News There are two main reasons for fearing the threat of car bombs and other explosive devices. Firstly, recent history has shown that most of the atrocities in recent years are the result of explosions. In Israel the population run a daily gauntlet in fear of the suicide bomber and the car bomber. In October 2002, on the holiday island of Bali, a bomb in a minivan exploded killing 191 people and caused large-scale carnage and devastation. In India, Columbia, Kenya, Peru, and Spain we have seen an upturn in terrorist bomber activities, and whilst the situation in Northern Ireland is relatively calm, the memory of atrocities such as Omagh and Enniskillen will remain with many of us for years. The Northern Ireland experience has shown us that Military and government establishments are a particular target for terrorist bombers. The second reason for believing that the conventional bomb is the most immanent threat is that the materials for making these bombs are much more accessible. If we assume that the sustained threat is to come from a blast; then those who are responsible for building security need to look at what measures they can take to protect property and human life from the known risk. As people who have a duty of care to personnel living and working in known target environments, they have an unenviable task in sifting through the available security equipment, and advice available. . The response to the threat of the bomber
is not simple; indeed what is required is a combined approach
based on prevention in the form of surveillance, and security
procedures. Most importantly that response needs to include building
reinforcement as a strategic back up when all else fails.
