Urban Shield Tests Police Ability Reporter Takes Part in Urban Shield Simulation Massive terror operation in US, Europe said possibly imminent 17 September 2008: A disturbing communication posted in a high level Arabic language forum suggests that some type of terrorist operation is currently underway, targeting sites within the United States and Europe. According to information developed within the last 24 hours by a deep-cover intelligence operative, Islamic terrorists have been dispatched to the U.S. and Europe and may be in place, preparing to execute unspecified terrorist attacks within the U.S. and Europe. Neither the targets nor the types of attacks were able to be identified from an analysis of the communications, although it appears possible that the European and American operations could be conducted in tandem. Also unclear is the timetable of potential attacks, although the wording pertaining to the "anticipated celebration" of the success of such attacks suggests that they will be carried out within the next few days.
Germany lists 600,000 Jews persecuted by Hitler Where the fuck is a list for the 5 million they claimed was slaughtered? While many such threats by Islamic terrorists are published constantly and end up being nothing more than propaganda, it is important to note that the origin and nature of the communications isolated here meet a significantly higher standard of evidence for threat evaluation purposes. As such, it is the recommendation of this agency that individual awareness of any suspicious activity be stepped up accordingly, and immediately reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Increased vigilance by law enforcement and security professionals is also urged, especially at areas of likely "hard" targets such as our infrastructure.

UCPD seeks volunteers for Urban Shield exercise
The University of California Police Depart-ment (UCPD) is seeking volunteer role-players to participate in Alameda County’s Urban Shield law-enforcement-training exercise, Saturday, Sept. 13, through Monday, Sept. 15.
Urban Shield is a multi-agency, regional training event designed to test and enhance the emergency preparedness and response abilities of police departments for a wide variety of critical situations. Tactical-response teams from two dozen departments across the country will be deployed around-the-clock to handle a variety of simulations and scenarios, including incidents ranging from natural disasters to acts of terrorism.
UCPD, in partnership with the city of Berkeley Police Department, is sponsoring one of these Urban Shield events — a domestic-terrorism and active-shooter simulation on the Berkeley campus. The scenario will be run continuously, day and night, from 5 a.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Monday.
Volunteer role-players from the campus community will help provide a realistic training environment. Volunteers are welcome to sign up for from three to 12 hours at a time, on either or both days. Some meals will be provided, and volunteers will also receive a commemorative t-shirt for their assistance. No particular training or experience is required.
Visit www.urbanshield.org or call UCPD at 643-1810 for more information. To volunteer, call the UCPD number.
