Terrorist Event

UKpolice forces have had to adapt their tactical approach to the emerging terror threat that now faces the UK. This has led to an evolution in the training, education and conduct of authorised firearms officers and an increased capability in the provision of immediate lifesaving care to injured casualties. This article intends to describe the police response to a marauding terror attack and describes the medical capabilities authorised firearms officers possess in order to educate other emergency service responders to such an event. The challenges of training for a major terrorist event and the benefits of collaborative working with other emergency service personnel are discussed.

It is evident that there has been enormous growth in terrorist attacks in recent years. The idea of online terrorism has also been growing its roots in the internet world. These types of activities have been growing along with the growth in internet technology. These types of events include social media threats such as hate speeches and comments provoking terror on social media platforms such as twitter, Facebook, etc. These activities must be prevented before it makes an impact. In this paper, we will make various classifiers that will group and predict various terrorism activities using k-NN algorithm and random forest algorithm. The purpose of this project is to use Global Terrorism Database as a dataset to detect terrorism. We will be using GTD which stands for Global Terrorism Database which is a publicly available database which contains information on terrorist event far and wide from 1970 through 2017 to train a machine learning-based intelligent system to predict any future events that could bring threat to the society.

AbstractObjectiveA series of sniper attacks in the Washington, DC, area left 10 people dead and 3 wounded. We developed and tested a model that examined the unique and interdependent relationships of sniper-related television viewing, prior life-threatening events, and parental status to identification with attack victims.MethodsParticipants were 1238 residents of the DC area (aged 18-90 years, mean=41.7 years; 51% female; 68% white) who completed an online survey that assessed identification with sniper attack victims, amount of television viewing, and prior life-threatening events. Identification was measured by using a previously developed scale that assessed to what extent participants identified victims as similar to themselves, a friend, or a family member.ResultsThe relationship of television viewing to identification was examined by using multivariate linear regression analyses. In univariate analyses, female gender, having children, higher levels of television viewing, and past life-threatening events were independently related to greater identification. After adjustment for demographics and life-threatening events, sniper-related television viewing continued to be associated with identification (B=0.61, P≤0.001, ∆R2=0.07). Examination of the interactions of television viewing by parental status and television viewing by life-threatening event revealed significant relationships.ConclusionsAttention to events preceding and during a terrorist event could help in the recognition of those at particular risk for increased identification with attack victims. These findings also have implications for recommendations for media exposure during an event. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2018; 12: 337–344)

The Relationship

While the relation between terrorism and tourism has been an important topic for tourism research, the questions whether terrorism affects tourism immediately and how long after a terrorism event tourism recovers are, as yet, not clearly answered. The aim of this article is to better understand the magnitude and temporal scale of the impact of terrorism on tourism. To this end, a research model differentiating between short-term and long-term effects of terrorism on tourism is developed and analyzed for the destination Israel using data on tourists from Germany. The results show both short-term and long-term impacts with a time lag between the terrorist event and the beginning of tourism decline of 1 or up to 6 months. An economic influence on the development of tourist arrivals was not detected, but seasonality plays an important role in the relationship between terrorism and tourism.

Terrorist Event

The terrorist event that took place at the end of this year in the form of an attack on worshipers in one of the London mosques in June 2018 and attacks on police officers in France in early 2017 illustrated that terrorism is not always identical with certain religions, especially Islam. Islam and terror are not two things that have identical relationships, only they often trigger the birth of a social consensus that allows other parties to ride it. Therefore, there needs to be a solution to eliminate the stigma that Islam is a terrorist religion through an Islamic education approach. This paper describes the two formulations of Islamic education that can be used to counteract the ideologies of radicalism. First, Islamic education must express clearly the separation between Islam and terrorism by returning to the vision of Islam as the religion of rahmatan lil’alamin. Second, placing the prophetic-humanistic values and historicity of Islam as the basis of the Islamic education curriculum, and making mosques as centers of Islamic education both formally and culturally.

The article is an analysis from the theoretical and dogmatic point of view of the institution of “special use of weapons”. The intention of the legislator was to comprehensively regulate the issue of the so-called sniper shot, which is to be the reaction of the state apparatus to terrorist behavior. The direct goal of “special use of weapons” is to deprive or endanger the life of the perpetrator of a terrorist event in such a way as to ensure maximum protection of the life and health of individuals whose legal rights may potentially be threatened by terrorist activities. This study aims to present the normative shape of the discussed institution and analyze it in terms of the assumptions of the theory of law and criminal law dogmatics, and in particular, it is an attempt to answer the question about the scope of responsibility of public officials authorized to fire a sniper shot in terms of circumstances excluding unlawfulness

Abstract Background: To evaluate the trauma patients presenting at the Emergency Department (ED) of Mogadishu Somalia Turkish Training and Research Hospital following the explosion caused by a suicide bomber with a truck loaded with explosives in the Somalian capital, Mogadishu.Methods: The data of patients presenting at the hospital following the severe explosion on 14 October 2017 were accessed from the hospital information management system, patient examination forms and patient records and were retrospectively examined. Results: The patients comprised 188 (74.6%) males and mean age of 30.94±12.23 years (range, 1-80 years). 86 (34.1%) patients were marked with red code, 138 (54.8%) patients had superficial injuries. 173 (68.7%) patients were managed in the ED and 7 (2.8%) patients died on first admission in the ED. Multiple trauma injuries were detected in 43 (17.1%) patients, and 31 (12.3%) patients were admitted to Orthopedics departmentConclusion: Disaster management in a terrorist event requires rapid transport, appropriate triage, effective surgical approaches and specific postoperative care. Such a form of disaster management can be effective in reducing mortality of the injured who can be saved.
