ABOUT SUICIDE BOMBINGS

The recent rise in suicide bombings is likely in response to governments imposing
increasingly stringent
security measures. Suicide bombings have become one of the few remaining ways for
terrorist
organizations to effectively target their enemies, and are a way that such groups can fight
against an
enemy with conventional military superiority. A successful suicide bombing inflicts damage at
little cost to
irregular fighting forces.

It is only a matter of time before suicide bombers attempt to target US sites. Emergency
responders at
all levels must learn to work together to deter suicide bombers from attacking sites in their
towns, and to
respond in the event that an attack does occur.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

SUICIDE BOMBER is designed to provide training and information to bomb squads, police,
fire fighters,
EMS, security, and military personnel likely to be on the scene of an attempted or actual
suicide
bombing. Emergency management, hospital emergency department personnel, dispatchers,
and others
who would support the front line response would also benefit from training with this program.

The program outlines trends in suicide terrorism, briefly studies some of the groups that may
be
associated with such bombings, and describes their motivations, goals and tactics. The most
common
bomb targets are identified. The program examines how different types of suicide bombs are
constructed and concealed, both on a human body and in a vehicle, and offers clues to the
presence of a
human or vehicle bomb.

Suicide Bomber stresses the importance of intelligence gathering and cooperation. It
describes the
process that terrorists often go through to plan an attack and shows how improved security
measures
can defend a site before a bomber has the opportunity to carry out the plan.

The program portrays both pre-detonation and post detonation responses. It shows
dispatchers taking
warning calls, the mobilization of local responders, notification of federal agencies, and
making the
decision whether to evacuate civilians from the area. It also discusses the use of deadly force
against a
suspect, and what to do if the suspect appears to want to surrender. For post detonation
situations, the
program depicts responders identifying WMD agents through monitoring and sampling,
checking for
secondary devices, triage, dealing with injured civilians, conducting search and rescue, and
more.

Suicide Bomber was filmed in Ventura County, CA with the help of local emergency response
organizations. An accompanying Leader’s Guide includes seminar objectives, quizzes, ideas
for
classroom and field exercises, and other resources for teachers or students at a seminar.
