When and not if a Mumbai attack occurs
We have been publishing since this time last year (2009) that Britain was at risk of a Mumbai style attack. Back in 2009 a report appeared that suggested that Police were concerned that there was a Terror Cell in or around London that had the capability and resources to carry out such an attack. The threat never went away during 2010 but its only now that so much emphasis has been given to this topic with plans afoot to up arm and train the Police in offensive tactics. Giving them fully automatic weapons and training them to fire and manoeuvre.
In the past few days security forums and websites have been saying its a matter of “when and not if” there is a Mumbai style attack in Europe. Lets not be complacent about this threat. Any City is at risk. It doesn’t have to be London, Paris or Berlin. There is on constant in all of this and that is how long is it going to take to respond? In Mumbai over 160 people were killed in the first minutes. Could officers get to the scene and find fix and contact the Terrorist in minutes? this is the big unanswered question.
Mumbai attack
Intelligence agencies have discovered AQ plans to carry our Mumbai style attacks in Europe. During the attacks in Mumbai over 160 people were killed in the first mins of the attack.
Do we have an adequate response to such an attack? I believe that we don’t. The police couldnt react in sufficient numbers in that time and the SAS also could not mount any Counter Insurgency in that time. We have been told that armed officers who are already in the City area would be there to react.
When you see these officers walking round they are normally in pairs chatting to each other and not really taking account of whats happening around them. Any terrorist who carries out efficient Hostile Reconnaissance will note this and make the armed officers the first target. Terrorists will have fully automatic weapons where as the police only have single shot facility on the common H&K MP5.

How’s ya Chip and Pin technique?
A recent report by ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency) has highlighted the crime risk posed by ATMs.
The report highlights that cash taken illegally from ATMs is still the preferred method for criminals.
PIN numbers are obtained by simply watching the user or by more elaborate methods such as spy cameras, false PIN overlays and even fake machines.
Blue Tooth technology is then used to transmit details to a laptop nearby.
Physical attacks across Europe are up 32% over the last 12 months.
People want access to cash on the go at all times therefore the balance between security and accessibility has to be top priority while always working to defeat criminals.
