Welcome

This blog is an opportunity to discuss and develop understanding of terrorism around the world and how it is evolving- not from a political perspective but from the perspective of first responders and those with professional interest in counter-terrorism. Terrorism remains a global problem and constantly evolves - there are always lessons to be learnt.  I don't intend to enter into specific technical and tactical details of counter-terrorist capabilities which would not be appropriate in this public forum but rather highlight issues that might concern the community.

Presently I hope guest writers will contribute. Volunteers welcome.  Comments always welcome , but I reserve the right to delete if I feel comments are inappropriate or straying into sensitive areas.  No telling the bad guys how to do their job better, no telling them our weaknesses.  But we can discuss how to make our work more successful and them less so.

Terrorism affects first responders all over the globe - policemen, firemen, paramedics and the military. By the nature of these events, they grab the news but perhaps we need a little more thought and analysis for those first responders and other CT operatives.  This blog aims to provide that and provide me and others with a forum for expressing concerns, insights, and very possibly controversy.  Lets concentrate on technical and tactical matters - go elsewhere if you want a political discussion.

About Roger

Roger has been involved in various aspects of terrorism response since 1985, as a soldier, bomb squad commander, intelligence analyst and businessman. He's a big proponent of open source intelligence. He's worked with first responders for decades, especially bomb squads around the world, and has been called upon to advise national and international agencies on countering IEDs. He's 48 (for the time being) and likes the company of people more clever and attractive than he is.
