For almost a decade, the Los Angeles Terrorism Early Warning Group (LA TEW) has served as a regional intelligence fusion effort supporting all phases of terrorism response in the Greater Los Angeles area. Combining a core staff of law enforcement and intelligence professionals with affiliated law enforcement, fire, medical and other critical first responders the LA TEW represents an ongoing effort to protect the region against terrorist threats, and provide for effective response in the event of a terrorist incident. The LA TEW has pioneered a joint approach for the co-production of intelligence in a distributed, collaborative manner and as such may serve as a valuable model for other cities, counties, states, and countries. Over the course of the conference the need for innovative approaches to emergent threat was discussed thoroughly.

Sullivan?s IPO and Transaction Analysis Cycle counterterrorism intelligence frameworks. It will examine the constellations of group variables such as group psychologies, group behaviors and structures, ideology, available weaponry and materiel toward extrapolating how they directly influence group strategic targeting approaches, targeting preferences, and attack modus operandi particular to individual groups. Finally, it will examine terrorist psychology and group behavior dynamics from a networked counterterrorism operational framework.

Global War on Terrorism (PDF)
http://terrorism.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Documents&file=get&download=275
To assist the Congress in its oversight role, GAO is undertaking a series of reviews on the costs of operations in support of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). In related work, GAO is raising concerns about the reliability of the Department of Defense’s (DOD) reported cost data and therefore is unable to ensure that DOD’s reported obligations for GWOT are complete, reliable, and accurate. In this report, GAO (1) identified funding for GWOT in fiscal years 2004 and 2005, (2) compared supplemental appropriations for GWOT in fiscal year 2004 to the military services’ reported obligations, and (3) compared supplemental appropriations for GWOT in fiscal year 2005 to the military services’ projected obligations.

Actions Needed to Better Protect National Icons and Federal Office Buildings from Terrorism (PDF)
http://terrorism.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Documents&file=get&download=280
The threat of terrorism has made physical security for federal real property assets a major concern. Protecting these assets can be particularly complex and contentious for agencies whose missions include ensuring public access such as the Department of the Interior (Interior) and the General Services Administration (GSA). GAO’s objectives were to (1) identify any challenges that Interior faces in protecting national icons and monuments from terrorism, as well as related actions intended to address these challenges; and similarly, (2) determine any challenges GSA faces related to the protection of federal office buildings it owns or leases and actions that have been taken.

Gun Control and Terrorism (PDF)
http://terrorism.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Documents&file=get&download=301
Membership in a terrorist organization does not prohibit person from owning a gun under current law. Thus, during presale screening of prospective firearms purchasers, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System historically did not utilize terrorist watch list records. However, for homeland security and other purposes, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) applicable state agencies began receiving notices (effective February 3, 2004) when suchscreening involved watch lists records. GAO determined (1) many checks have resulted in matches with terrorist watch records, (2) procedures for providing federal counterterrorism officials relevant information valid-match background checks, and (3) the extent to which the monitors or audits the states’ handling of such checks.

In 2001, the United States began planning its security assistance for the 2004 Summer Olympics, responding to the heightened worldwide anxiety following the September 11 attacks and Greece?s request for international advice on its security plan. The United States based much of its security assistance on knowledge gained through Greece?s participation in the Department of State?s Antiterrorism Assistance Program and through the staging of a major U.S. military exercise in March 2004. Athens, Greece, were held against the backdrop of growing concerns about international terrorism.
