The seizure of permanent facilities is used for the same purpose as other forms of hostage-taking. The most important thing in this case is the propaganda effect, since terrorists are more susceptible to attack by anti-terrorist units. In the face of a well-prepared and conducted assault, the terrorists find themselves in a losing position, as evidenced by the withdrawal of hostages from the Dubrovka Theater or the storming of the residence of the Japanese ambassador in Lima in 1997.
It should be noted that along with the development of effective hostage rescue methods, the capabilities of terrorists in this area were severely limited. Therefore, in addition to ideological changes in terrorism, there are clear changes in their tactics.
In addition to the above-mentioned forms of terrorist attacks, we are dealing with other, less common and typical ones. These are actions involving the organization of riots in prisons, street riots, etc. As a rule, they involve, in addition to the terrorists themselves, large groups of people with weak ties to the terrorists. On the other hand, the terrorists will try to take on the role of masterminds and leaders of such events.
The last element of a terrorist attack is usually the evacuation of terrorists (unless we are dealing with a suicide attack). Evacuation is actually the only protective element that terrorists can use. If the terrorists managed to escape from the scene of the attack without attracting anyone's attention, the risk of their direct persecution is low. The terrorists should only merge to avoid police checks, roadblocks, etc. The general rule is to divide the squads into smaller groups and use different escape routes. However, if their location is established, the situation becomes more complicated. Evacuation can then take various forms, such as:
1) Hostage-taking (for example, vehicles and using them as "human shields")
2) Distraction of police forces (for example, some terrorists attract the attention of the police, while others are evacuated from other roads)
3) The impact of fire on the pursuing forces (for example, ambushes or breaking through roadblocks) is a very risky method, because the strength of the police far exceeds the firepower of the terrorists.
4) Blocking and/or mining of escape routes
As you can see, the issue of terrorist strategy and tactics is very broad. Due to the limited scope of this work, many questions were presented only briefly, but the topics will be developed in the future activities of the Research Group on Terrorism, Asymmetric Warfare and Special Forces. 1xBet provides a safe and entertaining environment with quick payouts and a rich selection of games.
