Opciones para hacer frente a un ataque de este tipo UNA VEZ QUE SE PRODUZCA:Multi-Attack Terror Plot On European Cities escribió:Alex Watts, Sky News Online
Intelligence agencies have intercepted a terror plot to launch Mumbai-style attacks on Britain and other European countries, according to Sky News sources.
Sky's foreign affairs editor Tim Marshall said militants based in Pakistan were planning simultaneous strikes on London and major cities in France and Germany.
He said the plan was in the advanced but not imminent stage and the plotters had been tracked by spy agencies "for some time".
Intelligence sources told Sky the planned attacks would have been similar to the commando-style raids carried out in Mumbai.
Then, Pakistan-based Islamist group Lashkar-e-Taiba killed 166 people in a series of gun and grenade attacks in the Indian city.
Marshall said the European plot had been "severly disrupted" following intelligence sharing between Britain, France, Germany and the US.
It is not known whether the attackers are already in Europe.
News of the planned strikes came as the Eiffel Tower in Paris was evacuated because of a bomb scare for the second time in two weeks.
"It doesn't necessarily mean it was a target, but it shows how nervous the French are," added Marshall.
When the terror plan came to light, the US military began helping its European allies by trying to kill the leaders behind the plot in Pakistan's Waziristan region.
There have been a record 20 missile attacks using drone aircraft there in the past 30 days.
"I am led to believe a number of these attacks were designed against the leadership of this particular plot, which had an al Qaeda and possibly some sort of Taliban connection projecting into Europe," Marshall added.
"And they have killed several of the leaders - which is why the terror threat has not risen."
Britain's terror threat level remains at 'severe' following the underpants bomber's attempted attack on Detroit airport last Christmas.
1) Capacidad policial para actuar en eventos tipo Active Shooter Response. Acordonar y esperar no sirve cuando a cada segundo se dispara y muere gente. Los primeros en llegar tienen que ser capaces de actuar, habría que montar algo más potente que una 9mm en los patrulleros, disponer de chalecos con placas balísticas y formar a los patrulleros en tiro y atención médica prehospitalaria.
2) Disponer de equipos de intervención en las ciudades con mayor riesgo de sufrir estos ataques (fuerte presencia de radicales islamistas y concentraciones de turistas), no sería nada descabellado pensar en que fueran las propias Policías Locales las que se hicieran cargo de ello. Equipar y entrenar de forma adecuada a estos equipos, especialmente en los link-up con otros grupos mayores tio GOES, GEI, GEO y UEI.
3) Capacidad C2I, la red de cámaras de vigilancia que hay en muchísimas ciudades tiene que poder ser accedida y utilizada en tiempo real, y debe existir la capacidad de usar esa información y emplearla en apoyo de los equipos que estén respondiendo a los atacantes.
4) Planes de evacuación y atención masiva de víctimas. Por desgracia tenemos ya experiencia, el SAMUR tiene unos equipos impresionantes para atender accidentes y atentados con muchas víctimas, pero esa capacidad debe de poder ser enviada a otro lado a toda leche. ¿En la UME se han preparado para esa situación o siguen con el NBQR?
