IntroductionIn many of the Ports that the U.S. Navy visits, terrorism is active and a real part of the societyConstant vigilance and seriousness needs to be maintained in order to effectively combat these threats

How Terrorists Identify and Select Targets Location: locations frequented by Americans

Association: American tourists Personnel associated with the U.S. military

Opportunity: Terrorists look for soft targets LOCATIONlocations frequented by Americans (such asmilitary installations or facilities, or certain hotels, apartment buildings, public transportation centers and nightclubs frequented by Americans). Individuals should maintain heightened awareness in these locations and leave immediately if they observe suspicious behavior or activity

ASSOCIATIONAvoid disclosing your U.S. affiliationBlend in with the local populace.

OPPORTUNITYA soft target is a person, information, or facility in which the terrorist perceives they have good chance of a successful attack and a low risk of interference by security forces. To minimize opportunity, individuals should maintain vigilance, practice good judgement

Hostage Survival The Lie YouWantto Believe for Survival

If someone will threaten violence, they are a violent person

When someone is told a lie they desperatelywantto believe for survival, theywillbelieve it as when a captor tells a captive,Do what I say and I wont hurt you.But anyone who threatens violence islikely, after all, to use violence. Even if a captor holds a weapon on one victim to demand obedience from the others (a hostage/slave situation), he'lllikelykill them all anyway.
