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.
