India unveils ‘anti-terror buggy’
Wednesday, 17 February 2010
A mini armoured car, designed for use in confined spaces such as airports and hotels targeted in terror attacks, has gone on display at an Indian arms fair.
The battery operated, two million rupee ($45,000) Anti-Terrorist […]
“I feel safe wearing it in my ankle holster every day,” said Verma, 27, who runs a family business selling fire-protection systems. “I have a right to self-protection, because random street crime and terrorism have increased. The police cannot be there for everybody all the time. Now I am a believer in the right to […]
Wow, these guys are getting innovative. The attack using a paraglider opens up all sorts of ideas and problems-both for the terrorist and for the defenders. I believe many paraglider kits can be used for tandem jumping, so they could conceivably haul a payload of equal weight. So that could be a payload of […]
Another great post from Jody. This story puts a little more light on to a subject we briefly covered here and here. India is massive, and if Mumbai is India’s 9/11, then it totally makes sense that the security industry growth would match the U.S. growth after our tragedy.
Now one of the thoughts I had, is […]
Outstanding. This is the kind of film I like, just because it breaks down what happened and allows the viewing public to see first hand how to combat something like this. Knowing is half the battle, and we have to expect that attacks like this will happen again, and in all corners of the world. […]
-In May 2008 Topsgrup acquired a 51 percent controlling interest in UK-based Shield Guarding, a $121 million security services provider. The company is now raising money to buy out the remaining 49 percent in Shield Guarding and possibly acquire newer companies. “We have signed a memorandum of understanding with a $300 million US […]
Other companies have also launched security services. The Indian building firm DLF has formed TerraForce, its own security outfit, trained by the Israeli army and the US marines, to patrol its properties. Infosys, the IT giant, and the country’s largest private-sector firm, Reliance Industries, have both been allotted permanent protection from India’s state Central Industrial Security […]
Bravo, and I am pretty impressed with the standards they have put together. It is a start at least and hopefully we will get some feedback, good or bad, from any industry folks from India about this.
It is also important to point out, that incidents like the Mumbai attacks require competent first responders […]

November 28, 2008
BBC
A team of South African bodyguards have been explaining how they led 120 hostages to safety from a hotel seized by gunmen in the Indian city, Mumbai.
The guards, armed only with knives and meat cleavers, helped other hotel guests to safety down a fire escape.
They carried a traumatised old […]
Some are saying it is Indian Mujahadeen, and the Deccan Muj. could be a front. Still no real confirmation on who was responsible.
