveilling the facility
• Sightings of the same person in different vehicles parked near the facility
• Sightings of different people parked in the same vehicle near the facility

Surveillance DetectionMistakes
Errors the surveillant makes that allow them to be identified for what they are
• Someone whose profile doesn’t match his signature
• Someone who signals another person when certain activities occur at the target
• Someone who makes a note in a notebook when a service vehicle arrives at your main gate
• A parked car with a dry windshield when it is raining
• A person leaving an area right after a significant event occurs at the target
• Someone seen trying to covertly photograph the main entrance of your building
• Someone standing at a taxi stand, yet waving off cabs as they approach

Surveillance Detection Plan
1. General building design
2. Proximity to controlled areas
3. Portals
4. Barriers
5. Access by uncleared
personnel
6. Access by required services
7. Area denial to access
8. Areas minimized to access

Surveillance Detection Plan• What are your resources? Can you get more if
needed?
• What are your limitations?
• Where are you looking to, and where are you looking from?
• What are you looking for? How will you recognize it?
• Where are you going to send the information?
• Who is going to act on the information, and what details do they need?

Random Antiterrorism Measures
• RAMs are the heart of the AT process
• They help you to create layers of changing,
unpredictable, and flexible security measures
• They introduce doubt into the terrorist’s planning
cycle
• They remove the terrorist’s ability to predict your
defensive posture on any given day, so they cannot
predict their chances of success• Don’t use RAMs when the threat is low, as they aren’t needed.
Instead, exercise RAMs once per month to ensure guards and employees don’t forget you have an AT plan
Routine is weakness

RAM Examples• Monday: Guards check trunk of every
third vehicle entering gate
• Tuesday: Police cruiser parked outside main gate for three hours in the morning
• Wednesday: Portable CCTV and lighting system set up and covering previously uncovered area of perimeter
• Thursday: Guards check picture ID of every second person entering gate
• Friday: Explosives-sniffing dog and handler works main gate area, randomly checking vehicles and pedestrians

• Bomb threat/attack
• Real or suspected sabotage
• Active shooter
• Fire emergency
• Mass casualty
• Demonstrations/protestors
• …etc.

Help yourself succeed
• Learn to stay out of
your own way
• Don’t create and use procedures that serve process, not security
• Be quick to ditch ideas when you figure out they’re not working
• Use technology –PSIM’s are the way of the future

Conclusion• The single most important factor is corporate security
today is communication
• with your employees
• with your executive
• with law enforcement
• with intelligence agencies
• Terrorists thrive on certainty – don’t let them predict what your security plan will look like
• Look for the unusual, not just the suspicious
