Terrorism affects first responders all over the globe – policemen, firemen, paramedics and the military. By the nature of these events, they grab the news but perhaps we need a little more thought and analysis for those first responders and other CT operatives. In particular there are lessons to be learned from history. Aren’t there always? This blog aims to provide analysis of current and historical IEDs and EOD efforts, draw links and parallels and highlight that IEDs are not new. Let’s concentrate on technical and tactical matters – go elsewhere if you want a political discussion.
About Roger
Roger has been involved in various aspects of terrorism response since 1985, as a soldier, bomb squad commander, intelligence analyst and businessman. He’s a big proponent of open source intelligence. He’s worked with first responders for decades, especially bomb squads around the world, and has advised national and international agencies on countering IEDs. He’s fifty something (for the time being) and likes the company of people more clever and attractive than he is.
