Terror Threat to Shopping Malls, Warns FBI

The lead up to the holiday season is again accompanied by a renewed warning of terrorist threats against shopping malls.

The FBI is this week warning that Al-Qaeda may be preparing a series of holiday attacks on US shopping malls in Los Angeles and Chicago. The alert says Al-Qaeda "hopes to disrupt the U.S. economy and has been planning the attack for the past two years."

A useful guideline on protecting shopping malls against terrorist attack can be downloaded from the UK Police site http://www.nactso.gov.uk/
Protection against Explosive Devices is the subject of a one-day workshop delivered by ARC Training on 26 November 2007. Contact Janet for details.
