The article that I choose was suicide attack. The article did a good job of showing the facts about suicide attacks. I would say that it was a reliable source. I like the fact that it went into Pre-1980 and Post 1980 of suicide attack. The article did a great job o showing the history of suicide attacks based on history and by country. The article really looked into the importance of Islam and suicide attacks. But I think on the topic of Islam in this article that the viewpoints that are overrepresented on the grounds that there is a lot of info on just that subject. I also wish this article would have had more information on Al Qaeda and its leaders and tactics with suicide attacks.


The 2nd article that I choose was Left-wing terrorism. This article was really short and there was not a whole lot of information under each title. I would have liked to seen more information on the ideology and history of Left-wing terrorism. Also under the country that each has apart of Left-wing terrorism, there is little information of back ground on the topic. The viewpoints are underrepresented with little substance. A lot more information could be added. The links work and I cant figure out if there is any plagiarism. It is just really short and little info about Left-wing terrorism. Could have a lot more added.

Road-map IV- Soft targets have been some of the main focus of attacks by terrorist because they are easy to attack and appear “soft” in meaning low security, open to public accuses and easy to get away once the attack has been done. Terrorist like to focus on these easy targets because people tend not to even be aware of a terrorist threat in or around the area. As time goes on and more terrorist attacks happen to these soft targets there needs to be more focus on how to prevent these attacks from happening. One way is for aggressive but polite monitoring of security personnel in and around the event or concert that is taking place. Instead of security guards that just stand still, you need security teams engage the crowd, which move in an outside of the people at an event. But before the event or place of business the planning should already taking place. The first step should be surveillance. Beforehand terrorists will stakeout a site of the place they plan to attack way ahead of time, they use vision devices and binoculars. You need to watch for people taking pictures in places where tourists normally wouldn't. Also be aware if they are taking pictures of doors, security checkpoints, and staff areas. Another way to be more prepared for an attack is terrorist might try to gather information. Watch for people that are asking detailed questions of people onsite, including details about shift changes or access to a facility. Watch for inappropriate interest by people who do not appear to have any business at a venue. You need to test you security at any chance you get. Practice makes perfect. Do daily checks and also do drills to test the time of how long it takes the team to respond to the drill. This is one of the best ways to be prepared for the attack. To know how long it takes for the team to respond to the drills. Also be aware of terrorist running their own test on the venue that they are planning to attack. Sometimes they will call or pull the fire alarm to see how long it take for people to get out and how long it takes of officials to respond to the incident. This is their way of testing. Also have people being aware of terrorist acquiring their supplies. They will sometimes rent cars, purchase vehicles or acquire the guns and or things they need for the attack in or around the area. Keep an eye out for large cash transactions or untraceable cash card purchases and for people who don't have a believable reason for making the purchase of those items. Another thing to watch for is impersonation. Sometimes terrorist will steal uniforms. Construction workers, hospital officials and police are some of the uniforms they steal. Watch for and report thefts of any such gear in days before the attack. The last thing to be on the watch for is in the minutes before the attack terrorists have to gather their weapons. They have to transport them to the scene of the attack. Watch for people with weapons or explosives in a car, on the sidewalk or entering a venue should immediately call 911 the faster police can arrive to the scene, the less time the attackers will have before someone stops them.
