Tactics to halt multiple attackers before they cause mass-casualty disasters!

| Here an officer provides cover, prepared to use lethal force, as his partner apprehends the suspect. Proper training, suitable weapons and essential gear are all critical in counterterrorist operations. |

You half way to follow your busy tour of night work, patrolling in large cities, when a police radio began to ring out with the job priority: "All the cars stopped. There are reports of society, there are several armed men fired into the passenger platform railway station City Center. Many calls. There is no description of the gunmen at the moment. "

Events like this make overwhelmed first responders in Mumbai, India, where back in November 2008. The Mumbai, India's largest city and financial center of the country, was attacked by members of the LET (Lashkar-e-tayyba, or Urdu for "army of the righteous") , a group of supporters of jihad from Pakistan. LET ten heavily armed attackers, separated into several different teams, simultaneously attacked various locations around Mumbai with explosives, assault rifles and grenades while communicating with their handlers in Pakistan through mobile phones. The leaders of terrorist operations unfold LET witnessed burning in the international cable news during the three-day attack and directing the attackers to perform actions in a different location. In the end, LET has attacked a nightclub and a few elegant hotel frequented by Westerners, the train station, Jewish community centers and hospitals: 164 innocent lives were taken, and more than 300 wounded. It is the Indian version 9/11, only less plane that crashed into the building.
First responders rather than across the country, especially the police, since a long time have started to prepare and train their members to the possibilities of "multi-targeted attacks" (MTA), also referred to as "multi-strike capability counterterrorism actions" (MACTAC) events. And given the nature of our times, it's a pretty good reason. Police always work and the topic of terror never separate enough for me when I started my career in law enforcement. I was just a young recruit in the academy when two of the well-known terrorist operations against most of the 1990s occurred. One occurs in the most unthinkable of location, the heart of America.
Police agencies still always have to consider what types of attacks that can occur within their jurisdiction and any location which is very susceptible (or considered targeted by terrorists) to attack. They are at the present time must recognize not only the potential for some possibility of an attack in the area but also a coordinated campaign targeted killings spread in the town or city.
Mode Of Attack
There are many categories of events that terrorists could use them. Here there are only five different modes of attack that has historically proven to occur worldwide. Ofdecimation attack with the purpose is to kill or injure innocent people as possible, using a sniper rifle or grenade bombers. Perpetrators of terror usually always choose the target rich environment (the location of which was infested with many people), usually in a soft-target site (a non-fortified or defended). The terrorists LET had this goal in mind when they spray the Russian machine-gun fire to hundreds of passengers at the railway station of Mumbai. Officers always have to be aware of the location of the target rich where they patrol, or especially those events that bring large groups of people together in a location that soft targets.
The second is a parallel device attacks, carried out by some explosive device detonated simultaneously or near simultaneously in the same location. The idea is to have several bombs detonated simultaneously to maximize casualties, while having a backup device is ready for every bomb defect or to create more confusion and chaos. 2004 Madrid train bombings by al-Qaeda terror cell inspired action, in which four separate trains were attacked by high explosives, is one example. The attack killed 191 people and injured 1,800.
Another threat to be considered, especially for police, fire and EMS respondents, is the prospect of a secondary device attacks. This could be a second IED, timed to go off when first responders arrive at a site of the initial bombing. It can be placed where the terrorists believe staging area, a triage area or command post will be set up. American terrorist Eric Rudolph and his Army of God used secondary devices on several occasions. One secondary devices used by Rudolph in 1997 at an abortion clinic in Georgia. About an hour after the first IED exploded, the second detonated. Miraculously, no one was hurt seriously. There is no doubt that the target is intended for secondary devices: first responders.
A mass hostage siege involves taking a large number of hostages, ideally in soft-target locations, with the goal of eventually kill the victim, get the terrorist demands are met or buying time for other purposes. Chechen terrorists is well known for large-scale hostage siege. They have taken over a Moscow theater and several hospitals, each with hundreds of people were arrested, but by far the most heinous was the takeover of the Beslan school in southern Russia in September 2004. For a few days, close to 1,200 hostages detained by approximately 50 terrorists with guns. Explosives used to trap the place. This terrible siege ended after entering bold and shootout with Russian special forces, which resulted in the loss of more than 300 hostages, most of whom are children of primary school.
Lastly, there are some scattered attacks, which involved simultaneous attacks in different locations. These few incidents are part of the same overall operation, using some or all of these methods. This collective attack will have a greater effect and impact of the amount of just one individual incident or operation by terror groups. LET attacks across Mumbai are of this nature. We can also add this category dark day in September 2001, when al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airliners large total, the fuel is fully charged, to carry out deadly attacks against the people did not suspect us.
As an instructor for a large metropolitan police department, I had the opportunity to work in our country a lesson committee, which discussed the subject MTA response tactics. There are some weapons in the recommendation for patrol officers to respond to the suit, and certain equipment highlighted: specific requirements for long guns (M16 or carbine variant, using ammunition NATO / military rounds), following the recommended use of go-fast bag that officers could sling on the contained such needs extra magazine for a rifle and a pistol, first aid kit, flex cuffs, a pair of binoculars, water and so on. Also suggest that do not violate the protective headgear of tools and equipment such as helmets, NIJ Level III vest thick, ceramic ballistic shields and protective eye wear military.
Unfortunately, the terrorist use of MTA predicted to be the wave of the future, and the police should be aware of the threats and prepare accordingly.
