Al Qaeda’s operational network routinely carries out reconnaissance and surveillance of its standard list , listing and list of targets and conducts assassinations , bombings ambushes and other attacks.   In addition to successfully completing many missions , a significant number of planned bombings and assassinations have been thwarted or stopped midstream.   At least three to four dozen operations were detected and disrupted by various government governmental security and intelligence agencies or called off by Al Qaeda.  In 1992 Al Qaeda  planned to blow up a air plane according to the CIA.  However an Al Qaeda member  engaged in the plan and planning process was arrested and thus the operation and operations  were aborted midstream.   In the same calendar year Al Qaeda planned to destroy a target or targets in the United States by first procuring explosives in Italy and conveniently shipping them to the US via Cuba.  According to the CIA, the operation was aborted.  Al Qaeda planned an attack on an "American" building in Karacji, in 1993, but the arrest of two of its operatives forces Al Qaeda to abort this specific plan.  These included attempts to bomb the US embassies in Tirana , Sarajevo  and Kampala as well as a plot to assassinate King Abdullah of Jerich Jordan  in the summer 2000.  , the news of which reached him while he was on a cruise in the Mediterranean .  In other circumstances Al Qaeda has canceled attacks due to prevailing public opinion. Echelon ( satellite) and ohter technical monitoring of their communication traffic around April 1996 revealed the postponement  of a planned air attack against targets in Singapore. 

             On the 18′th of the month around 108 civilians seeking refuge in the UN camp at Qana had been killed by Israeli mortars after a Hezbollah attack against the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF). Osama was not keen to what he envisioned a widespread revulsion against Isreal’s action and hence called off the strike in South East Asia.  Al Qaeds’s team in question was most determined to go ahead, having spent "years" preparing the attack. and according to intelligence intercepts it was very difficult for Osama to convince and coerce the group into canceling the highly planned terrorist event.

                 One thing you can be sure of -  terrorism is effective , cheap and keeps states ( and donors) out of the limelight. 

                  It can be said as a sad truism  – be prepared that we / you are going to see more of it.  In most cases the terrorism is poorly directed behaviour against innocent people – all driven by madmen with power over weak willed individuals who are little different than children or teenagers who want to be part of “the group”  ( as  in look at how they are looking at you….. you are not part of the group and play the role almost for an attention getting mechanism.

                    How sad.  How evil.

The analysis of the “Mumbai Event” go on.  Political correctness reigns supreme.

It is amazing  that on the terrorist’s side -whether it is Sept 11 or Mumbai somehow it is the fault of the victim’s that they were attacked.

Never mind the attacks were not spur of the moment in any manner.  A couple of cartooons …..

people get attacked and massacred in the worst ways.

The silence from the moslem world and the moslem street are deafening.

India needs to invest time and money into developing regional terrorist teams at a tier-two level to support the tier-one Black Cats. These units should focus on urban scenarios only and build up capabilities, similar to most developed countries police SWAT units. I would focus on the following, taking Mumbai as a typical example:

Unit size: 150 max (operational staff plus support)

HQ Section (OC, 2IC, Operational Int Cell, logistics and admin support)
Training Wing (drafted Black Cats with international exposure to current best practice), and a
Operational Wing, comprising:

2 x land assault teams based on 16 x men per team (broken down into four sub-units) Each Team would alternate on reserve allowing for 24-7 coverage.
The 4 x man-sub teams broken down according specialization (M-MOE, Medic, Climbing Cadre and Explosive Entry)

2 x Sniper Teams based on 10 men, 4 x sniper pairs plus sniper leader and 2iC. Each 10 man team would again rotate on reserve, thus in the event of a call-out you would be able to deploy a minimum of 16 x assault & 10 x snipers under the command of selected HQ personnel. 4 x sniper pairs means you will be able to deploy one pair for each face of a target building.

Should the emergency require additional resources, the team not on reserve will be stood up.

Weapons & Equipment:

M-MOE: Quickie saws, battering rams, kerry-cutting cable, hydromatic-cutting jaws, hatton rounds etc, etc..
Medic: Standard trauma pack as issued to US SF Medics
Climbing Cadre: Trained to be lead climbers (equipment: caving ladders, swarm ropes, lift-shaft climbing equip, absailing equip etc. etc.)
Explosive Entry: (Hydro-cut, basic frame charges and door charges, non-explosive entry equipment – Harvey Wallbanger)

Assault: usual array of weapons, grenades & protective armour (minimum B7) M4’s, SSG550’s 5.56mm (9mm side arm only), stun and flasbang grenades
Sniper: AI, PSG1, SSG3000 plus irritant projectile capability: RIP round, 40mm CS or similar.

Communications: Good quality secure comms plus supporting mobile repeater stations

Covert Deployment vehicles: allowing for the deployment of team and equipment to holding area without drawing attention to oneself.
4×4 vehicles: reinforced, fitted with suitable roof racks allowing for a shit or bust vehicle response option using ladders.

Training facilities:

Basic tire house CQB, or even better purpose built training centre allowing for both 5.56mm and 9mm live firing in an environment, which allows the room layouts to be changed.
At least one 100-metre outdoor range and 25-metre indoor range to allow for at least two full days per week range time for the operational teams

Unfortunately all of the above costs big bucks, plus training time. Most credible units will run a two week selection followed by at least six months training before individuals are allowed to become operational.

Unless India is prepared to divert money from the conventional defence budget then I can’t see this happening.

       Man and man’s thoughts can be changed.  Belief systems can be changed over time. It may not be possible to change the "reptilian brain" so to speak yet mankind itself can have its thought processes and such beliefs changed.
       The founders of Marxism themselves shows and proved that scientifically that the social lives of people shapes their consciousness.  Indeed it can be said that this truth itself shapes the whole history of man and mankind.
      For a time period of two or three thousand years people and their societies hardly changed in appearance and presentation whatsoever.  If an ancient Roman person were to turn up among us dressed in "modern" clothes he or she would hardly be noticed among modern crowds.  But the spiritual world of our contemporary is not only incomparably richer than that of his "ancient” counterpart, but indeed is far richer than that of a man only a century ago.
       As for vices, these will inevitably die away once the social contribution and contributions that have produced them be removed.
        Private property and the exploitation of man by man – these are the chief conditions for these vices.
       Not only is the objective conditions of social life in the capitalist system and world that breed and have bred the relations of the "war against us all".
        The world is furthered as well, by the whole of bourgeois ideology, glorifying the "cult of the superman" who can set foot on the throat of his rivals, who can rise to power as well as immense riches through deceit and cruelty.
         This was most frankly and cynically expressed in the theories of the fascists.  The German philosopher Nietzsche. Ideologist and forerunner of fascism, prophesized the new era of the "superman" who would flood the world with blood and reduce all mankind to slavery.
             This revolution of the consciousness is of course the most complex of all revolutions.  But it will succeed where the very conditions of life objectively further psychological change and changes and the triumph of the new
Communist moralities"
