Counter Terrorism Conference and Exhibition: The threat our nations face from internal & external terrorism is a seamless one. It is no longer easily divided into foreign affairs, defence or domestic affairs. It is one where the capabilities of those who seek to attack our countries and its communities are significant and increasing. Attacks around the world have shown that terrorists will attack those targets they perceive as being attractive. Amongst the likely targets for international terrorists are locations with comparatively limited protective security measures which afford the potential for terrorists to cause mass casualties and wreak havoc against a nation's critical national infrastructure. The bomb attacks on the London underground and bus in July 2005 and more recently Moscow’s train bombings serve as a stark reminder of the challenges that we face. To counter this threat, the response must also be seamless, dynamic, agile and adaptive. SMi is proud to introduce its Counter Terrorism conference which is taking place in London this coming November. This event offers you the chance to come and take part in dynamic discussions and debates including transnational terrorism, internal and external threats, infrastructure security, airport security, cyber terrorism, financing terrorism and securing major international events. In addition take the opportunity to take part in our new networking forum with distinguished professionals and decision makers from across the international counter terrorism community. www.counterterrorism-conf.com
